Over time, I’ve learned that making small SEO adjustments can significantly impact how your content performs. Here’s a suggestion of the things that have been working for me and how you can apply these insights:
1. Header tags
Use header tags (H1, H3) to structure your content logically. This improves readability and helps search engines understand your content hierarchy.
- H1 Tag: Typically used for the title of the post.
- H3 Tags: For main sections in your content. Ensure they include relevant keywords when appropriate.
2. Image Descriptions: Optimize for Relevance
Every image you upload should have an alt description that includes the article title. This not only improves accessibility but also signals to search engines what your content is about. For example, if your article is titled “Boost Your SEO Strategy”, an image alt text like “Boost Your SEO Strategy infographic” is perfect.
3. External Links: Build Credibility
While it’s tempting to only link to your own pages, including high-quality external links to reputable sites boosts your article’s authority. Readers appreciate the added value, and search engines reward content that connects to other relevant resources.
4. Meta Titles and Descriptions: Stay in Range
- Meta Titles: Keep these within 50–60 characters to ensure they display fully in search results.
- Meta Descriptions: Aim for 150–160 characters to summarize the page effectively without truncation.
Use tools like Yoast SEO or Goggle’s preview tool to test your tags before publishing. These tools are also available in the admin section of Wealthy Affiliate your one stop shop.
5. Social Media Optimization
Make sure your social media titles and descriptions are punchy and within range. A well-crafted post not only drives traffic but also creates consistency between your site and your social profiles. Tools like Canva can help design eye-catching thumbnails to enhance shareability. Encourage readers to share your content by adding sharing buttons. This can increase visibility and traffic to your post.
6. Social Media Backlinks: A Work in Progress
I’m still refining this, but getting backlinks from social media is crucial. Sharing your content consistently and encouraging others to share helps build domain authority and boosts SEO. So I have been sharing my content on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter daily.
7. Mobile-Friendliness
Ensure your blog is mobile-friendly. A responsive design ensures that your content is accessible and looks good on all devices, which is crucial for SEO.
Why These Steps Matter
SEO isn’t just about rankings; it’s about connecting with your audience. By refining these small details, you create a seamless experience that draws readers in, keeps them engaged, and builds trust. And please don’t forget to check your keywords and quality content along with these things that I have mentioned.
If you’re still working on your SEO game like me, remember: it’s all about progress, not perfection! Take these steps one at a time, and before you know it, you’ll see the results. Happy optimizing!
