Technical Part

The technical part of page optimization is just as important as the content itself. So let’s start here.

Look in the google search console:

  • if page have any errors;
  • if all the pages are in the index;
  • if pages included in the sitemap;
  • if the necessary components of the page are open for indexing: like java script, styles, etc;
  • check other sections in the console as well: Mobile Usability, Core Web Vitals, Page Experience.

Google has repeatedly stated – speed can impact a rating of the website.
It’s all about content accessibility. And the most important part of the content is the visible part, which must be immediately found on the first screen.
The impact on conversion is directly related to SEO. Speed has become a factor that affects conversion. Speed affects SEO as well as conversion.
Check the code and server settings. If there is a technical specialist, let him take a look.

Test for response time is the primary measure for SEO-promotion of the site. To find out data of the server response use the webmaster panel or other resources like Page Speed InsightPingdomWebPageTest

Check the Metrics:

  • stay with a high-performance server;
  • find out if you can reduce the server request numbers;
  • check and clear the database of unnecessary files;
  • create caches of pages;
  • take out all unnecessary third-party resources.

If you have a WordPress website – try plugins for server request validation, for caching and data cleansing

Content Optimization

Content optimization is associated with the writing itself. The content of the website should looks great for both parts: the desired audience and for robots. What is that mean?

Naturally, and good for SEO if on page:

  • the topic is fully described;
  • the article is written for the user — it’s useful and easy to read;
  • the text has synonyms and words closely related to the topic;
  • the text is structured.
    Such an article or text is easier and faster to perceive.

Content should leads visitors to the goal (button to order, or download a brochure, etc.), and at the same time offers robots texts that are most relevant to the specific requests. Larch content or faster page? Finding the best solution can take time since each option must be indexed and considered by the search engine.

We offer a number of recommendations that will facilitate your work on adding content to the site. The first group of tips is aimed at closing the needs of users. The second is SEO optimization of this content. Both groups interact with each other.

  • The text is logical and structured.
    Each subsequent paragraph on the semantic content continues the previous one.
