Need bullet points for a new website on what to do for SEO
-
Hello,
My company just launched a new website and its a competitve market it looks like. Its for moving boxes and moving supplies. They want a bullet point list (nothing real specific) of what I will be doing for SEO for the new website. I have been out of the loop for more than a year with SEO so not sure what the best things to do first are.
Any help would be great.
Thanks
John

I'd suggest setting up a ROI model which looks at how the activities will positively effect your KPI's.
You'll see a high increase in spend to begin with then level off at a consistent rate, but I would advise getting some scope of what you are paying for to 'SEO' your website.
Or with the recent G update just do nothing haha

Hi John,
Here is a list that I have given to a client before to show what we would do in terms of some SEO:
- Optimisation of on-page website technical code
- Sustained back-linking campaign to build reputable links
- Site architecture formatting and streamlining
- Conversion rate optimisation
- Webpage structure and cosmetic build changes
- Thorough analysis and A/B testing of website for continued improvement
- Directory and blogging submissions through PR routes
- Extensive competitor analysis and monthly performance reports
- Linking and distribution of content through social media platforms
- Submission of web pages to search engines and creation of sitemap
In terms of what you need to do, I would first start with the on-page work, which would consist of (not exclusively):
- page titles and meta data
- optimising page content
- img alt attributes
- URL tidying
- internal and external linking
- creation of a sitemap
- keyword analysis
- new content creation
These are just a few things but will hopefully get you on your way.
Let me know if you need any further help
Matt.

New website strategy concerning Google Spider
Hello, I have a question concerning a new website. What should I do, SEO wise? Should I place all my content on my pages at once? And thus let the spider crawl everything at once? Or should I place my content in different phases? So the spider could crawl my pages multiple times in some days/weeks time? Or do both ways come to the same result? Thank you,

Ecommerce website consolidation
I have a large ecommerce site and several smaller nitche ecommerce sites. All have the same products, but the smaller sites are loosing traffic. I want to combine all the sites to the larger site so it will be easier to manage, but I don't want to loose any rank on the smaller sites. Example: www.yourpromopeople.com - This is the large site I want to use. www.logocoolies.com www.fourcolormagnets.com - These are a couple of the smaller sites I want to combine with the larger one. Questions: What are the pros and cons in doing this? What would be the best way to do this? Would redirecting the URL's to the larger site's product pages do the trick or is there a better option? Thanks for the help.

Could any SEO's please tell me if you think the following is the make up of a solid SEO campaign or if it should be adjusted?

Redirecting my new Website URL to my old Website URL
Hi! OK, I am semi - new to SEO Moz but have been self-teaching for 3 years. However I am stuck.. I have been operating my e-commerce site from www.shopadornonline.com for the past 3 years. I just purchased www.shopadorn.com Right now Shopadorn.com re-directs to www.shopadornonline.com because all my products and links go to shopadornonline.com/productblahblahblah I guess I am stuck. Not sure what to tell my web designer to do? Do I give up on having shopadorn.com OR do I start re-directing customers and doing 301 re-directs? I think from what i have read that it is bad to have traffic going to both shopadorn and shopadornonline as they compete for rankings? Where should I start?
