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.

Would you redirect Website A to Website B, when Website B is in the middle of a HTTP=>HTTPS migration?
Hey guys, I'm curious on your thoughts around this scenario... Website A: 35,000 monthly pageviews 1,000 pages 375 root linking domains currently HTTPS focused on one topic weak rankings for competitive keywords Website B: 3M monthly pageviews 32,500 pages 3,500 root linking domains started HTTP to HTTPS migration 1 week ago. 1/3 of pages indexed as HTTPS. focused on many topics strong rankings for competitive keywords Requirement: I want to have a reliable read on how Website A's keyword rankings change after redirecting it's pages to Website A. This post-migration analysis will be used as a basis to assess the risk of redirecting another website we own that is similar to Website A into Website B. My question: Would you wait until most of the pages on Website B are indexed as HTTPS before doing a 301 of Website A to Website B? Please back up your answer with reasons why or why not 🙂

Images and SEO
Hi, I would like some opinions on the topic of using images for SEO. I have come across a few sites that I see have very few backlinks, but have decent pagerank and seem to rank well for certain keywords. One such site I looked at had very little content other than tons of images (It was a joke blog that focussed on funny images, funny pics etc) and now I am starting to question whether hotlinking images assists in SEO? are there any benefits to having someone using one of your images (hosted on your site) ? I do recall reading somewhere that someone hotlinking an image is akin to a link. Any truth in this?
