Welcome to another episode where we’re exploring my top 5 SEO disasters – the mistakes I wish I’d avoided! 💔 We all know SEO can be a tricky beast, it’s as much about what you don’t do as it is about what you do. So, let’s take a journey through my SEO missteps to help you avoid the same pitfalls.
First up is the peril of installing too many plug-ins. 🚫 I’ll share my firsthand experience of how a Virtual Assistant’s seemingly innocent act of installing Rank Math led to my top-ranking content being no-indexed. Remember, like Tetris, it’s all about the right combination, not the quantity.
Next, we’ll discuss the shiny object syndrome – the lure of having too many sites. 🌐 I once thought, like many of you might, that more is better. But trust me, spreading yourself too thin over multiple projects can have dire consequences on your SEO.
Then, we venture into the world of KPIs – and why not tracking them was a major blunder. 📊 Not a fan of numbers? I wasn’t either. But my failure to track crucial metrics early on had a much bigger impact than I had ever realized.
The fourth disaster zone is not staying close enough to SEO, even when you’ve built a team. 👥 I’ll tell you why it’s essential to stay in the SEO trenches and not distance yourself too much, even when you have an efficient team.
Lastly, we touch on the pitfalls of hiring. 🕴️ A digital marketing experience doesn’t always translate into an SEO savvy team member. I’ll discuss the mistakes I’ve made in hiring, and why having a person accountable for multiple tasks can be far more efficient.
Prepare to dive into the tumultuous sea of SEO disasters, and emerge wiser! 🌊 Stay tuned and keep your SEO game strong! 💪 Remember, every mistake is a step closer to success.
This isn’t a tutorial by an ‘SEO expert’, but a candid confession from someone who’s been through the grind. Let’s learn together. 👍
