Now, before we get started. I want to go over three things. And I want to congratulate you for these three things because you’ve done the hardest part.

Once you’ve realized the need for change. Because look, if you don’t make any change there’s no progress.

Two, you sought out advice online via SEO, that’s how you found me.

And three, you’re committed to making the change today which is, to get you more traffic to your website.

And I’m living proof, that SEO works right. People are always asking me, “hey does SEO really work, “can I get a ton of traffic from it?” And the answer is yes. Just look at my website.

Over time, my traffic has continually raised and is continually growing and that’s what’s led me to over literally six million visitors a month and out of those visitors over four million of them come from search engines. You can do it no matter what space you’re in. It literally works for everyone.

A lot of people like, branding and customer experience? “Hey what does that have to do with SEO?” As you’re going through this course, there are six ways we’re going to be supporting you. You’re going to have weekly content like as you’re seeing here but on top of the audio and the video you’re also going to have slides and PowerPoint templates and worksheets and PDF templates. And as long as you follow along you’ll be able to succeed when it comes to SEO, right.

We also have weekly live Q&A calls. If you’re part of the email list you’ll see that we’re doing them you’ll get notified about them. If you’re not you can go to neilpatel.com/newsletter to opt-in. My team, we’re also here to help you out. When you email support@neilPatel.com, we try to answer as many questions as possible.

There’s also the community, whether it’s social media and leaving a comment there we’re here to respond, I’m there to respond as well. It’s my blog, you leave a comment I’m there to help you out as well. And of course, if you need extra hand-holding and you want my team to do everything for you there’s my ad agency Neil Patel Digital as well.

All the calls are recorded, so that way they can be referenced again. If you have any questions you can always ask them, we’re here to help you grow your business. You can also speak with some of my team members and hopefully, we can help you succeed and get you that traffic that you need. And you will see the results as long as you follow along.

We do like helping people out whether you’re a small business or a large business, or you have little to no money again, we are here to help people out.

And if you’re worried that it’s too late to start because SEO is super competitive now.

That’s a limitation of you saying that” hey, it’s too late.” I don’t want you to have that mindset. As I said, we really are here to help you out. And the common mindset that you need to have if you want to do well with SEO is, one, you need to anticipate failure. The next thing is you need to let go and delegate.

You need to learn new skills. Those who stay complacent, aren’t going to succeed in life. You always want to be thriving, and wanting to learn more.

There’s a lot of things that you can learn out there. So some action items for you. There’s a personal goal worksheet.

Handwrite up to 300 words on your personal goal for this program, and how you’ll feel when you achieve it. I know this may sound really silly, and you’re like, Neil, why do I need to do this? We found that when people go through this exercise, and they download the worksheet and they write this down, they’re much more likely to complete it.

And then the next thing I want you to do is to download the program itinerary after you write down your goal. Because at that point, you’ll know what you’re going to end up learning over the next upcoming weeks.

The #1 Biggest SEO Mistake Nearly Everyone Makes | Avoid This At All Costs

by

Nearly everyone who’s trying to compete in SEO makes this mistake. They fail miserably because what they’re doing is nearly impossible to achieve. And yet, most people think that it’s the right approach. Today, I’m going to teach you the number one biggest SEO mistake nearly everyone makes and you should avoid at all costs.

5 Beginner SEO Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Website Traffic And What You Should Do Instead : https://youtu.be/yX20m5mprCE
____________________________________________

We’re in a time where SEO and digital marketing has become more saturated and more competitive than ever. With over a billion websites on the web, SEO is no longer an easy or open playing field.

A lot of times, I see many of these new websites making the same mistake that’ll ultimately give them little to no SEO result and just waste their time. What is it? It’s targeting keywords that are too competitive.

These days, effective keyword research is an increasingly important skill for digital marketers. Not only do they need to know how to develop a good keyword list, but using keyword research to find out what topics they should write about or what phrases they should be using while writing is super important, especially figuring out which ones aren’t competitive.

Nowadays, doing keyword research effectively is a top priority for any website or SEO. If you look up a competitive term, such as car insurance, you’ll likely see some big brands pop up. If you’re a new website, it’s going to be almost nearly impossible to compete with those brands. What’s the answer? Target long-tail keywords.

You’re missing out on a lot of search traffic if you’re not creating blog posts around longer search terms.

For example, let’s say you have a dog food business and you’re trying to break into the dog food online space. Most likely, you want to go after keywords like dogs, dog food, pet food, because that would get a lot of search traffic.

The monthly search volume for dog food is roughly 135,000 searches per month. But the pay difficulty is 100 and the SEO difficulty is 77. That’s incredibly high. Coming in as a new company, there’s very little to no chance that you’re going to rank well unless you have an established brand and high domain authority, which most new companies don’t.

Instead, you want to focus on long-tail keywords, like dog food for allergies or dog food for senior dogs. These keywords have a lower monthly search volume, but higher quality search traffic because they’re more specific and they’re going to convert because they’re more specific.

For example, dog food for allergies has a monthly search volume of 9,900 and a SEO difficulty of 38. That means it’s going to be easier to rank for. If you’re trying to figure out how you can rank for these terms or where to find them, check out Ubersuggest. Type in a head term that you’re thinking about going after, you don’t need to know the long-tail variations, just look at the head terms, type them in, and then go to the keyword ideas report.

It’ll give you all the other longer tail variations and it even breaks down the SEO difficulty. Look for terms that have an SEO difficulty score of 40 or under. Those’ll be easier for you to rank for.

You also want to look for ones that have volume at least in the few thousands per month because the volume doesn’t always mean clicks. And, when you do all of this, it’ll help give you more ideas and more ideas for you to produce content.

There’s also a questions tab on Ubersuggest, prepositions, comparisons. These are also more places where you can find more keyword ideas, more content ideas. That will drive keywords that convert into revenue.

On Ubersuggest, there’s a content ideas report. When you go very specific, it’ll show you all the content that’s already been created around the web-based on social shares, backlinks, and search traffic. It even tells you, when you look at the estimated visits, all the keywords that the article ranks for.

When you’re trying to figure out what keywords you should go after, also look at all the content pieces that have some of those similar keywords because this will give you ideas of what you can create that can help you not only generate traffic from all three, right? You don’t want to just generate traffic from Google.

8 Things To Master in SEO – Do You Know Them?

by

People really overthink and over-complicate SEO. But if I had to break it down to the bare minimum essentials that you need to master in order to get SEO, it wouldn’t be a lot. Today I’m going to break down eight things to master in SEO. Do you know them?

____________________________________________

The first thing I want you to master is studying search results and competitors.

You can use Uber Suggests, you can type in any keyword and we’ll show you not only all the other similar keywords, but I’ll also show you who’s ranking in the top hundred positions. How many social shares they have, how many backlinks they have. How many other phrases that they’re ranking for, heck it even tells you all about their content as well.

The second thing that you need to do is start planning and strategizing.

What are the keywords that you can win versus the ones that are going to be a waste of time? Look, search volume is everything, you need to look at what people are ranking for, and see whether or not that you can replicate those kinds of metrics.

And Uber Suggests, if you look at the keyword ideas report, it tells you how a keyword is. Go after keywords that have an SEO difficulty score of less than 40. Those are easier to rank for.

Uber Suggests will also tell you how many backlinks you need to rank for any given keyword. And that’s integrated within the SEO difficulty score.

The next thing I want to cover is writing.

SEO is all about delivering what people need and doing a better job than anyone else. Writing content is going to be crucial to anyone running an SEO campaign, even if you’re outsourcing it.

The other thing that you need to know is basic HTML.

You’ll need this skill because you need to edit title tags, meta tags, you need to add schema markup like the FAQ schema markup, it’s a great way to get higher rankings. You also need a tracking code on your site like Google Analytics. And then hey, is that traffic converting into conversions, Google Analytics will tell you this. You need to figure out how you can structure your site.

If you don’t know basic HTML, you’re probably going to have to hire a developer.

The next thing you need to learn is analytics.

And remember, SEO is all about providing the best user experience. So you need to look at things like conversion rates per page and channel, bounce rates, time on site, traffic by channel and month over month growth rates. This will all help you determine how you can grow from an SEO standpoint, but from a user experience standpoint as well.

The next one, self-management, SEO is multi-faceted.

If you’re a bit lost, start off with the site audit report within Uber Suggests, because that site audit report will end up breaking down what you should focus your time on first, second, third, fourth, fifth, etc. based on what’s going to have the biggest impact to your ranking.

The next thing you need to do is be willing to constantly learn.

SEO changes rapidly and every day something different can happen to alter your industry, whether it’s Google doing an update, like the medic update, or just a general algorithm change, or hey, you have new competitors who are copying all of your schedules and doing it better than you.

You need to read each and every single day and learn from other people in your industry as well, even if that takes some time out of your day.

Most importantly, you need to write conclusions from your SEO experiments and understand what are the lessons that you can learn from each success and each failure that you have because not everything you’re doing is going to work out.

And last but not least cold outreach.

It’s important to master cold outreach, whether it’s by email, social media, or even phone calls. How do you pique a stranger’s interest and get them to link to you? How do you craft that introduction, that you’re so likable and approachable that people want to converse with you? How do you craft amazing subject lines? How do you persuade other people to take action? These are all skills that you need to master if you want to do well with cold outreach.

How to Win on SEO Without Spending Money – The Penniless Marketer Full Strategy

by

How much does it cost to do SEO? The truth is you don’t need any money. In order to get traffic through SEO, all you need is a bit of sweat equity, invest the time and effort in your business so you can start reaping rewards. Do you want to learn how? Today I’m going to break down how to Win on SEO Without Spending Money, The Penniless Marketer Full Strategy.

Canva – https://www.canva.com/
Cloudflare – https://www.cloudflare.com/
Smush – https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-smushit/
____________________________________________

Step number one, develop a strategy.

So what do you do? Well, yeah, you can go after the competitive keywords and you can include them in your content, but as I mentioned, that shouldn’t be your core focus because you’re not going to for rank them anytime soon.

I also want you to look for keywords that have higher volume because if a keyword has a higher volume, that means you can also potentially get more sales.

And then I want you to look for a keyword that has an SEO difficulty score of under 40 because that means that keyword is going to be easier for you to rank for in the short run.

The second step you need to take is to understand the search intent behind your target keywords.

Generally speaking, when someone is searching for any given keyword, their search falls into one of the following categories.

Navigational. People use this to type the keyword when they’re looking for specific websites they already know.

Transactional. People use transactional keywords when they want to buy something.

Informational. This one people are seeking information for any given topic.

Typically when you’re going after and you’re trying to get sales, you want to try to go after informational keywords or transactional keywords. Those two keywords can generate sales. Transactional will generate them faster. Informational ones won’t be as quick.

The third step is to create a content calendar.

If I were you and I was starting out to push out content, I would start out with something simple like once a week and then go from there. Don’t overwhelm yourself. You can always increase your quantity.

The fourth step before writing each content piece, do thorough research and curation.

How long is their content? How do you make yours more comprehensive? What subtopics are they including in their content? What keywords are constantly appearing? Any videos included in their content? What kind of images are they using to tell their story? What type of data sources are they using? You want to jot all of this down and then start creating your outline from all the rich media that you should include from all the topics that you should cover to all the keywords that you need to cover to all the sources that you’re going to want to use for your research, all the data, stats, and academic papers that you also want to link out to.

For the fifth step, enrich your content with other media types.

I love including videos in my content, infographics, charts, data visualizations. If you don’t have money to pay for a designer, that’s okay.

The sixth step, work on speeding up your website.

Make sure you’re using a CDN like Cloudflare. Heck, you can even do it for free. When you’re on WordPress, you also want to use AMP pages. These AMP pages are great for mobile devices it allows your page to load up super fast. Are you compressing your images? I use a plugin called Smush which works out really well with WordPress to compress images.

The seventh step, use the free SEO tools out there to keep track of your progress and continually improve your website.

From Google Search Console telling you, hey, what should you do to get more traffic? It’ll tell you all the errors that you need to fix. It even tells you webpage load time now and which pages are loading slowly on mobile and desktop so you know what to focus on next.

Step eight, be consistent.

Always stick to your editorial calendar. Publish content around your core strategy. Don’t get caught up in the shiny object syndrome. The strategy is really simple. Just follow everything that I’ve broken down here and you can do well.

Just because something is simple, it doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy. You have to be disciplined at analyzing your work and doubling down on what’s working, right? And I broke this all down so you can do it for free.

5 Dumbest Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make With Their SEO

by

5 Dumbest Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make With Their SEO | Entrepreneurs are great at solving problems and giving life to ideas. But when it comes to SEO, I’ve seen them make some of the biggest mistakes that cost them hundreds, even if not, thousands of dollars and sometimes even millions of dollars. Some of these guys have gone on to create businesses that are succeeded and are big brands and they still continually make these mistakes. Today I’m going to breakdown the five dumbest mistakes entrepreneurs make with their SEO.

5 Beginner SEO Mistakes That Are Ruining Your Website Traffic And What You Should Do Instead : https://youtu.be/yX20m5mprCE
____________________________________________

So let’s dive right into the five biggest mistakes.

Mistake number one. Optimizing for the wrong keywords and trying to rank previously competitive keywords early on.

This is a mistake that a lot of new businesses make early on and its an issue that could be avoided really easily. Because, here’s the thing. If a keyword is super competitive, then chances are you’re not going to rank for it. Or if a keyword won’t convert well, ranking for it isn’t going to drive you any sales. And it’s not hard to solve this problem.

All you have to do is go to Ubersuggest. Type in your competitor URL. Click on Top Pages, it will show you all their top pages and then I want you to click on view all underestimated visits.

This will show you all the keywords that your competition is going after. These keywords are more likely to convert into sales than just picking random keywords.

The next thing I want you to do is to go to Ubersuggest once you have a list of keywords. Type them in and it will give you all these ideas and other comparison words, prepositions and other ideas that you can go after.

But, here’s the thing. When you’re doing this, you can’t just go after any random keyword. You need to look for keywords that have a high CPC because if someone has a, is paying a lot of money to advertise on it, you can bet that it converts highly into sales.

The other thing you need to look for is a low SD. A low SD stands for SEO difficulty. So the lower the numbers such a 40’s, 30’s, or 20’s is great. The moment you get above 50 for e-site just going to be harder to write. Look for those two things, plus high volume. So the higher the volume, the higher the CPC and the lower the SD or SEO difficulty, the better that keyword is. Those are the ones you want to go after. And when you do that, you’re more likely to get some sales.

The second biggest mistake that I see people making is their not using analytics or running regular website audits.

This is one of the big mistakes that companies make all the time.

What you need to do is look at the core metrics that are driving your sales and focus on them. And, in addition to that, you need to be running regular site audits. And you can also do this within the site audit report within Ubersuggest for free. It will tell you what’s wrong and as you fix them, you should notice more conversions and sales within your analytics.

The third big mistake. Overlooking page titles and meta descriptions.

Look, if one site ranks number one Google and another site ranks number two but everyone starts clicking the number two listing what do you think that tells Google?

So think about the copy. Persuasive copy. Start looking at the paid ads. Typically, the people at the top aren’t just paying the most but they’re getting a lot of clicks because that helps Google make a lot more money and that will help you do well.

The fourth big mistake. Not using anchor tags properly.

If you’re going after a keyword like online marketing all your anchor tags shouldn’t say online marketing when other sites link to you. It needs to be natural. Sometimes I’m writing a blog post and I’m linking to my posts on SEO and I’ll say, Hey, if you want to rank higher in Google, follow these tips. You’ll notice that I didn’t use the word SEO right there.

And sometimes, when I am talking about SEO, I’m linking to my SEO article, I’ll say, Hey, you need to check out these SEO tips. And I’ll link the word SEO tips to that article.

The fifth mistake. Building content for algorithms and not your audience.

It’s not about your word count. It’s not about stuffing keywords in your article. It’s about doing what’s best for a user. And if you write content for them, in the long run, you’ll do really well.

My 7 Favorite Free SEO Tools to Get Page 1 Rankings on Google

by

My 7 Favorite Free SEO Tools to Get Page #1 Rankings on Google | SEO takes too much time to do it manually, and if you unautomate a big chunk of your SEO work, you don’t need to break the bank to do it. Over the last sixteen years of being a SEO, I figured out the right tools to use to help you rank number one on Google. Today, I’m going to share my seven favorite free SEO tools that’ll help you get on page one of Google.

RESOURCES & LINKS:

Ubersuggest Keyword Ideas – https://neilpatel.com/ubersuggest/
____________________________________________

Now, before I dive into the tools, I’m going to break down them into three main categories. They’re going to be keyword research, then I’m going to go into link building, and then technical SEO.

So the tools will fit into one of those three categories. So let’s first start with keyword research.

The first tool I have for you is FAQ Fox. Most people think only as keywords instead of thinking of problem.

When someone’s looking for a new phone, chances are they’re not satisfied with their old phone. When someone’s looking up a math equation, chances are they don’t know the solution, hence, they’re looking it up.

FAQ Fox finds you questions that people want to be answered based on specific site that you want information from.

The second tool that I have for you is Ubersuggest Keyword Ideas. Ubersuggest has recently expanded its database from being a simple keyword tool where it has just basic terms, seed terms like marketing, to now over 1.2 million suggestions per keyword.

My favorite feature within the Keyword Ideas Report is the Comparisons Report, and the reason being is it’ll give you all the keywords that are comparison-based.

Typically, when someone’s searching for comparison-based keywords such as “Mailchimp versus ConvertKit,” they’ve already determined that they’re going to make a purchase.

The question is, what solution are they going to make?

Now, with Ubersuggest, it also shows you the search volume, the paid difficulty, the organic difficulty, and it even shows you all the other sites that are ranking, as well as how many backlinks they have, as well as social shares.

The second category of tools I have for you are related to link building. One of my favorite tools out there is a MozBar.

So the more authority that these sites have, and the more relevant they are, and when they link to you, it’s going to do way better than, let’s say, if Joe the Plumber linked to you.

See, with the MozBar, whenever you visit any website, it’ll tell you their domain authority and their page authority. It’s great to know which sites you should be focusing on when it comes to your link building versus which sites you need to ignore because it’s just not worth the time and effort.

The next tool I have for you is Backlinks by Ubersuggest. It’s another great tool!

All you have to do is go to Ubersuggest, type in a URL, click on the Backlinks button in the left navigation. When you do that, you’ll see the Backlinks Report. It’ll tell you the domain score of the site. It’ll tell you the authority of all the URLs linking to that site. It’ll even tell you the anchor text, the link growth over time, how many new links are getting over each and every single day, and how many links are losing each and every single day.

You’ll even see anchor text. You’ll even see things like how many no follow links a website has versus do follow, when these links first came to that site, when they link out. You’ll see when the link is also lost, the exact date.

Now, what I mainly use the Ubersuggest Backlinks Report for is typing in my competitor URLs, seeing what pages on their site are popular, what’s getting the most links, and I typically start from there.

The third category of tools I have for you are related to technical SEO. So let’s start with the Panguin Tool.

The next tool I have for you is Structured Data Markup Helper.

Look, if you want to maximize your voice traffics, over 50% of the searches now are voice-based, this will help. If you want things like rich snippets,if you want those star ratings, you need Structure Markup.

So, tool number one. You ready for this? Google Search Console.

Here’s what I love Google Search Console for. I do a comparison of my traffic right now, for the last 30 days, to my traffic six months ago. And I look for the pages that have the biggest drop off in impressions and clicks. I now know that these are the pages that I need to go back on my site, go and adjust and update.

You may add some videos if you think that helps improve the experience. You delete the stuff that doesn’t make sense. You shorn out the fluff, because sometimes, you may have just long articles because you were trying keyword stuff.

The second tool I have for you is Structured Data Markup Helper. Look, if you want those star ratings on your site, you want to be included in the rich snippets, you want your listing to stand out, you got to use structured data.

But how do you use structured data? Well, it’s complicated because depending on the type of website you have, the structured data is going to look different.

So that way, when someone’s doing a search on Google, they can see all those little breadcrumbs, and that helps increase your click-through rate.

The third tool I have for you, Google Trends. This is super important. The reason being is if your brand continually gets searched more and more, you’ll notice that your rankings increase. So, it’s all about brand building. And you’ll find, “Hey, Neil, “why do I need to increase my brand?” Well, Google, Facebook, and all the social sites out there have issues of fake news.

And Google Trends shows you that.

Now, last but not least, another free tool, Ubersuggest. If you want to do SEO, Ubersuggest has the features of Moz, SEMrush, Ahrefs, pretty much the majority 80 plus percent of their features for free.

So, if you want to site audit, well there’s an SEO audit report in Ubersuggest that breaks down your load time, your title tags, your meta description, your code errors, your URL issues, your redirect issues.

And it tells you how to fix each of them. And it breaks down in priority on which ones you should change first to get the maximum amount of traffic. You’re looking for more keywords to go after? Ubersuggest also has a keyword ideas report.

And the keyword ideas report shows you all the keywords that you can go after. According to Jumpshot, roughly 49% of the searches that happen on Google get no clicks. Well, with Ubersuggest, they’ll show you keywords that are based on questions, comparisons, prepositions.

These are all high intent keywords. So if you after them in your copy, you’ll find that you’ll get more clicks, more traffic, and those visitors that are aligning on your site will convert because you’re not just going after generic keywords now. There’s also backlinks report.

You can put in any URL of your competitor or your site. Shows you who links to them. And then you can hit up all those people, assume you put in a competitor URL, and ask them to link back to your site if your content’s better.

This will give you an idea of the type of content you should produce versus the type of content you shouldn’t produce.

And, of course, last but not least, there’s a traffic analyzer report that shows you how much traffic your competitors are getting versus you. So you have a rough comparison of what you need to do to improve your traffic.

SEO For Beginners: 3 Powerful SEO Tips to Rank #1 on Google in 2020

Are you new to SEO and want to rank #1 on google this upcoming year? Here are 3 SEO strategies that will boost your rankings!

#1: Focus on content
Google has this update called Hummingbird, and with Hummingbird, websites who just have content on everything won’t do as well as sites which focus on one single niche and are super thorough.

You want to be VERY thorough with your SEO content. Poke holes in your content and fill them all up, so then that way people are like, “This is the end all site “that you should end up reading “if you’re interested in dating online.”

#2: Optimize your title tag and your meta description
Have you ever done a Google search, and noticed that every time you do it, there is this link at the top, and then there’s this one sentence with a link at the top is called the title tag.

And the description below is called the meta description.

Now think of it this way, if you search for the phrase online dating, and you don’t see the word online dating in neither the title or the description, are you going to click on the result?

Well if you are, there’s something wrong, because why would you click on a result that isn’t related to what you’re looking for?

In addition to that, have you ever searched for a term like online dating? And have you ever noticed that the word isn’t in the title or description?

That’s because Google tracks who’s clicking on what listing, and they’ve learned that when a keyword is in the listing, that same keyword that you’re searching for, they know you’re way more likely to click through.

So in your title tag and your meta description, make sure you include the keyword. But you can’t just add the keyword, “online dating,” right?

The easiest way and what I would do and I wish it was this simple; I will just put “online dating, online dating, online dating, online dating.”

If I could put it 20 times so people would know that the article is on online dating, I wish I would get more clicks.

But it’s not that simple.

Yes you have to include the keyword in your title and your description, but it has to be appealing. If it doesn’t flow in a sentence, it’s not easy to read, and it’s not appealing or evoking curiosity, no one is gonna click through.

#3: Use Google Search Console

Did you know that Google gives you a tool that teaches you how to rank number one on Google?

Yes I know that sounds ridiculous but it is true, and it’s called Google Search Console.

If you’re not already a user of it, sign up.

It doesn’t cost a dollar. You’re missing out if you’re not using it.

I can’t emphasize that enough. So now that you’re using Google Search Console…give it a few days because it takes some time to populate data. You’ll see a screen that shows Search Analytics and this shows you all the pages on your website that are getting you traffic. But the cool thing about Google Search Console is they also show you which articles are getting impressions.

Take all the keywords you’re getting impressions for and start adding them to your copy.

Now we have an article on Instagram, and it teaches you how to get over 300 targeted Instagram followers per day.

The article is around 10,000 words. When I first wrote that article, it wasn’t 10,000 words, it was roughly 2,500.

I went to Google Search Console, I saw all the people that are searching for terms related to the article, I added them within that article. I made it more thorough and you know what?

My SEO traffic more than tripled to that article. Yes it is that simple. And when I made that change, it didn’t happen right away, but I noticed the results within 50 days. That’s not a long time.

Now that you’ve learned these three tips, I challenge you in which I want you to take these tactics and implement them, and then after you implement them, in the next 45 days I want you to leave a comment with your results. Because if you’re not doing well, that means I’m not happy.
