The Ultimate SEO Checklist: A Comprehensive Guide for Success

Of all the industry terminology that exists, Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is one of the most confusing and misunderstood. People have never been more desperate for information about SEO; and yet, only a few people have a clear understanding of what it entails. Here is an overview of the SEO Processes  we implement at Webmantra that might help you understand the entire procedure better:

 

1. Website Audit

Imagine you own some property and want to know what the value is so you can sell it, lease it, borrow against it, insure it or protect your assets. The first step is to get a professional inspector who will come out and inspect the property. We do the same thing when we are looking at a website. We call this SEO process Website Audit where we analyze all of the on-page factors that could affect SEO rankings such as links, title tags, meta descriptions, keyword research, and more.

 

2. Industry Understanding 

Industry understanding for SEO is a relatively new concept for search engine optimization agencies that has been gaining popularity in recent years. There are two main reasons why it is becoming so popular among SEOs: firstly, it helps to build and maintain an online presence that reflects a brand’s or website’s true identity rather than just their online marketing efforts; secondly, it is critical to maintain and continuously improve your efficiency when navigating an industry.

 

3. Competitor Analysis 

If you are looking to rank your site higher in Google, competitor analysis is a great place to start. It allows you to see what keywords other webmasters are targeting and helps determine where your competitors might be vulnerable. With this information, you can then seize these opportunities with SEO.

 

4. Keyword Analysis and Mapping 

Keyword analysis and mapping for SEO is a method by which the search engine optimization agencies find the individual keyword terms that make up a website or web page’s content. Keyword mapping aims to discover the number of keywords and their location on the site. Analysts use this information to create optimal keyword targets and plan content changes.

6. On-Page SEO

On Page SEO is a term used to describe SEO Processes that are applied directly on the web page, usually in the HTML or HTML Head section, to improve a website's rankings in Google search engine results.

 

It is an umbrella term for a number of sub-categories which include:

One of the most overlooked aspects in SEO is ensuring that you are using the correct meta tags on your site. Meta tags are hidden strings of code that list information about your sites, such as a description, keywords, and author. 

Many times, people will type a little green heading (a header tag) with their text. This is what you put at the top of a web page to tell the reader where they are in the document: editing options, contact information, copyright information, or keywords used within this document. 

Canonical tags are HTML tags used to specify which web page is the original one. Typically, if a page has been copied from another website, then it is given an external link rather than an internal link. 

It is an SEO process in which an organic search engine or website results in keyword rankings for its own term rather than the desired keyword that users have searched for.

Internal links are one of the most important SEO ranking factors and they are also used to make your website more user-friendly. Simply put, when you create a link that points to a web page on the same site, it is considered an internal link.

External links are hyperlinks that are either to other web pages that can be accessed separately from the page they're linked to, or to other places on the same site.  Almost all modern browsers have a feature called "open in new tab" that makes it possible for users to open these links in tabs outside of the current window. 

URL Optimization is an SEO process of analyzing links on a website and deducing some information about how many clicks they might get. URL Optimization can be used to track down bad links, find where traffic is going, and find opportunities for more traffic. 

Websites are often indexed by search engines and directories. To ensure that your website is accessible to search engine crawlers, it needs to be validated periodically. This requires you to submit a sitemap and robots.txt file to the rules of the indexing websites you want your site listed in.

Schema markup, or schema.org, is a set of markup classes that signify information that has a certain meaning within the context of a given website. With schema markup in place, search engines can provide better results in response to natural language queries.

Broken Links are a simple script that highlights all external links on a given website and checks them to see if they still work. Broken Links will save you hours of frustration when trying to debug a broken link. 

Page loading speed refers to the time it takes for a webpage to fully load, measured in seconds. A website’s page loading speed is one of the most critical factors in determining how quickly it converts visitors into customers and can have a major impact on a company's ROI.
