Do you ever struggle when writing your long-form content? I do ๐Ÿ‘‹

When I hit a wall, I will either use an AI tool like Chat GPT to give me some fresh ideas or I will watch some videos on the topic.

This usually gets me back on track, but if you still need that extra push try adding frequently asked questions to your blog. 

Adding some relevant questions will increase โฌ†๏ธ your word count + you have the opportunity to add more keyword rich text.

Here is quick look ๐Ÿ‘€ at a personal injury law firm out of Edmonton, Alberta.

This website is at the top of the 2nd page of Google for โ€œPersonal Injury Lawyer Edmontonโ€.

I would say they are doing an okay job with their On-page SEO, but some changes can be made.

- I would first see how many referring domains the top competitors have, as they will need a similar amount.

-Update the copy to the proper word count, find a way to make it more valuable, and add some new sections or images to break up the copy.

- Swap out the hero image of the CN Tower to something Edmonton related so no potential customers get confused ๐Ÿซค.

- Add some frequently asked questions and add more keyword rich text.

Ranking for extremely broad keywords is very difficult to do, and thatโ€™s why people go after long-tail keywords.

For example, if you were the owner of a restaurant you wouldnโ€™t want to try and rank for the term โ€œbest restaurantโ€. You would be competing with everyone and would require a lot of resources.

Instead, it would be easier to rank for a long-tail keyword such โ€œbest pizza restaurant NYCโ€ or you could go a step further with โ€œbest-deep-dish-pizza-restaurant-NYCโ€ ๐Ÿ—ฝ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ™๏ธ

The best spot to be for keywords is somewhere in the middle where there is lower keyword difficulty + higher search volume.
Your page titles and meta descriptions should use a specific amount if characters.

Page Titles: 50-60

Meta Descriptions: 150-160

If you donโ€™t have access to SEO tools or plugins, use this.

Quick SEO Review for Elders Coffee Co.  @elderscoffee

If I were to start ranking this website higher on Google, here is what I would do.

-

๐Ÿ”บ Add more content to the homepage! More information on the brand, coffee, etc.

๐Ÿ”บ On-page SEO for all pages and products.

๐Ÿ”บMake sure there is proper search intent for the products. If this is off, people will have a hard time finding you.

๐Ÿ”บ Start a coffee blog but take a unique approach ๐Ÿค”. I would also look for low-difficulty, high-volume keywords.

This is something I just learned.. 

๐Ÿฆˆ 30,000 + comments on a WordPress website that needed to be deleted, and was I not doing this manually for hundreds of pages.

๐Ÿฆˆ I tried a plugin to help, but that only cleared around 1,000.

The Fix ๐Ÿงฐ

๐Ÿฆˆ You can change the number of page items in the back end of WordPress to from whatever default # to 999 in the screen options.

The number of times to delete pages dropped โฌ‡๏ธ from 629 to 32.
This is the feeling of hitting page 1, position 1 on Google.

If you want to be just as happy ๐Ÿ˜ƒ as the guy above with your Google rankings, send me a DM and  I will take a look at your website.
