The Best 8 Steps SEO Strategies for Higher Rankings website

Introduction:

The best 8 top step SEO strategies step by step. In fact, these are the exact strategies that we used to rank on search engines. This Article is not going to be a bunch of high-level fluff. Instead, everything I guide you with is super tactical and actionable.

Step #1

Finding an Opportunity Keywords

An opportunity keyword is like a regular keyword but better. You probably noticed that Google's first page is packed with more stuff than ever before. We focus almost 100% on opportunity keywords.

So, what are the opportunity keywords?

Opportunity Keywords are keywords with a high organic click-through-rate (CTR).

Consider going for an opportunity keyword that's going to give more clicks.

Step #2

Analyzing the Content Competitions

Well, most people whip open WordPress and start writing. But that's a huge mistake. In fact, that's what I used to do back in the day. I do write something that I think would rank on google. Now I know better, I analyze the first page results to see what's already working. In other words, my content competition and once I figure out the type of content that Google wants to see for the keyword, then I start creating content.

Step #3

Creating Content That's - Different Or More genuine

When it comes to creating content for SEO, you have two main options.

Content For SEO Option #1 You can create something different. Option #2 You can create something more helpful.

Most of the time you want to publish something that's just way better than what's already out there. But sometimes it makes more sense to create something unique. For example, a few months ago I found the opportunity keyword Hire Magento Developer, and when I looked at the content competition.

Step #4

Adding Your Hook (Page backlinks)

This is an advanced SEO strategy, so if you're new to SEO, you might want to skip this step. With that out of the way, here's how it works. You already know that in general, pages with the most backlinks rank highest in Google. But how do you get people to link to you? Here's a simple two-step process.

How To Get Backlinks:

Step # 1 Figure out why people link to the content in your industry. (AKA "The HOOK") Step # 2 Include that "HOOK" in your content.

When you create something new, you have got yourself a hook. In fact, when you publish a massive guide, your guide itself is the hook.

Step #5

Optimize Your Sites - On-Page SEO Strategy

There's a lot that goes into optimizing your content for SEO, So instead of covering every single SEO technique on the planet, I am gonna focus on two strategies that are working well right now.

The strategy is to use short URLs. I analyzed a million Google results, I found a clear correlation between short URLs and higher Google rankings. So if you are URLs tend to be super long, cut then down so they are nice and short.

Now to be clear, I don't recommend going back and changing your existing URLs because that can do more harm than good. Instead, just make your new URLs short and sweet.

Next up we have internal linking. Internal links still work, but you have to do it right. Specifically, you wanna link from high authority pages on your site to pages that you wanna rank. Those internal links will send authority to the pages that you wanna rank, which can give them a nice rankings boost.

Step #6

The Skyscraper Technique 2.0

You might have already heard of the skyscraper technique. A content marketing and SEO approach that went viral a few years ago. Now the original skyscraper technique is pretty cool but it doesn't cover something super important for ranking in Google today. Search intent is what a Google searcher is looking for and the better your content matches their intent the higher you will rank.

Step #7

Content Design Strategy

In my experience, your content's design can make or break your SEO. Imagine that you just wrote the best post ever written, but it looks like it is not structured. Well, no one in their right mind is gonna link to that page, and Google searchers that see an ugly page like that, are gonna bounce back to the search results. That's why I spend a lot of time, money and energy on content design.

Step #8

Build Backlinks Technique

A piece of content that has a hook and its also optimized for search intent. So, what's next? Its time to build links to that page. Here's how First use something called the content roadshow. This strategy is all about getting your content in front of the right people. Who are the right people? People that run blogs in your industry. With that, here's exactly how the content roadshow works.

Next, you wanna use broken link building. This strategy is pretty simple. First, find a broken link on someone's website, then pitch your content as a replacement for the dead link.
