This is something I just learned..
๐ฆ 30,000 + comments on a WordPress website that needed to be deleted, and was I not doing this manually for hundreds of pages.
๐ฆ I tried a plugin to help, but that only cleared around 1,000.
The Fix ๐งฐ
๐ฆ 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 ๐ as the guy above with your Google rankings, send me a DM and I will take a look at your website.

The website has a DR of 1, ranks for 58 keywords, and has 52 backlinks.
Hereโs how I would improve the rankings:

๐ช Choose proper keywords so the copy can be updated and more service pages can be created.
๐ช On-page optimizations for all of the pages. Page titles, meta descriptions, etc.
๐ช Add/ update the Google Business profile.

If you are ranking on the bottom of page 1 or the top of page 2, this could be very helpful for you!
Take the URL from the top competitor in your city & industry and put in into the Ahrefs backlink checker (๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ://๐๐๐ง๐๐๐จ.๐๐ค๐ข/๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐ฃ๐ -๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ง).
This will show you how many backlinks they have and their DR. You do not get to see them all but a good amount.
Compare this list with your own backlink profile and try to obtain as many of the links you can.
Do this and your website will start to show up higher on Google ๐๐

This is something I recently learned myself.
If you are working inside of Elementor on WordPress, you do not have to use a Chrome Extension or the dev tools to find out the hex code of a colour.
This method will give you multiple colour options instead of one, and you are able to preview the change.
๐๐ผ๐ ๐ง๐ผ ๐๐ผ ๐ง๐ต๐ถ๐:
- Click on the section or element you want to change, and then go to colour under the style options.
-From colour, click on the colour sampler (eye dropper) in the right hand corner.
-Hover over any section on the page and choose a colour you like. This will give you multiple options and the. Hex codes.

๐This js a part of Local Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and when done correctly, you can get your business shown in the listings and the map.
๐For this to happen you need to optimize specific landing pages, your business profile, and have reviews.
๐If you are one of the few business in the map pack, there is a very high click through rate (44%) making it more likely for you to get more visitors + customers.

Get keywords to rank for from any large website! I used Elementor jn my example but any niche can be used (fashion, automotive, fitness, gaming, or health).
โช๏ธ Take the website URL and put it into a tool like Ahrefs or SEM Rush, and view all of the organic keywords.
โช๏ธYou want the easier keywords to rank for so set the keyword difficulty (KD) from 0 to 30.
The KD can also be set lower to 15 or 10 if you have a brand new website.
โช๏ธOnce the KD range has been set, add keyword modifiers to narrow down your search ๐.
Use terms like how, what, when, why, vs, best, and you will have terms that you can create content around.
โช๏ธFinally, sort the keywords by search volume and you will have a huge list of search terms with a low KD and high search volume.

Here is how to get your new website ranking on Google.
-Optimize all of your webpages. This means your URL, page title, meta description, heading tags, image files, alt text. Also make sure there is enough copy on the page for your target keyword.
-Index all of your pages in Google Search Console (GSC). Itโs quick to do and is pretty much a copy + paste process.
-To be sure they are indexed, use the site operator in the Google search bar ๐จ๐๐ฉ๐:๐๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐จ://๐ฌ๐๐๐จ๐๐ฉ๐.๐๐ค๐ข and this will bring up all of your indexed pages.
-Next start bloggingโฆ not 300-400 words but 1,000 to 3,000 + words.
-These should be fully researched, images, videos, table of contents, internal and external links. If you can do two of these a week you will out preform all of your local competitors.
-Make sure to index your blogs like of your other pages.
๐ฅSomething Extra๐ฅ Add schema or structured data to all of your main pages. This is extra information for Google that tells more of who you are and what you do.
-Go to a website like Bright Local and get business citations. This will cost about ๐ฒ150 CAD and your website will be listed on all of the main directories. You should have a Google Business Profile before doing this.
-Start getting links to a page or two to start getting some Domain Authority. There are a number of ways to do this (guest posts, placements, HARO, manual outreach, linkable assets, etc).
-Give this process some time and track your website in Google Search Console and a SEO tool like SEM Rush or Ahrefs.
-Be patient and your site will start to grow on the SERPs.
