Here is a free keyword research tool you can use to improve the search engine optimization on your website. 

If you want to look something up quickly, or donโ€™t want to pay for an expensive SEO tool, this will work.

I got this sent to me through a newsletter, so I figured I would share it as well.

The keyword data comes from SEM Rush, so it is fairly accurate.

Under the KD% column you want to look for keywords that have a lower number with a green circle.

Sadly โ˜น๏ธ a few paragraphs of text will not cut it. 

If you want to compete in SEO you have to play at the same level everyone else is on the first page.

If the top 3 competitors on Google for your target ๐ŸŽฏ keyword have 4,700 words on the topic.. Guess how much you have to write.

If you were planning to write a blog today, type in the keyword to Google you would like to rank for, and then look at all the pages top performing pages.

Get a rough estimate of the total word count on each page and that is where you need to begin .

You do not need any type of degree to start working in Search Engine Optimization. 

โžก๏ธ I didn't have a clue what SEO was when I first got into it, but I went down the rabbit hole and kept going.

โžก๏ธ My first experience with SEO was trying to do affiliate sales on Amazon by writing about hiking boots and camping gear.

now, the rest is history!

โžก๏ธ I have worked at multiple different agencies in Vancouver and the United States, and doing different SEO roles at each.

A lot of websites got deindexed for creating spammy AI content ๐Ÿค– this past week.

You just canโ€™t tell Chat GPT to whip up a 3,000 word article and place it directly on your website!

The content still needs to be researched, outlined, written, and edited. You can get AI to assist with some of the steps, but it canโ€™t do it all.

My research and writing โœ๏ธ hasnโ€™t changed much in the past few years, and I have been using one AI tool  the entire time.

It is only used for outlines, and the rest is done by me ๐Ÿ™‚

How much AI do you use in your content production process?

By creating more semantic webpages on your website, Google will have an easier time identifying the sections and what is there. 

Google is more likely to pay attention to a main section (<main>) and an article tag (<article>) compared to a plain old div (<div>).

And if there was high-quality and very helpful content within that article tag, Google cpuld potentially rank that higher on the search engine results page ๐Ÿ“ˆ.

If you make the sections in your HTML, more semantic, Google will have an easier time understanding what is on your page.

Instead of having divs <div> from top to bottom on your webpages we can make things a little more clear and understandable.

Try adding some of these elements instead of just using divs.

<header> 

<footer>

<nav>

<section>

<main>

<article>

Make sure you are going to the backend of your WordPress website and updating the plug-ins at least once per week. ๐Ÿ“…

If you do not, your website will break or get messed up with some malware.

This literally takes two minutes to do and can save you some major headaches and money. ๐Ÿคฏ ๐Ÿ’ต 

if you have not recently updated your WordPress plug-ins, this can be your reminder. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
