🚀 In this post, you’ll learn the exact steps I took to increase the traffic of a website in only 3 months by improving basic SEO and Some General Backlinks! 💥
🔍 The site was getting around 500 organic clicks from Google per month.
Site Audit
📌 I began by conducting a thorough site audit, which served as my initial step. My next task was to identify potential keywords that the site was ranking for on Google, specifically in positions ranging from 8 to 25. During this process, I discovered some incredibly valuable keywords that were highly relevant. However, I noticed that these keywords were not incorporated within the content of the pages themselves. 😲
Inserting Keywords and on-page Optimization
📌 After adding new potential keywords, I reviewed all the SEO titles and meta descriptions, making updates where necessary. This included incorporating years, and emojis, and making other basic changes. 📈
📌 Using the main keyword and its variants in H1 and other headings signals to Google what you are offering (Don’t overdo it like people used to do it 5 years back)
💡 Here I will tweak the example of KW “Plumbers in Los Angeles“
Variations: Los Angeles Plumbing Service, LA Plumbers
🏆 H1: Trusted Plumbers in Los Angeles for Top-Notch Services
✨ H2: Your Reliable Choice for Los Angeles Plumbing Services
✨ H2: LA Plumbers Ready to Tackle Your Toughest Plumbing Issues
Backlink Building – General Links
🌐 After on the page, I started creating backlinks, and here is the twist, by backlinks, you might think I bought some expensive guest posts OR niche edits but that’s not the route I took…
📌 For this particular site, my focus was to acquire General Backlinks that you can get from different sources by putting in a little effort. These links are usually not highly relevant but help a lot as it creates diversity.
👉 You can place the link of your site on different sites and directories by asking questions in a legit way, no spamming coz they will remove spam links when you try adding links without any relevancy.
👉 You can put your website link, let’s say on some Microsoft forum by asking some relevant questions – could be anything relevant. The sky is the limit! ☁️
👉 With general links, I found some relevant forums and created almost 50 links on different threads.
📌 You can find relevant forums easily by searching your KW + Forum. For Example “Plumbing Forums” OR “Roofing Forums”.
💪 Forum links are highly effective for many local businesses as it creates authority for the site and helps in search engine rankings. 📊
So by implementing these simple steps, I was able to grow the traffic of the site as you can see in the Google Search Console screenshot.
