      Looks great, love the domain.

      1. You need to have answers to these questions(intent searches) on your website.
        These will help you acquire relevant users and increase your website's worth on Google.

      https://communitydata.uuki.live/images/10744/4644/94gmQPkyu1YybbK0VGZ7m6rhXonJSh1z.png

      1. If possible setup CNAME on substack to a sub-domain on your website, right now you are providing backlinks to substack as all articles are hosted there

      2. Use Quora to drive traffic by asking, answering questions and finding relevant intent searches. Quora ranks higher due to high DA till you can compete with it.
        ex.

    @ndelvalle and I are working on Listas (listas.io). We are happy with the current set of features. I'd say it's more than just an MVP even. But we struggle with how to make the landing page more appealing. Coding is our strong side, not marketing 😅

    So any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    The main question we have is if we really need a video to explain the product or "just" text could be enough?

    Hey @anksncode!

    We plan on shifting our focus to doing more SEO this year, starting with writing a couple of blog posts. Interested in hearing your thoughts.

    https://simpletour.io/

    1. 2

      The landing page and the demo looks great.

      SEO checklist
      -Launch on PH and other startup platform for backlinks

      For blog ideas and articles

    We are doing some SEO stuff but would love to get a recommendation or two.
    Our website: https://merge.rocks

    1. 1

      Site looks cool. I just checked it out saw your blog post and case studies that you have shared. It is good start, I would want to know who is your TG?

      1. 1

        Thanks!
        We are focusing on fintech, SaaS and mobile startups for now.

    Hello Ankur! Thanks for helping out!

    Mine is https://ballroomtracker.app/, and I'm struggling to identify the best way to reach the Ballroom dancer / fitness niche and how to optimize my SEO for it.

    1. 3

      Ballroom dancer is super niche keyword, it would very difficult to drive result using SEO, you can piggyback on keyword for fitness tracker and dance tracker.
      As the app is mobile only, better to focus on ASO at first(add the keywords to the description on the store) around fitness, dance and other long tail keywords.

      Adding the suggestion for keywords around dance and fitness for ASO(need to confirm the keyword difficult for each using some ASO tool).

      https://community.uuki.live/c/tdb3Vsl1/post/suggestions-for-keywords-around-fitness-and-dance

      Do reach out to me twitter if you have any more questions.

    Hi Ankur!

    I'm building https://www.page2api.com (A Web Scraping API)
    Currently, I'm doing SEO through the blog, where I'm posting about how to use the API to solve particular problems.

    Any feedback would be appreciated!

    1. 2

      The SEO is showing good promise and progress with both the pages you created for different crawler and the blog post.

      The DR/DA is pretty low,
      -Try posting new pages or blogs created with different hastags on twitter and other social media platform to get social signals to improve DR/DA
      -Launch on platform for startup launch to get a backlinks(saw that you already launched on PH and betalist)

      • Post on Job sites to get free backlinks
        -Get $99-$199 one time fee PR done if that is within your budget
      • Please avoid using numbers in the domain in the future.

      Do reach out to twitter if you have more questions
      https://twitter.com/ankur_maker

    1. 2

      Suggested URL structure is illustrations.to/category-name/illustration-name, follow the format if possible. You can continue with the current structure if you think 'download' helps you ranking higher for long tail keyword like 'download finance illustrations'

      Suggested names for category based on search volumes
      https://communitydata.uuki.live/images/10744/4644/eUcahbHONDgTP78vZCYqK0JItCOXqQR7.png

      Try to be consistent with the blog and replicate the articles created by the competitor.(I would need more information in the direction and positioning to suggest specific websites)

      Reach out to me on twitter to discuss this further.
      https://twitter.com/ankur_maker

  7. 2

    Wondering if you consider blogs as well. If you do: www.ajyl.online. Thanks in advance.

      1. 1

        Title and description should tell the search engine and the end user about the theme of blog and if possible do add relevant keywords.

        https://www.ajyl.online/continuing-thoughts-about-negotiations-in-job-hunts

        The title should be more tactical like 'how to negotiate job offer ' with its variation as it has more than 20k-25k searches per month.

        Use a tool like SEO to research before deciding on that topic.

        1. 1

          Got it. Just got around to checking IH today. Will do this. Any recommendations for SEO tools?

  8. 2

    Thanks for doing this Ankur! My landing page is https://pricewell.io we help anyone integrate Stripe subscriptions into their website in minutes.

    1. 1

      Happy to help out.
      Let me focus on one of your pages https://www.pricewell.io/vs-stripe-checkout/
      Search engine will interpret this as 'pricewell vs stripe checkout' and you will rank well for this long tail but the volume is low and you would miss out on users searching for "stripe checkout alternative".

      A better strategy would be create the url structure for "vs or alternative" page as https://www.pricewell.io/stripe-checkout-alternatives/

      As your current DR/DA is low it is better to piggyback on already ranking pages, list on these sites and suggest your product as an alternative
      For ex.
      https://www.producthunt.com/alternatives/stripe-checkout
      https://www.g2.com/products/stripe-stripe-payments/competitors/alternatives

      Title, description and H1 tag is important and should showcase your value against your competition.

      Same for keywords like chargebee alternative and so on and so forth.

      Some good progress on the blog section, happy to suggest some ideas and provide some feedback. Do reach out to me @
      https://twitter.com/ankur_maker

    I created ListoPost to try to help people find lists of things and also get their work found.

    I'd like pages like this to have better SEO: https://www.listopost.com/lists/search-engine-optimization-seo-tools

    Thank you for your advice.

    1. 1

      Seo checklist
      -Change the url from https://www.listopost.com/lists/search-engine-optimization-seo-tools/posts/196 to https://www.listopost.com/lists/search-engine-optimization-seo-tools/posts/"post-title"
      -Launch on Startup launch platforms
      -Regular posting on social media with site links and relevant hashtags
      -You need more content per post to increase your value of your content for google, work on adding that automatically or asking users to fill in the details.

    Would love some feedback. Impacteral helps measure the effectiveness of sales assets like slide decks, product demos, and other collateral.

      It appears to be mid-market to enterprise focused product. May I know the current direct and indirect competitors you have?

  29. 1

    jobcull.com

    Do I even need SEO if I'm already at the top of Google when searching for my name?

    1. 1

      You wouldn't if you had a brand name like Facebook, for everyone else ranking for intent based keyword makes sense.

  30. 1

    hi! our landing page is https://glowdexapp.com . would really appreciate your help!

    1. 1

      Sure, We need some content of your product or a free tool(demo of the product or something related) that can be accessed without the login for search engine to crawl the pages.

      The optimum structure of the blog is "domain-name/blog/heading-of-the-page"
      Current structure is https://blog.glowdexapp.com/?p=5,
      I understand that you have used sub-domain because you use Wordpress to host the blog, but we need to replace the parameter "?p=5," with the heading/title of the blog post.

      This can be a good starting point, a launch of PH or other startup platform can help with DR/DA (domain rating/domain authority).

      Do reach out to me on twitter for any further question.

    Mine's a bit tough; it's a web comic newsletter: https://funnies.page. Everything is image-based (no words).

    Btw thanks so much for doing this. Your replies to the other posts have been great.

    1. 1

      Even image based pages can get traffic using image search by focusing on alt tag but you would need to showcase some content without login/subscription which will allow the search engine to crawl.
      Google does not crawl behind a login or subscription page.

  32. 1

    Would love some feedback on this landing page http://cloudmaison.com/

    thanks a mil!

    1. 1

      Basic checklist to do before launch.
      -Move to HTTPS
      -Multi page website > Single pager

      Which product/solution do you plan to replace?

    Thank you for doing this 💖!

    Our website is https://www.OrgPad.com. We create an interactive whiteboard app. We see it as an universal app for work or support for your brain.

    We would like to update landing page in the near future.

    1. 2

      Sure. Looks like a great utility tool.

      SEO checklist

      -H1 TAG is missing(Basically the heading of the page)

      Do checkout webflow to create a new landing page, use seo tool like href to track progress.

      1. 1

        Thanks a lot for great suggestions! This helps a lot! I'll use it.

        I understand that having a whiteboard title in url is useful and I like it. But problem is if you would change the title, the url would change too, right?

        We've already listed OrgPad on a few sites (i. e. on AlternativeTo), but going to add it on some more soon.

        By alternative pages for competitors you mean to create a specific page where we would explain how we differ from the concrete competitor?

        I will try to use most of the free tools before paying. I know it's incredibly labor intensive without it, but I'm extra cautious about spending more money.

  35. 1

    Very much appreciate the offer! 🙌

    We just (like literally a couple hours ago) pushed our new No-Code SaaS to production and I’m thinking of all the things to do to promote it, any insight would be highly appreciated.

    It’s a No-Code photo editor. Stick it in front of any file upload and help your customers upload better images.

    👉 https://crop.guide

    1. 2

      Looks great. Good job with the integration pages.

      SEO checklist

      • Answer all 'how to' questions around image upload, photo editor on your website in form of FAQ or blog post
      • Launch on Startup platforms like PH and review site and try to list as alternative to competitors to piggyback on their results
      • Use Quora to ask and answer questions relevant to your category
      • Try to setup a blog similar to https://uploadcare.com/blog/

      Do reach out me on twitter if you have any questions.

    Thanks for doing this. We're building a smart, fast and hassle-free search engine for site/product search.
    https://anvere.net

    1. 1

      I would like to point out that search on the homepage is not working.

      SEO checklist

      • Launch on Startup launch sites like PH if you haven't already
      • Posting on social media sites like twitter with relevant tags for backlinks
      • Use github repo for seo by targeting the relevant keyword in the title and description of the repo
      • Create alternative pages with comparison on why you?
        -Start writing blog with sole purpose to educate devs on 'how to' articles and technology trends
      1. 1

        Thanks, we're changing the dataset to be searched, should be up tomorrow when our beta goes live.

        And thanks for the checklist :)

      SEO cannot be the primary channel for acquisition for this product as users are not searching for such solutions on google.
      Humbly suggestion from my side to improve the landing page and the copy.

      Seo checklist to improve the website worth

      • Launch on PH and others

      As the content is only available as an app, we need to work on ASO to start with.
      Is there any specific niche that you are targeting in coaching like fitness?

  40. 1

    This is really cool post, Ankur. I like it.

    Btw, I built one website few months back using WP. It's atulghorpade.com and it needs lot of optimization. I want to keep main niche as SEO/Digital marketing.

    Any tips you can share? I don't know much WP stuff. Should I take help from someone?

  41. 1

    Ok, here's mine: https://deploymentfromscratch.com/

      -List on review sites like G2
      -Post your website link on your social handles

      Do share what do you do, are you a landing page builder?

      1. 1

        Yes. with a twist.
        It's a landing page builder to take pre-orders of your idea in order to validate it.

        1. 2

          Ok,
          Any particular reason the home page is redirecting to https://mixio.net/validation-by-preorder-landing-page.html

          SEO checklist
          -Launch on Startup platforms like PH or betalist and others to increase DR/DA
          -Get free backlinks from social media platforms

          There are two approaches to try and gain traction from intent keywords

          1. As an alternative landing page builder
          2. A business/startup idea validator

          Strategy for 1
          -Build alternative pages for landing page tools

          • Create blog posts on how to create landing pages on various verticals

          Strategy for 2
          -Landing pages for various keywords around idea validater
          keyword + idea validator, for ex. business idea validator, micro saas idea validator and so on.

          1. 1

            Hey. sorry for the late response!
            That's a lot for your great insight. I will definitely follow them.

            Initially I wanted to market it as idea validation tool, but it seems like landing page builder is a better proposition that people understand.

            btw, I redirected the homepage for now, as it's a temporary landing page.
            I am also not sure how to keep my landing pages. Should I build separate landing pages for each use cases? Then what should be in the homepage?

  46. 1

    Thanks for offering the help Ankur. Here is mine https://www.magicauthor.com
    I want to ensure Google shows us even for languages other than English.

    1. 2

      The best practice for supporting multiple languages on the website is domain-name/language-code/title
      http://www.mathguide.de/info/tools/languagecode.html

      As you have followed the format, google should be able to crawl the content easily. Check google search console for more details.

    Just bought ahrefs 7-day trial to get keyword ideas: SaasFrontends

    1. 1

      Good choice. It is a super tool.

      1. 1

        My humble suggestion is to minimise the use of sub-domain in the url structure.

        Seo Checklist
        -Social media posting with website link
        -Launch on Startup Platforms
        -Use HREF to find keywords that competitors are ranking, try creating blog articles or landing pages for the same.
