Do you Need SEO?

Hey, everyone!

Quarantine and viruses are changing a lot of things right now, including the way we work.

In the past few weeks, I have noticed a lot of cuts in marketing budgets and it's not surprising. However, this is a great opportunity for companies to get ahead of their competitors!

While the world is on pause - you can spend on marketing growth and reap all the benefits once the pandemic is over.

SEO is a long term game after all.

If anyone wants me to review your site for potential opportunities with organic traffic - let me know in the comments below or you can send a direct email with your URL to: [email protected]

    Not sure if you are giving free advice here or if IH have to email you to hire you for SEO advice

    1. 1

      Hey! Sorry for the confusion. I will review your site for potential SEO opportunities for free, but anything beyond that will have a fee.

      1. 1

        I assume we have to email you for the free SEO advice and not comment here.

        1. 2

          I just think email is a more comfortable format for most people (including myself) as the review may be up to 500 words and this comment section would get way too crowded. But if you prefer to have your site reviewed publicly - no worries. Let me know your URL and I will provide SEO advice here in the comments section.

          1. 2

            Would love the feedback right here.

            I am trying to increase my ranking for this page:
            https://kingmailer.co/buy-smtp-with-bitcoin/

            For the keyword: buy SMTP with Bitcoin

            Do you see any SEO opportunities?

            If you feel more comfortable doing this via email, my address is [email protected]

              1. I would not suggest you targeting this keyword - it's too small. According to Ahrefs data, this keyword is searched 10 times per month worldwide. That means even you if you on the 1st page or even in the 1st position, you literally would only get a few clicks per month.

              I would optimize the page for a keyword like "buy smtp" which has 480 searches per month - much more worth it.

              However, Ahrefs data is not accurate 100% of the time, so maybe this keyword receives more searches, in which case it may be worth the time.

              1. I would start looking at your competitors - first few positions. They have nailed search intent and this is one of the most important aspects these days. One thing in common for all of the competitors is that they show you the price on their pages, while on yours it's on another page. It's a small detail, but quite significant.

              2. The page looks nice and clean, both on desktop and mobile, but it feels like it could be more informative. Looking at your competitors, they provide more information and the layout is a lot different than yours, which suggest, people are looking for more options on the page they land.

              This would be the advice from the first glance. However, it looks like your site is on the right direction and growing, but keywords and content structure are the things that I would pay attention to right now.

              1. 1

                Thank you, thank you 🙏

                I can assure you that the number of searches is much higher (according to Google search console)

                But even if it were only 10 searches per month, would it have a higher conversion rate, as it’s a very specific search? Just curious.

                I will check what the competition is doing on their pages.

                Thank you

                1. 1

                  That's great to hear! That means not a lot of people will be targeting this keyword, thus a real opportunity to get ahead before SEO tools catch up and display real organic traffic results.

                  Yes, generally conversions are higher for more specific searches and I would say I would not focus on that keyword, but think in long-term and would go for higher volume keywords, while placing the long-tail as a secondary keyword due to lower difficult to rank it.

                  Your welcome!

                  1. 1

                    Higher volume keywords are really tough to rank on :/

                    1. 1

                      Not necessarily. The difficulty is correlated with search volume, but not 100% of the time.

    Hi!

    Definitely looking for organic traffic here, would love some advice from the pro's
    https://daily-dev-tips.com/

    1. 1

      Hey! I took a look at your site, but I cannot really help here. The site is too simplistic and doesn't really target any real keywords or meet any potential user intent. What you need a full SEO strategy as currently, it's at level 0. However, the idea is quite cool and I love the format, but this doesn't really suit the SEO landscape.

      1. 1

        No worries, thanks for having a look, will definitely keep an eye out once more content is there.

        1. 1

          Sure! Feel free to reach out once you want to take your SEO on another level.

    Hi Ben, a friend shared me this link, I'm glad I didn't ignore.

    Could you please help me look up my websites

    https://cloud1604.com/ and https://dominioamigo.com.co/

    The former is my top priority while the later is also something I want to pick up

    These are music download website, and I'm looking to rank for keywords like Mp3 download, "Artiste name + Song title Mp3".

    I would appreciate your expertise on this, so that I can be on the right path.

    I look forward to hearing from you soonest!

    1. 1

      Hey, I saw your email as well, so I sent you the analysis there.

  5. 1

    So great that you're doing this. Thank you.
    I would love for my site https://dogger.io to be more SEO-friendly.

    1. 1

      The site shows 0 of everything - backlinks, organic traffic, domain rating, etc. and looking at the site, not much else can be said - the site is empty and does not target any relevant or significant keywords. You are at level 0 and in order to optimize your SEO, you first need an SEO strategy, keyword research, and more content.

    Hello, please check my site https://faderwap.com or https://topcitysound.com music sites, i need backlinks and good seo, waiting for your reply

    1. 1

      Hey! https://faderwap.com/ is a fairly new site and I can see some traction, but it's still a very early stage for this site, but you do have some strong backlinks. In terms of opportunities, it's an unusual site, so I would need a lot better analysis on the keywords and completion to provide anything more tangible.

      https://topcitysound.com/, on the other hand, is much more established and raking for over 9k keywords. This one has one obvious opportunity - 285 keywords that rank on the second page. Analysis of each landing page and comparing it to competitors may not need a lot optimization o backlinks to get those 285 on the first page as the difficult across the board is super low. I would start with those as this will get you the quickest results.

    I just sent you an email. Looking forward to connecting

    1. 1

      Thanks! I was not expecting so many people to email me, so the inbox is a bit overblown right now, however, I am making my way through each email.

    1. 1

      The site is... empty. No content, no targeted keywords, no mobile optimization. First, I would suggest you build a proper site as now there is no point in doing any SEO. You don't build a roof when you don't have the walls.

      1. 1

        hey @benas11 - thank you for the unsolicited reply. I am tagging our lead engineering team - to cont. this conversation - hopefully can seek more advice from you. @mehulgayate , @dhanesh_jagdale

    1. 1

      The is new and fresh, so no historical data. However, the main problem - the site targets no real keywords, so even after 12+ months, Google is not going to rank your site for anything significant. I would start with proper keyword research + new landing pages/blog creation.

      1. 2

        Thank you! Could you send me your pricing to [email protected]?

    Hey, any advice for product dev/growth accelerators like wekan.company? I need ideas.

    1. 1

      Not sure I understand your question. Every site is different, every keyword is different and every competitor is different, so without specific examples, I can only provide general information. Like any site, product dev/growth accelerators will need to follow the same SEO guidelines as any other site. One idea for you: create content (not very useful advice, is it?). If you could provide more information, like your site URL, I would be able to give something more actionable.

      1. 1

        Oh sorry. I should have mentioned it explicitly. It's 'https://wekan.company'. We work with founders and help them find product-market fit with access to seed capital!

        1. 2

          Oh, that was a URL haha! The website is new and quite empty, so not much to comment. Your "blog" is empty, the site is lagging (issues with loading), but besides that - not much. You need a proper SEO strategy to get you started as at the moment there is nothing to improve. If you want to invest in SEO, email me and we can discuss (email is written on the post).

          1. 1

            Thanks for the feedback. We are familiar about the site lag and have fixed it now! Have a look if you get the time. We definitely wanna improve our SEO and I would definitely discuss it with the team. (I'm not in the position to make decisions)

            1. 2

              No worries! The website looks much better now - a lot more user friendly. But I am just going to repeat myself, you don't target any keywords and you don't have any landing pages that could rank. This would be a priority if you want to improve your SEO.

              If you want to discuss working together, you can find my email here: https://benasleo.com/contact
