SEO Insights & Hacks You Can Use Right Now

I’ve been in SEO for years. Here’s exactly what I’d do today if I was starting fresh. Practical steps you can action yourself without a dev team.

Quick Wins You Can Do in the Next 30 Minutes

1) Fix 3 low‑CTR pages

Search site:yourdomain.com and rewrite weak titles and meta descriptions. Lead with the keyword and a clear benefit. Keep titles under 60 characters.

2) Compress heavy images

Run homepage and top posts through an image compressor. Aim for JPG/WEBP under 200 KB. You’ll score instant Core Web Vitals gains.

3) Add internal links

Open your last five posts and add 2–3 links pointing to your main money pages using natural anchor text.

My Core Approach

Principle: Make your page the best answer. Everything else is just technique.

Content that ranks

Pick one question customers ask and write a 1,000‑word answer with clear H2/H3s.
Include one simple table or checklist. It earns links and keeps readers on the page.
Add a short FAQ at the end using the exact phrases customers use.

Technical basics

Run PageSpeed Insights and fix the top three red issues.
Make sure one page targets one primary topic. Remove duplicate pages or canonicalise them.
Use meaningful URLs like /category/keyword/, not long random strings.

Authority building (without spam)

List your business on genuine local and industry directories.
Publish a helpful resource (template, calculator, data) and share it with partners and communities.
Collaborate with podcasts or YouTube channels for natural links and referral traffic.
