On page SEO search engine optimization checklist
Do seo with basic steps in an organized way. It takes time depending on website size and structure. It is necessary to maintain a data sheet for daily tasks for your clients and for yourself as well. SEO for keyword research is also important. Some best seo tips are given below with brief explanations.
Robots.txt
By checking robot.txt, .htaccess files we check if any url, file folder is blocked which is blocking pages to index.
Complete website crawling checkup
Crawling in seo is important to analyze the whole site. In this process some tools are used to crawl the whole website data to find errors and other important data. Crawling is done with the help of tools like ahref, semrush and screaming frog etc. All are paid tools also have free trials. I recommend screaming frog free version for beginners, it gives 500 urls/blog post to crawl free.
Indexing checkup
Technically all pages of any website are not indexed, so try to get index important pages. Find which pages are indexed, which are not and why not then solve.
Sitemap checkup
Important point is sitemap can create and solve indexing and crawling problems. If a page don’t have internal link, external link and don’t have place in sitemap then this page will not be crawl and indexed. Check if sitemap is properly created, accessible, opening or not, submitted in search console and has all important pages link or not.
Schema data
It makes easy for search results to understand web pages. If search results understands pages in good way they will rank pages easily. One can use multiple schema data but content should be visible to human visitors as well. Schema markup generator tool is used to create a schema.
Mobile friendliness test
This test is mandatory and imp. A website looks on mobile is indexed exactly same. Check header, footer, click, and other things properly working and visible on mobile view.
Canonical checkup
Canonical tags tell search engine to index 1 page (having canonical tag) out of 2 similar looking pages. Canonical means preferred, favorite its not duplicate. In simple words a favorite/preferred among similar things. Canonical tag page rank higher in comparison to other pages.
URL check up
Url is page address. Ahref, moz and SEMrush etc are useful tools to check urls for big websites.
Meta data checkup
Meta tags are insert in header to tell some imp info to search engine. Meta title, meta description, meta robots tag, og tags, twitter cards – check all these. (OG) open graph tags are for fb. After sharing your page by user on fb og controls and provides correct preview, description and title. Twitter cards work same as og tags but for twitter. Ahref, moz are useful tools to check meta data. Screaming frog tool is also useful for free checkup but with limitations.
Header tags
Only one h1 is needed, main keyword should be on h1,
Images checkup
Image seo is equally important to increase visibility and load correctly. So check image size, check images format, indexable or not, optimize for fast downloads, images alt attributes, use images near by related text sentence.
Internal linking
Imp – Don’t use same anchor text to link two different pages, don’t link same page twice, keep anchor text relevant, place links naturally
Page speed
It tells errors on pages and useful to optimize page speed by solving errors.
