SEO is a broad topic that touches anything that affects the performance of a website inside a search engine.

The following is the general SEO process cycle I do for wesbites.

1st

Website Audit

This is the part where I get to know your website and its current state. I determine the issues and suggest recommendations on how to solve them.

2nd

Keyword Research

This is the part where I determine the right target keywords for your website and forecast how many visitors we can have if we are able to rank top in the search engines for them.

3rd

Competitive Analysis

This is the part where I check who are your competitors and what they are doing in terms of SEO and where we can get leverage and compete with them.

4th

Onpage SEO

This is the part where I do SEO on your website. This touches metadata, content, images, video, optimization.

5th

Offpage SEO

This is the part where I strengthen your website authority through backlinks and mentions from important and related websites.

6th

Reporting and Data Analysis

This is the part where we can all make sense of what we are doing and analyze progress based on real quantitative data generated by tools like Google Analytics, Google Search Console, SEMRush, among others.

 

After analyzing and we see there are more things we can do, we can go back to step 1 and do the cycle again to keep improving the rankings.
