What exactly is a keyword?
It is important to know what a keyword actually is. Only then do we know what content to expect in order to fulfill the search intention of our visitors!
Step 7: Content audit and text quality
Search engines live from representing the most relevant search results. This is only possible if the information on a website i (a) relevant and (b) correspond to the current facts. Outdated content is poison for your success!
Step 6: Check your rankings and organic traffic
Search results and positioning are changing every day. Even keywords that you have prioritised as important are sometimes not responsible for your traffic at all. A regular check of your traffic can therefore reveal potential for optimization.
Step 5: Analyze your backlinks (backlink audit)
In a backlink audit, a website is examined to see whether referring links have a negative effect on a website. If such toxic links are detected, they are devalued via the Search Console.
