An instant SEO diagnosis using Google Analytics
A major consideration when creating internal backlinks is how you link different assets together. If your site
doesn't load properly on mobile platforms, then you're wasting your time with SEO. You need a site that's responsive. It needs to work properly on desktop and mobile, and it needs to load quickly. Producing content that ranks well is clearly an important part of writing for SEO. But it’s also about turning those visitors into paying customers. As we know Google’s algorithm updates primarily focus on devaluing links that aren’t relevant. The added advantage to local link building is that these kind of links are almost always relevant.

Unlike traditional AB testing where metrics become available immediately, with an SEO change you need to wait before you can even begin your analysis. Google needs time to index the change. Then you need to accumulate at least 2 weeks of data. Google doesn ’t want a website owner to be able to artificially climb its SERPs. Rather, Google wants websites to climb the ranks only when they are genuinely valuable and popular with the audience. It wants to see natural, organic links that you haven’t paid for and it wants to see deep, relevant and interesting content. The more fresh, engaging and authoritative content on your website the better regarded it will be by search engines. According to Gaz Hall, a
UK SEO Consultant : "Content quality, content amount, and website information are all factors in your Page Quality Rating."
Think of ways to stand out from the crowd
Every website has a robots.txt; this gives robots/crawlers/spiders a bunch of rules to follow, such as where they can/can’t crawl, and the pages they can/can’t index. You can check whether a URL is blocked by robots.txt with Google’s Robots Testing Tool. A fast website
keeps the attention of site visitors and encourages them to browse the content; a page that loads slowly will often drive users away - perhaps toward your competitors. Google is good at crawling all types of URL structures, even if they're
quite complex, but spending the time to make your URLs as simple as
possible for both users and search engines can help. In the search marketing field, the pages the engines return to fulfill a query are referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs).
