Where should I start?

[bluemonkeymagic]

Hi all,

I've got a website that I need boost page rank for, but no idea which areas I need to focus on.

My DA is 2, I've got like 20 visitors a month. 77 on page score and 299 backlinks.

What's the best route in now? Thanks!

You should hire a SEO specialist to rank your website.

no idea which areas I need to focus on.

Hire someone (an SEO Consultant) that DO have an idea of what you need to focus on.

Without looking at your site, I would focus on these and, hopefully, it will point you in the right direction...

• Technical SEO
  • It doesn´t matter how well optimized your site is for any of the points mentioned below, if search engine bots are having a hard time crawling, rendering, and indexing your site none of that will matter. So, make sure your site is in compliance with SEO best practices from a technical perspective.
    • robots.txt
    • sitemap
    • speed/performance
    • canonicals
    • broken links

See if your site can rank for UGC terms
You can use Ahrefs to filter them

What type of backlinks did you build? Also, it is better to consult an SEO specialist or service.

 

[Malaika Nayyer]

yeah it's better you need to do the SEO of your site

 

[awesomewebsites]

299 backlinks and still those bad stats. You need high quality backlinks now. Make sure you link from related blogs only on same niche.

 

[RankSerps]

299 backlinks put DA is 2, this is quite weak DA for a 5 years website. you need good guest post backlinks

 

[vickysmiths]

Search for a competitor. See every keyword they've ever bought on Google and every ad test they've run. Make their successes your own and avoid their mistakes.

hey, thank you !
This is clearly good way to start I will definitely check all your points on my actual site !

How many pieces of content do you already have?

Do you have an idea about your most polular piece of content?

Try to reverse engineer your highest ranking piece of content.

Come up with different subtopics and publish on those.

This strategy works for me because I focus on figuring out my top performers, reverse-engineering them to find out which element works, and replicating that.

Once you've got about 20 pages up using this technique I want you to go back and find your competitors and look for their lowest difficulty keywords.

Make sure those keywords have a decent amount of monthly search volume.

Filter the words based on search intent, load them on Google pay attention to the results, and see if they fit the persona of the people you're trying to reach.

By persona, I mean the range of problems they may have and also their preference for approaching their problems.

Once you have filtered your list create content by using content optimization tools like Frase or Surfer SEO.

Your goal should be to knock out about 150-200 of these pieces of content and if enough of these pieces rank, your domain authority will go up.
