Step 1 - make your website “Google friendly”

• Are my title tags (headlines) written to appeal to both website visitors and search engine visitors, or are they "keyword stuffed"?

• Do my title tags contain relevant SEO keywords and brand mentions? • Are my title tags no longer than 65 characters? • Do my meta description tags (which display a preview explanation for

a page in search results) provide interesting content that will appeal to viewers of search engine results?

• Does each page on my website contain a naturally written, keyword-rich <h2> tag (headings within posts)?

• Does each page on my website include high-quality, original content? • Do my pages contain internal links to facilitate visitor and search

engine robot movement throughout my site? • Are my images optimized according to current SEO best practices? • Optimize all landing pages not just the home page
