There are over 200 factors in Google's algorithm. Wouldn't it be great if you could rank higher on Google without learning each of those factors? Today I'm going to break down a minimalist approach to SEO. The only three things you should do every week to get traffic.

If you're overwhelmed and don't have lots of time to invest, it's important to know where to focus your efforts. Sure, it would be great to do everything, but that's not always realistic. And instead of doing everything that you read online about SEO, let's see the activities that will produce the most impact on your business.

So number one, optimizing existing content. Now optimizing existing content is all about finding new keywords, sitting on page two and three and optimizing for them. What you also want to end up doing is going to Google Search Console, and then looking to see which pages are getting the most impressions, but the least amount of clicks. And within there, you want to click on those pages and look to see which keywords are getting a lot of impressions that are on page two or bottom of page one that you may not be talking about too much within your content. And then what you want to do is update the content to include those keywords. You may also want to include those keywords within your title tag and your meta description.

The next thing when it comes to updating content is deleting your underperforming content. See, just because you write content and you generate a lot of links to it, it doesn't mean that it's a good piece of content. It doesn't mean that it's going to rank. It doesn't mean that it's going to get social shares. Just some content, even though people link to it, they just don't care to read about it. And that's the harsh reality of content marketing.

The next thing when it comes to updating content is consolidating content.

When we're also talking about updating content, I also want to discuss refreshing content that brings traffic to your website. There's a lot of content that is already doing well and is generating traffic on your site. But what you'll find is when you log to Google Search Console, some of these articles will drop in traffic over time, or they'll continually rise. Also, if your article's continually doing well, what are the cures that are driving you this increase in traffic? What could you do to even make it more related to those cures and better so that way you can get even more traffic?

Now, the next tactic that I want you to focus on is doing competitive analysis to guide your content efforts. Here's what I mean by this, right? So we already discussed updating content. Now, when we're talking about competitive analysis.

So what I want you to do is head over to Ubersuggest, and I want you to type in your domain. Now, when you type in your domain, you'll get a report of your top pages, your traffic, the keywords you're ranking for, but you'll also see in the left hand navigation, an option to look at competing domains. So you want to end up looking at all the other sites that are similar to you. And what this Ubersuggest report does is it shows you all the similar keywords that you rank for, that other people also rank for. And it also shows you the keyword gaps.

This report breaks down their most popular pages from top to bottom. It shows you who's linking to them and it shows you those keywords that each of those top pages are ranking for. This will also give you new content ideas in case you don't cover any of the topics that they're generating a lot of traffic for that you're not generating any traffic for. And this will give you ideas of what type of content to create.

Now let's talk about creating new content. Content clusters around keywords that your website has the potential to rank for. That's what I mean. So if you go back to Ubersuggest, you type in a keyword, let's say I go after SEO. In Ubersuggest in the keyword ideas report, there's actually an option where you can actually put in your domain name and it'll adjust the keywords that you have the ability to rank for.

So once you put in your domain name, Ubersuggest will then filter the results. So you want keywords you can rank for that are going to be much easier and those are the ones that you should start creating content around and create content clusters.

When you update an existing blog post do you update the blog published date? Or leave it as the original publish date?

Hi Neil. So much great advice. Question, we are a manufacturer of decor products and don’t know how to create content in a product driven website. Would love any thoughts or links to videos as I’m sure you have covered it.
