When you’re doing SEO for new websites, things can get very stressful. There’s a lot to do and you never know wheres the correct place to start.
In this video i’m going to walk you guys through a brand new case study with one of my personal websites and how I did 2 days of work in the first 30 days and how that has led to a constant stream of traffic that has allowed us to get free feedback from users for us to improve our product.
I’ll be talking about 3 main things I did in the first 30 days and then at the end of this video i’ll be talking about what i would do to 10x the growth of this website.
It’s important to note that the initial traffic this website has gotten isn’t our full effort of getting traffic, we worked on this website for 2 days and it has now grown to bring in consistent traffic on a month-to-month basis. This work we did was a proof of concept more than anything.
So let’s talk about the 3 main things you need to do to make sure you’re correctly doing SEO for new websites.
1. Understand the SEO space
This is broken down into two separate parts. #1. Make sure that you understand that main keyword that you will eventually want to rank for. What is that impossible keyword that you would dream to come up #1 for? Well thats what your homepage should eventually rank for and thats what we need to optimize our homepage for. #2 We need to find our content strategy. Is it going to be through our blog? through template landing pages? I recommend you checkout your competitors to see what they’ve done, because thats exactly what we did for this case study.
2. Foundational Backlinks
Backlinks are an extremely important part of any SEO strategy, and it is no different for new websites. Where do you get your first backlinks is a really valid question I get asked often and it is very difficult to answer it, since (unfortunately) it depends. For this case study we decided to launch on product hunt since we saw a lot of our competitors doing the same thing and it worked quite well. We got some really high quality backlinks – more on that in the video.
3. Internal links
Once we saw that we had solid backlinks coming in to the homepage we knew we needed to build a little section on the homepage that would point that authority over to those landing pages that we were building with all of that ranking potential.
How would I 10X the SEO of this new website?
1. Continue expanding on the template pages. They’re clearly working, we just need to double down on them.
2. Continue getting backlinks – I mention a few ways of doing so in the video.
3. Start up a blog, probably about marketing tips since that would be a good audience to pitch this product to.
Let me know what you guys think of this case study i’d love to hear what your thoughts are.
