By researching your market's keyword demand, you can not only learn which terms and phrases to target for SEO, but also learn more about your customers as a whole. Here are several things to consider when establishing keywords:

- Refine the keyword list using suggested phrases from an analysis tool

- Domain URL
- HTTP Status Code + Server Errors
- URL Structure
- Internal Duplicate Pages
- Duplicate Content - Other Sites
- Broken Links
- Internal Links & Anchor Text
- Site Speed
- Robots.txt
- Page Title
- Meta Description
- Headings in Body Text (H1, H2’s and H3’s)
- Body Text
Content
Content that is updated on a website regularly is a key element of improving search engine rankings. Search Engines prefer to show active websites that are kept up to date, to ensure users are getting relevant information. Aim to create new relevant, well written articles which include your keywords at least once a month. This may include blog posts, research, product information, or news and events.
Off-Site Optimisation (other websites):
Content in the form of links, articles or comments on other websites can help improve search rankings. Sophisticated link analysis determines how pages are related to each other and their associated popularity. Therefore being active on high quality, popular websites is important. This includes business listings, blogs, forums, directories, social channels and other relevant sites.
Reporting
Website reporting should be conducted on a monthly basis to review the current status of your website, keyword report and traffic. Reporting within Google Analytics not only provides you with helpful information relating to organic rankings, but also provides clear metrics on how well your website and by extension, business is performing.
