Now you can select the most relevant keyword to your business and make sure that keyword has decent search volume.If you want some more keywords to check search volume manually, give a search on Google and pull the keyword from auto-complete and related search queries . You must select only one targeting keywords per page and select some long tail related keywords to enrich the page content. Now you have done the keyword research and have a list of targeting keywords. Now we move onto site audit.
We must understand what Google checks on our website before auditing a site. I will give you a basic idea of what are the ranking factors. Google first check the accessibility of a site, whether the site is loading fast and can be easily accessed by users. Even though I write this simply Google perform this in large-scale like from browser header code, redirection and code errors. Next will be search engine optimization to check where the pages are optimized to search engines with proper meta tags. Starting from the title, meta description, keyword and social open graph tags.
Most importantly Google checks the authority of the website. In order to check authority, the major factors will be the number of links referring to the website and its quality, and it checks domain age, domain expires, server IP, social signals brand references and the website traffic. The authority will be the most powerful factors to beat the competitor and rank top in search engines.
