What's your blog SEO routine?

[Shawn Gossman]

How do you integrate search engine optimization into your blog and its content?

Do you have a specific routine you use with every post?

I typically do a routine myself

1. Decide on the keyword
2. Research the keyword
3. Research competing content
4. Find gaps in competing content to fill
5. Write the outline (using SEO)
6. Write each section (using SEO)
7. Grammarly editing
8. Final SEO touches
9. Rate with Yoast
10. Submit

I go back every few months and update old posts—refresh info, tweak headings, and check the keywords. Also keep an eye on which pages drop in traffic and fix those first.

That's a really good strategy.

I think it's better than deleting content.

I’ve started adding SEO title tweaks after publishing, once I see what’s getting clicks in Search Console. Also, I refresh older posts every couple months to keep them ranking. I recently plugged my site into rankyak and found a few weak pages that just needed better internal linking. Definitely helped bring a couple posts back from page 3 to page 1 over time.

Internal linking definitely matters!
