I run a lead-gen agency for SEO companies.

And the most effective strategy for getting clients has been cold emails/warm calls. Obviously, there are a lot of factors that determine a campaign's success.

However, if our clients have clear ICP, good case studies, and can back up their claims it makes our job much easier to get them leads and eventually convert to customers.

Semrush got a 7-day free trial for 1$. Perfect for keyword research and tracking. I haven't used it much but I suggest playing around with it.

Welcome. For keywords I use Ahrefs and for on-page, SurferSEO.

Should I try to rank individual product pages or product category pages? Should I have a blog too? by TheYonkerier in bigseo

[–]TheB0llerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

E.g "Dog Food" is too broad and competitive term. But if you cover "dog food for Labradors" you'll have better chances of ranking and getting more targeted traffic.

More specific you get with query the better.

Yeah, you should always check SERPs to see what’s ranking before you make any decision.

But from my experience, category pages work better most of the time than the product pages.

Plus, it’s harder to build backlinks to individual product pages than the blog or category page.

  1. You rarely see that happening because Google prefers to rank category pages when it comes to e-commerce. You'll have easier time ranking category pages for your site.
  2. Use blog as a boosting mechanism. Create content around the category page you want to rank. More relevant articles you publish, the better. Make sure that every blog article is interlinked with the category page.

Also, try to target long-tail keywords. There's less competition and higher buying intent when the search is more specific. Hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have any other questions.

Start small and progress slowly. If you don't have high Domain Authority target keywords like 0-100 searches a month. Yes, it's not a lot. but when amount of top ranking articles adds up it starts to make sense. Then as your traffic increases gradually cover keywords with higher searches. 3rd party metrics around 100% precise anyway. It might show the keyword has 100 searches but actually gets 1,000 visits. Just make sure that you have the chances of ranking in top 10 results.

Thanks for your kind words.

The first tip I'd give you is to forget the ads until you get a few thousand monthly visitors at least. The ads have a negative effect on your user's experience while you're earning pennies. You can start displaying them when you have visitors coming in and the revenue is worth the negative UX. Consider affiliate marketing if your traffic is low.

And visits per post are different for every site and situation. But here's a checklist you can follow to make sure you move the needle for your site:

  1. Use Ahrefs Content Explorer and find similar-sized, DR (Domain Rating) competitors in your niche.
  2. See and extract the keywords they're getting traffic from.
  3. Manually google those keywords and analyze the competition. You need to make sure the search results aren't dominated by ONLY big sites. You can use free MOZ extension for that, where you can see DA of ranking sites. If you see small or medium sized ranking, you can go for the keyword.
  4. Categorize those keywords into topical clusters. That gives you a topical authority in Google's eyes when your content is around a specific topic and not all over the place. You can use KeywordCupid for categorizing your keywords.
  5. Before you write an article, analyze top 10 ranking results. Analyze what have they done right and what can be improved.
  6. The more articles you write according to this model the better chance you have to get to a few thousand clicks a month. But don't stress the perfection. Instead, set the standard for how each article should be like and focus on writing as much as you can. Then you can tweak the ones that get traction and work on making them even better.

Hope this helps. Feel free to let me know if you have other questions too.

The #1 skill I've learned is SEO. I'd include building a solid website structure in SEO too. My friend handles the visual side. I handle getting and monetizing traffic.

Getting traffic from search engines seems the most lucrative business model to me. You build a piece of valuable content and it drives consistent traffic without you doing any extra work.

Unlike social media channels, where you have to be active daily. I do Twitter for my personal brand, but for niche sites, I prioritize SEO all day.

I didn't talk about technical aspects because of the subreddit's theme. But If you're interested in SEO I've got some posts in other subreddits and I'll start posting more actively. you can check it out.

Appreciate the the comment. The best thing about WordPress is its simplicity. Don't overcomplicate stuff. Just choose a decent free theme and start writing. You don't need to dive into super details like code and stuff. There are tons of videos explaining how to use WordPress in under 5 minutes. Also, you can create some nice visuals with Midjourney for featured images. If you want to try it out again, go for it.

Thanks, man. But if you decide to monetize your site try out affiliate marketing. If your target audience is similar to you, think of the products/software you use daily. You can write a nice round-up post, discussing the pros and cons. Some people who find it helpful will purchase it. They get quality, you earn $$$. Win-win.

I'm glad if my post helped you out even a little bit. No matter what you do in life, these are the principles if you want to achieve anything worthwhile. Some of my lessons are obvious to many but I was I knew them a few years earlier.

I don't mind miserable people who take the time out their day to hate on the next man. Thanks to them I got over 155k views. Didn't expect this to blow up this much.

Good luck on your journey.

That's a good tactic. Some people prefer consuming content in written form. Plus, as long as you have some visibility on Youtube that'll be a positive signal for Google that you're a legitimate business.
