Have a website on which you will use these SEO audit techniques

Description

Learn to perform an SEO audit with my comprehensive 50-point checklist. You will be able to not only identify problems on your site, but I'll show you how to fix them on your own.My goal is for you to be able to find and fix SEO problems on your site. You will only need to hire freelancers to do the intermediate to advanced technical work that is beyond SEO.Sometimes you will encounter SEO issues that can be fixed by a software engineer or a network engineer. In those cases, I recommend that you hire a freelancer. But in most cases, I show you how to fix the SEO problems on your own.

‍AFTER THE SEO AUDIT, YOU WILL HAVE:

‍
After performing the SEO audit, you'll have a list of improvements and an ability to implement:
- Making your site mobile
- Improving site load speed
- Content quality
- Optimal content strategy with full site crawling, indexing, and ranking potential

‍SELL SEO AUDIT SERVICES AS A FREELANCER OR AGENCY SERVICE

‍
SEO audits are a popular service to provide. After this course, you'll be able to impress potential clients that you will give them an impressive and comprehensive site audit with many actionable items they can implement. After that, you will be able to implement most of those action items and make more revenue from that.

‍SEO AUDIT BETTER THAN FREELANCERS CAN DO FOR YOU

‍
There are many freelancers who offer to do an SEO audit. But they won't do an SEO audit as thorough as the SEO audit you can do by following this course. The 50-point SEO audit in this course is one of the most thorough you'll see.

‍HOW I WOULD RECOMMEND APPROACHING THIS COURSE

‍
I would recommend to first perform an SEO audit on your own website so you can see the nuances of performing every check and fixing every problem you have.After you perform the SEO audit on your own website, I'd recommend selling an SEO audit service on freelancing websites so you can gain more experience in this field.If you don't have a website, I'd recommend creating your own small business website so you can practice all the skills you'll gain from this course.As you gain more experience creating SEO audits, you can charge higher prices and position your business less as a freelancer, and more as an agency.

‍USE THE GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE

‍
The Google Search Console (formerly known as Webmaster Tools) is free. It gives you information about your site indexing, crawling, and ranking of many of your pages for various keywords. We use the Google Search Console extensively in this course. It is a very helpful tool during an SEO audit.
