Google informed me I reached 3K clicks in 28d 🎉
I get asked a lot about my SEO strategy.
It's pretty simple, and it doesn't involve blog posts (for now):
1. I use ahrefs free site audit tool. It's amazing. It told me all the mistakes I had: from mobile unfriendliness to pages in sitemap which are not reachable through browsing. I eventually fixed all of them (because most of the ones I ignored first then showed up in my google search console as errors)
2. I invested a lot of time into getting backlinks. I looked where my competitors are linked (using the backlink tool of semrush) and then went to the website, looked up the contact email and sent an individual email asking for a backlink. Reached out to 30 site owners, got back 10 backlinks.
After 5 months (!) this took me to the first page of google. Next goal is to get to the top 3. Next steps:
- more backlinks 😅
- blogposts, maybe a forum
- try some programmatic SEO techniques I just learnt
