This knowledge empowers you to:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Optimize existing content</strong>: Ensure your content effectively targets the keywords that are already generating traffic.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Identify new content opportunities</strong>: Discover high-performing keywords that you can leverage to create fresh, targeted content and attract a wider audience.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Track your ranking journey</strong>: Monitor your website&#8217;s ranking position for various keywords over time.

This gives you an overview of how your content is performing on SERPs.

For example, it could become outdated, or user preferences might shift, leading to a drop in rankings and traffic. This is called content decay.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search Statistics lets you easily spot content decay right from your WordPress dashboard.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case, the metric you’ll want to track is the <strong>Diff </strong>column in the <strong>Content Performanc</strong>e tab.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"702\" height=\"374\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/content-decay.png\" alt=\"Content decay in Search Statistics\" class=\"wp-image-327690\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/content-decay.png 702w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/content-decay-300x160.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/content-decay-600x320.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 702px) 100vw, 702px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In many cases, a decline in <strong>Diff</strong> is a result of content decay. Don&#8217;t wait for your content to become completely irrelevant. Use these insights to identify content that could benefit from an update. This could involve incorporating new information, revamping visuals, or improving the overall structure for better readability.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details, check out our guide on <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-stop-content-decay-and-regain-lost-traffic/\" title=\"How to Stop Content Decay and Regain Lost Web Traffic (Easy SEO Guide)\">combatting content decay</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-to-set-up-google-search-console-your-faqs-answered\">How to Set Up Google Search Console: Your FAQs Answered</h2>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-do-i-need-to-be-tech-savvy-to-set-up-google-search-console\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Do I need to be tech-savvy to set up Google Search Console?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Not at all!

The sitemap doesn’t allow custom edits, which most users won’t need.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Google recommends using 2 types of sitemaps:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>An <strong>XML sitemap</strong>, which is a complete list of your website URLs</li>\n\n\n\n<li>An <strong>RSS sitemap</strong>, which is a short list of recently modified or published URLs.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>RSS sitemaps get crawled more often, and because they’re shorter, search engines require fewer resources to crawl them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in One SEO automatically generates <em>both</em> sitemaps for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let’s get those sitemaps generated.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-5-sitemap-best-practices-to-follow\">5 Sitemap Best Practices to Follow</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For WordPress users, the 1st best practice is to use software to create and maintain your sitemaps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>We recommend using <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/\">All in One SEO (AIOSEO)</a>.

Submit Sitemaps to Google</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While AIOSEO provides a maintenance-free sitemap experience, we do recommend that you submit your sitemap to Google.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a way of letting Google know that your sitemap exists.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The quickest way to do this is to append your full sitemap URL to this URL below and enter the entire string into your browser.</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>https:&#47;&#47;www.google.com/ping?sitemap=</code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Here’s an example using the WPForms URL.</p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><a href=\"https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=https://wpforms.com/sitemap.xml\">https://www.google.com/ping?sitemap=https://wpforms.com/sitemap.xml</a></code></pre>\n\n\n\n<p>You’ll immediately receive a success message in the browser like this.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-1024x314.png\" alt=\"sitemap notification received message\" class=\"wp-image-323348\" style=\"width:482px\" width=\"482\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-1024x314.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-300x92.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-768x235.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-600x184.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-190x58.png 190w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received-294x90.png 294w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/sitemap-notification-received.png 1528w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also submit your sitemap to Google via a Google Search Console account.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the recommended approach because Google Search Console will send you notifications of any issues with your site, such as indexing issues or hacking.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally, you’d have to create a Google Search Console, verify your site via a 3rd party, copy and paste code, and so on.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But with All in One SEO, the process is simple.</p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>In the WordPress editor, go to <strong>AIOSEO </strong><strong>» General Settings » Webmaster Tools Verification</strong>.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click on <strong>Google Search Console</strong></li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"484\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-1024x484.png\" alt=\"aioseo google search console integration\" class=\"wp-image-323351\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-1024x484.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-300x142.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-768x363.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-600x284.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-127x60.png 127w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1-190x90.png 190w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-google-search-console-connection-1.png 1282w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You’ll be guided through a few simple steps. This includes clicking a button to be automatically connected to Google Search Console.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console.png\" alt=\"aioseo connect to google search console\" class=\"wp-image-323352\" style=\"width:570px\" width=\"570\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console.png 834w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console-300x165.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console-768x422.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console-600x329.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console-109x60.png 109w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/aioseo-connect-to-google-search-console-164x90.png 164w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The plugin handles the rest, including site verification. Plus it will automatically submit your sitemaps to Google Search Console.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, if you’re migrating to AIOSEO from another SEO plugin, and if there are any issues with your sitemap, that will be displayed and you can simply click “Remove” next to the problematic sitemap. Remember, AIOSEO will automatically generate sitemaps for you and maintain them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Optional: You can also submit your sitemap to Bing by creating a Bing Webmaster Tools account and following <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-submit-a-sitemap-to-bing-wordpress-tutorial/\">these instructions</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And if you want to reach markets in the Russian Federation or China you should submit your sitemap, respectively, to <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-submit-a-sitemap-to-yandex-wordpress-tutorial/\" title=\"\">Yandex</a> and Baidu.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-sitemap-best-practices-from-google\">3. Sitemap Best Practices From Google</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>By using All in One SEO and submitting your sitemap to Google, you’ll adhere to the sitemap best practices laid out by Google in their developer documentation.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>These best practices include the following.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Adhering to the <a href=\"https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">sitemaps protocol</a> supported by Google, Yahoo!, and Microsoft.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Splitting large sitemaps (that <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/large-sitemaps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">exceed 50 MB</a> or 50,000 URLs) into multiple sitemaps linked together by a sitemap index file.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Updating sitemaps when content is modified or newly published.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adding sitemap URLs to your website’s robots.txt file. (This tells Google the location of your sitemaps.)</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I think you’ll agree that letting a plugin handle all of this for you is much easier than managing it yourself.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>XML stands for Extensible Markup Language and refers to the format that most sitemaps are created in. RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. RSS sitemaps are an outgrowth of RSS feeds, which originated as a way for bloggers to share their content.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-4-using-canonical-tags\">4. Using Canonical Tags</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can include canonical URLs in your sitemap.xml without any SEO issues if you use the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/seo-glossary/canonical-tag/\" title=\"\">rel=&#8221;canonical&#8221; tag</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO gives you a user-friendly way to specify canonical URLs for any content. There’s no need to add the canonical tag to the HTML, as the plugin will do that automatically.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/docs/canonical-urls-in-all-in-one-seo/\">creating canonical URLs</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-5-use-consistent-url-formatting\">5. Use Consistent URL Formatting</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure that the URLs in your sitemap use consistent formatting (e.g., with or without trailing slashes, with or without &#8220;www&#8221; subdomain) to avoid duplicate content issues and improve the efficiency of search engine crawling.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use All in One SEO, this will be handled automatically for you.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-aioseos-optional-sitemaps\">AIOSEO’s Optional Sitemaps</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, in addition to XML and RSS sitemaps, you may have heard of alternative sitemaps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, AIOSEO offers 3 optional sitemaps. Here’s what they are, how to enable them, and the purpose they serve.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-styled\"><table><thead><tr><th>Sitemap</th><th>How to turn it on in AIOSEO</th><th>Purpose</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>Video sitemap</td><td><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/docs/how-to-create-a-video\">Instructions</a></td><td>Helps Google better understand and rank your video content.</td></tr><tr><td>Google News sitemap</td><td><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/docs/how-to-create-a-google-news-sitemap/\">Instructions</a></td><td>Enables eligible journalism content to appear in Google News.</td></tr><tr><td>HTML sitemap</td><td><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-an-html-sitemap-to-wordpress/\">Instructions</a></td><td>Not for search engines: This is a visual list of URLs for site visitors.</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-create-a-video-sitemap-in-wordpress-the-easy-way/\" title=\"\">video sitemaps</a> can help your content rank, and Google News sitemaps get journalism content into Google News, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-an-html-sitemap-to-wordpress/\" title=\"\">HTML sitemaps</a> don’t necessarily provide SEO value.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>They provide an alternate way for readers to browse your content.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-do-i-need-a-sitemap-index-file\">Do I Need a Sitemap Index File?</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A sitemap index file is like a master sitemap for large sites. It links out to separate sitemaps representing different sections of the site.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google restricts the size of a single sitemap to <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/build-sitemap#general-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">50MB or 50,000 URLs</a>. When a site has more than 50,000 URLs a sitemap index file must be created and linked to separate sitemaps. This makes crawling easier for Google’s bots.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>By default, AIOSEO automatically creates an index file, linked to multiple sitemaps, for websites that need it based on the number of pages.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Example: a large ecommerce website, with over 50,000 product pages, would need a sitemap index file that links out to separate sitemaps, organized, for instance, by product category.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-internal-linking-and-orphan-pages\">Internal Linking and Orphan Pages</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Orphan pages are pages that have no inbound internal links. Often, new pages are orphan pages, because they aren’t linked to from existing articles.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, whenever you publish new content, your XML and RSS sitemaps will be updated with links to these pages.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, those sitemap links are for search engines. It’s a good idea to add links from other pages to your newly published content. That helps users as well as Googlebot discover your content.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pro version of All in One SEO (AIOSEO) includes a <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/features/internal-link-assistant/\" title=\"\">Link Assistant</a> that lists your orphan pages and provides recommended links.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"583\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-1024x583.png\" alt=\"aioseo link research tools\" class=\"wp-image-256641\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-1024x583.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-300x171.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-768x437.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-600x341.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-105x60.png 105w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant-158x90.png 158w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-link-assistant.png 1220w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more about <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-easily-find-and-fix-orphan-pages-in-wordpress/\">finding and fixing orphan pages</a></p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pro tip: Internal linking is one of the most overlooked SEO tactics.

Google’s John Mueller has said that even with 100k URLs a site would not need to be concerned about crawl budget.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your site has over 100k URLs and you’d like to learn more about crawl budget, start with Greg Illyes’s article <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/blog/2017/01/what-crawl-budget-means-for-googlebot\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">What Crawl Budget Means for Googlebot</a>.

Still, Google recommends sitemaps for websites that are <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/overview#do-i-need-a-sitemap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">new, large, or have rich media.</a></p>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-what-pages-should-be-in-an-xml-sitemap\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">What pages should be in an XML sitemap?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>An XML sitemap should include all page URLs and assets (such as images) you want indexed by search engines. By indexed, we mean you want the pages to appear in search results.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Omitting pages</strong>: Some pages, like admin login pages or “thank you” pages that appear when people check out, don’t need to be indexed. Those are examples of pages you might add to your robots.txt file using the disallow directive.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Automating what’s included</strong>: All in One SEO (AIOSEO) users can rely on the plugin’s sitemap tool to handle details of what’s included in the sitemap. AIOSEO also provides easy ways to customize the sitemap and robots.txt file.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canonical URLs</strong>: Realize that Google typically displays any <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/consolidate-duplicate-urls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">existing canonical URLs </a>in search results. Including canonicals in your sitemap is considered a “weak signal” of which URL you prefer. Using redirects or the rel=”canonical” attribute is regarded as a “strong signal.” Combining 2 signals is best, per Google.</p>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-many-sitemaps-should-a-website-have\">How many sitemaps should a website have?</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google recommends that websites use 2 sitemaps: an XML sitemap and an RSS sitemap. The XML sitemap is a comprehensive list of crawlable URLs on your site. And the RSS sitemap is a list of recently edited or published content.</p>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-is-xml-format-the-only-accepted-format-for-sitemaps\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Is XML format the only accepted format for sitemaps?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Sitemaps are commonly created using XML and RSS or Atom, but Google also can read <a href=\"https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/sitemaps/build-sitemap\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">text file sitemaps</a>.</p>\n</div></div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\" id=\"aioseo-should-i-use-a-free-sitemap-generator-tool\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\">Should I use a free sitemap generator tool?</h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Free sitemap generator tools may produce a downloadable sitemap file, but you’ll need to upload the XML file to the root directory of your website on your web server. These free tools typically require that you upgrade to a paid tier for them to manage and update your sitemap.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in One SEO differs in that it produces 2 sitemaps (in keeping with Google’s best practices) and dynamically generates sitemaps rather than placing them as static files on a web server. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access AIOSEO’s sitemap generator for free by <a href=\"https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">downloading AIOSEO Lite from WordPress.org</a>.

But Kaushik is central to the article. And we want search engines to index this alt text.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That way users searching for &#8220;Avinash Kaushik&#8221; may come across this photo and click through to the article.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now let’s look at 2 image issues that can affect SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-more-seo-tips-image-file-names-and-sizes\">More SEO tips: Image File Names and Sizes</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Making sure your <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-best-optimize-images-in-wordpress/\" title=\"image file name and size is optimized\">image file name and size is optimized</a> can improve your SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let’s look at file names first.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-image-file-names-vs-file-types\">Image File Names vs. File Types</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we dive in, it helps to know that an <strong>image file name</strong> is different from the image file <em>type</em>. The file type is expressed as an “extension” – a short bit of text that automatically appears at the <em>end</em> of an image file name.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Photo-name.jpg</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This tells us the file name is “photo-name” and it’s in jpg file format.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If this image was in png format, it would look like this: Photo-name.png.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The extension is a tiny bit of information that indicates what format the file is in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many types of digital image formats, such as .webp and .svg. It’s not necessary to understand them all because this extension will be added automatically.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-to-optimize-image-file-names\">How to Optimize Image File Names</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because search engines also read image file names, make sure yours are clear and descriptive.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poorly named image files are vague, like these:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>1100073658.jpg</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Man-exercising.jpg</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Good image titles should be specific and describe the image.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, say you&#8217;re writing an article about how recruits build their fitness before being sent to the U.S. Marine Corps Boot Camp.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your image shows an actual recruit practicing plank exercises. Instead of man-exercising.jpg you could title your image <strong>marine-recruit-holding-plank</strong>.jpg.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>File names for decorative images are often less specific because they’re used to evoke a mood or sense of brand. For instance, the decorative Nautilus image above is called <strong>wonder-vehicle</strong>.jpg.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you’re sharing a work of art, the title of the artwork is a suitable image file name.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more in our article on <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/image-filename-seo/\" title=\"\">image filename SEO</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p><strong>Caution</strong>: Publishing images that you don’t have a license for, can result in hefty fines. In the U.S. these fines can reach up to $150k <em>per image use</em>.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-image-file-size\">Image File Size</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because large file sizes can cause your page to load slowly, consider using a WordPress plugin that will automatically optimize your images for speed.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Plugins like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/wp-rocket\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">WP Rocket</a> are easy to install and use.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pro tip</strong>: Your image file size and the display size of the image are 2 different things. It&#8217;s possible to reduce image size and have it still display as a high-resolution, Retina-ready image.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-web-page-seo-get-more-visitors\">Web Page SEO: Get More Visitors</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Informative and decorative images can help you engage site visitors. And alt text for informative images can attract traffic from search engines.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>But there’s more to SEO than just image alt text.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is where a plugin like <strong><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/\" title=\"\">All in One SEO (AIOSEO)</a></strong> comes in.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Designed to be easy for beginners to use, it provides most everything you need for SEO (other than content).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an established plugin with thousands of 5-star reviews on WordPress.org.

It&#8217;s a multifaceted concept going beyond merely ranking for specific keywords. Instead, it encompasses factors like organic traffic, user engagement, and overall online presence.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, search visibility is about being discoverable by the right audience. It involves optimizing various elements of your site to ensure search engines recognize its relevance to users&#8217; queries. It’s also about maintaining a consistent and prominent presence across various relevant search queries.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high search visibility indicates that your site is ranking well and attracting <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/organic-traffic/\" title=\"What is Organic Traffic? [9+ Tips to Increase it on Your Site]\">organic traffic</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-the-importance-of-improving-your-search-visibility\">The Importance of Improving Your Search Visibility</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Improving search visibility is crucial to an impactful online presence. Some reasons for this include:</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-increased-organic-traffic\">Increased Organic Traffic</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When a website ranks higher on search engine results pages, it is more likely to attract organic traffic. Higher website traffic not only means a greater reach but also increases the likelihood of converting visitors into customers.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-helps-establish-online-authority\">Helps Establish Online Authority</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Search visibility is a testament to a site&#8217;s authority within its niche. Consistently appearing in search results positions your site as a reliable source of information, fostering trust among users. As a result, you’ll be seen as an authority in your niche.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-improves-conversion-rates\">Improves Conversion Rates&nbsp;</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Enhancing search visibility goes hand in hand with optimizing for conversions. If your site is easily discoverable and provides a seamless user experience, it’s more likely to convert visitors into customers or subscribers. This means you’ll enjoy a boost in your <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/ways-to-increase-your-organic-clickthrough-rates/\" title=\"8 Proven Ways to Increase Your Organic Clickthrough Rates\">clickthrough rates</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<p>As you can see, improving your search visibility isn’t something to put off.

Then, you’ll want to rank higher.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Routine tasks, like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/seo-audit/\">site audits</a> or web page optimization, can be time-intensive.

It’s easy to misuse these tools.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, include enough of the listed terms and Clearscope will give you a high grade. (The highest being A++.) But a high grade doesn’t necessarily correlate with quality <em>or ranking</em>. Consider: It’s possible to get a low grade and land the featured snippet!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, using “terms” verbatim, doesn’t account for the fact that Google understands <em>variants</em> of keywords (“terms”).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nor does Clearscope seem engineered to adapt to Google’s recent algorithms which are growing in sophistication.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To the point, for some keywords, there’s not a lot of quality content available, so trying to emulate what everyone else has done may not the best approach.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, we use Clearscope and many top content marketing teams, including those at IBM, NVIDIA, and Conde Nast, rely on it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Who it’s for</strong>: Content teams that need to scale up.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Features:</strong></p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Themes and outlines</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content grading</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Displays PAA questions</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pricing: </strong>Starts at <a href=\"https://www.clearscope.io/pricing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">$199/month</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-marketmuse-intelligent-content-planning\">13.

These include uploading an HTML file to your website, adding a meta tag to your site&#8217;s code, verifying ownership through a Google Search Console verification plugin (if you use a content management system like WordPress), or associating your Google Analytics account with GSC (if it&#8217;s on the same domain).</p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the easiest way to verify your site with GSC is to use <a href=\"https://aioseo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"All in One SEO - WordPress SEO Plugin and Toolkit\">AIOSEO</a>.&nbsp;</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"311\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/aioseo.png\" alt=\"aioseo homepage\" class=\"wp-image-151544\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/aioseo.png 700w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/aioseo-300x133.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/aioseo-600x267.png 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO is the best WordPress SEO plugin on the market.

Metrics Tracked</h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-search-console\">Google Search Console</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GSC tracks search-related metrics like impressions, clicks, click-through rates (CTRs), and average position in SERPs for specific pages and queries. This data is crucial for fine-tuning your SEO strategy ensuring your content ranks higher.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-analytics\">Google Analytics</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 tracks a wide range of user behavior and site performance metrics. This includes page views, bounce rates, conversion rates, session duration, and user engagement metrics like scroll depth and click events.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The data you get from GA4 helps you target the right traffic acquisition channels. It also helps boost your clickthrough rates and other engagement metrics.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-6-clicks-and-sessions\">6. Clicks and Sessions</h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-search-console\">Google Search Console</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GSC measures individual clicks on search results for specific keywords. This helps you understand how often users see your site listed in search results and how likely they are to click on it.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-analytics\">Google Analytics</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 goes beyond clicks and groups user interactions into sessions. A session is a group of user actions on your site within a set timeframe (usually 30 minutes). This provides a broader view of user activity, allowing you to see how users navigate your site and how long they engage with your content.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-7-error-monitoring-and-reporting\">7. Error Monitoring and Reporting</h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-search-console\">Google Search Console</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GSC identifies crawling and indexing issues affecting your site&#8217;s visibility in search results. Specifically, it can alert you to:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Crawl errors:</strong> These occur when Google&#8217;s search engine crawler encounters problems accessing or fetching content on your website. Examples include broken links, server errors, or robots.txt blocking important content.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Index coverage: </strong>GSC provides insights into how many of your website&#8217;s pages have been successfully indexed by Google. It can also report on pages encountering indexing issues and why they might not be included in search results.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mobile usability problems</strong>: This refers to issues that make it difficult for users to access and interact with your site on a mobile device. <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/mobile-seo-vs-desktop-seo/\" title=\"Mobile SEO vs. Desktop SEO: A Practical WordPress Guide\">Mobile SEO</a> is essential as <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/seo-statistics/\" title=\"81 SEO Statistics for 2024 (Current &amp; Verified)\">mobile is fast overtaking desktop</a> regarding search.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Security issues</strong>: GSC can warn you of potential security vulnerabilities on your website, such as malware or phishing attempts. Addressing these issues is crucial for maintaining a safe and <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/https-and-seo/\" title=\"HTTPS and SEO: How Website Security Impacts Your Rankings\">secure website</a> for your visitors.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does GCS highlight these issues, but it also helps you diagnose and fix these technical problems.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-analytics\">Google Analytics</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 focuses on site functionality and user experience (UX) but doesn&#8217;t directly report on crawling or indexing issues. However, by analyzing user behavior data in GA4, you may identify areas where users struggle to navigate your site or complete desired actions. This indicates potential website functionality issues. Examples include:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>High bounce rate</strong>: If certain pages on your website have a high bounce rate (users leaving after one page), it might indicate usability problems that are causing users to abandon the page quickly.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Low engagement time</strong>: Similarly, pages with low average session duration could suggest users are struggling to find the information they need or that the content is not engaging them.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Click tracking and heatmaps</strong>: GA4 features like click tracking and <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-add-microsoft-clarity-to-wordpress/\" title=\"How to Add Microsoft Clarity to WordPress (Free Heatmaps)\">heatmaps</a> can reveal how users interact with your website. They can identify areas where users might&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Addressing the root cause of these issues can improve your site’s performance, resulting in better engagement metrics.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-8-default-time-zone\">8. Default Time Zone</h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-search-console\">Google Search Console</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GSC uses the time zone associated with your Google account. This can be inconvenient if your target audience is located in a different time zone.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-google-analytics\">Google Analytics</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>GA4 allows you to set a custom time zone for data reporting. This ensures that your site traffic and user behavior data is displayed in the time zone that is most relevant to your business.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-9-integrations\">9. Integrations</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both GSC and GA4 integrate with other Google products, such as Google Ads (for managing online advertising campaigns) and Google Optimize (for A/B testing different website variations).

Mobile-First Indexing</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Starting in 2016, Google began using the mobile version of a website&#8217;s content to rank pages in search results, rather than the desktop version.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google crawls and indexes the mobile version first. So if your website isn&#8217;t optimized for mobile devices, it could negatively impact your search rankings, even for desktop searches.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, your mobile site is considered the primary version of your website by Google.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-local-sales\">3.

Page Loading Speed</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Mobile users are often multi-tasking, waiting in line, or on the move. They’re impatient. Their expectations are set by the fastest-loading sites. And with 5G rolling out, consumers expect nearly-instantaneous loading of sites and apps.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, how fast your site loads can impact its ranking.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2-simple-navigation\">2. Simple Navigation</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since mobile screen widths are small, strive to make your navigation simple and intuitive. And consider reducing the main navigation items in the mobile version of your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-large-buttons\">3. Large Buttons</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether they’re for booking a reservation or ordering something, make sure your buttons, when viewed on a smartphone, are large and easy to tap.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-4-short-checkouts\">4. Short Checkouts</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Likewise, be sure your checkouts, when executed on a smartphone, have minimal steps and are easy to complete.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-to-get-a-great-wordpress-mobile-design\">How to Get a Great WordPress Mobile Design</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So, you’re a WordPress user, and want all that. How do you get it? Good question!</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 2 options: DIY or outsource.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-1-diy-pick-a-high-performing-template\">1. DIY: Pick a High-Performing Template</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The nice thing about WordPress is you can get a site redesign with a few button clicks.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is done by choosing a theme (for instance, from a theme marketplace), downloading it, and uploading it to the themes section of your WordPress website.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you make it your default theme, and voila, your site looks totally different.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When picking a theme, you’re going to want one that’s been coded to load fast. These themes will usually advertise themselves as getting high PageSpeed Insights scores, out of the box.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some page builders to explore. (These come bundled with many pre-built website options).</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SeedProd</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/blocksy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Blocksy</a></li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/generatepress/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">GeneratePress</a></li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"626\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-1024x626.jpg\" alt=\"seedprod interface\" class=\"wp-image-289516\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-1024x626.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-300x183.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-768x470.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-1536x939.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-2048x1252.jpg 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/seedprod-builder-image-600x367.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: Example of a SeedProd template with customization options.</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2-choose-custom-design-services\">2. Choose Custom Design Services</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some users just want to outsource all this. We get it. And there can be good reasons to outsource.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, there’s more to launching a new site than just getting a theme.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Structure: </strong>The structure of your current site may be completely different from what’s available out-of-the-box with the new theme.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Content</strong>: There may be new areas in the theme that need new content</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Checkout</strong>: Need a secure checkout or donation solution? There are great plugins for this, like <a href=\"https://www.wpcharitable.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WP Charitable</a> and <a href=\"https://wpsimplepay.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">WP Simple Pay Pro</a>. But you can also get this set up for you.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For outsourcing, we recommend <a href=\"https://seahawkmedia.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Boston’s Seahawk Media</a>. They’ll create a site from scratch, do a redesign, and assist with any WordPress needs.

Google PageSpeed Insights</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This free tool will show you how fast (or slow) you site loads on mobile devices.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>One thing I love about <a href=\"https://pagespeed.web.dev/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">PageSpeed Insights</a> is it provides a detailed list of exactly what to do to improve your site’s speed and performance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware though, these recommendations are for web professionals and it’s unlikely most consumers will understand them.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you have 2 options.</p>\n\n\n\n<ol>\n<li>Hire a developer to execute the fixes</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Choose a WordPress theme that already loads fast.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-your-mobile-phone\">3. Your Mobile Phone</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Navigate through your website using your mobile phone. Respond to any calls-to-action.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Are the forms easy to fill out on mobile? Is the checkout easy? How about the newsletter signup?</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using your own phone to browse your site is a powerful way to get instant insight into what’s working well and what’s not.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let’s get into the nitty-gritty of how to optimize your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-how-to-optimize-your-wordpress-website\">How to Optimize Your WordPress Website</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I don’t know about you, but I like to find the <em>easiest </em>way to do things. But I’m picky. I want it to be easy <em>and </em>excellent.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to optimizing WordPress websites, that means using an <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/best-seo-plugins-for-wordpress/\">SEO plugin</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use and recommend the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/\" title=\"\">All in One SEO (AIOSEO)</a> plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-about-all-in-one-seo\">About All in One SEO</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This plugin automates most of the analysis that needs to be done, and delivers clear action steps. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I really like is, AIOSEO makes these action steps easy.

And this can save you thousands of dollars.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in One SEO is an established plugin with thousands of 5-star reviews on WordPress.org.

Use Short Introductions</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is self-explanatory. Get to the point quickly.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2-use-the-inverted-pyramid\">2. Use the Inverted Pyramid</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For most consumer content, using the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-the-inverted-pyramid-to-improve-web-content/\">inverted pyramid style</a> is wise. But this becomes even more important for small screens.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The inverted pyramid method of writing puts the most important information at the top of the page.</p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why it’s important</strong>: While many site visitors don’t bother scrolling down a page, this lack of scrolling is common with mobile users.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"323\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-1024x323.png\" alt=\"example of inverted pyramid style\" class=\"wp-image-231265\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-1024x323.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-300x95.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-768x242.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-1536x484.png 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-2048x645.png 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-600x189.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-190x60.png 190w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/inverted-pyramid-example-286x90.png 286w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: A good example of placing important information near the top of an article. </em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-2-optimize-ctas\">2. Optimize CTAs</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A CTA is a call-to-action. This is an action that you want web visitors to take, such as:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Entering their email address to get a discount</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Registering for an online or in-person event</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Providing their email address to get something free (like an ebook)</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Signing up for an email newsletter.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CTAs are crucial for moving visitors from the “See” stage to “Thinking” about what you have to offer. (Learn more about the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/tofu-mofu-bofu/\">See-Think-Do model</a>.)</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To optimize CTAs:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Pace them at the top.</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure buttons are large enough and links are easy to tap</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make sure forms are easy to fill out on mobile devices.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that the more information you ask from people, the more will decline to fill out your form. Mobile users will be more impatient. So consider editing your CSS so that a <em>different</em> mobile form appears specifically designed for impatient users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, an email signup for mobile users could ask only for their email address or their email address and first name only, not first and last name.</p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-aioseo-theme-notice-box\" role=\"alert\">\n<p>Pro tip: Make sure you use <a href=\"https://wpforms.com/features/responsive-mobile-friendly/\">mobile-friendly forms</a>.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-4-write-in-plain-english\">4. Write in Plain English</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave the flowery prose for that novel you’re writing. Follow <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/george-orwells-6-rules-for-writing/\">George Orwell’s 6 rules for writing</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you optimize your page with AIOSEO, pay attention to the <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-the-flesch-reading-ease-score-to-grow-traffic/\">Flesch Reading Ease Score</a>. This is visible in the Readability tab of the AIOSEO sidebar.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flesch-reading-ease-score.png\" alt=\"aioseo fleash reading score\" class=\"wp-image-225349\" style=\"width:370px\" width=\"370\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flesch-reading-ease-score.png 765w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flesch-reading-ease-score-300x123.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flesch-reading-ease-score-600x245.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flesch-reading-ease-score-147x60.png 147w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/flesch-reading-ease-score-220x90.png 220w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-5-use-short-paragraphs-and-sentences\">5.

Use Your Focus Keyword Well</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Using your keyword well can keep your content focused and help users and search engines immediately detect the main topic.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AIOSEO plugin will check to see you’ve used your keyword in your:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Title</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Meta description</li>\n\n\n\n<li>First sentence</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Some subheadings</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Alt text (if relevant)</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If your focus keyword is missing from any of these areas, AIOSEO will recommend adding it.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, the plugin’s Keyword Density checker will alert you to overuse of a keyword (which can indicate keyword stuffing) or underuse.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1.png\" alt=\"aioseo focus keyword density checker\" class=\"wp-image-257445\" style=\"width:360px\" width=\"360\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1.png 942w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1-300x132.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1-768x338.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1-600x264.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1-137x60.png 137w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/aioseo-low-keyword-density-example-1-205x90.png 205w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all automated tools, always use your judgment when taking action. If the plugin recommends adding more instances of your keyword to subheadings, and that would make your copy sound awkward, then skip the recommendation.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-apply-structured-data\">8. Apply Structured Data</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can think of structured data as “tags” that only search engines can see. These tags are added with code called schema markup.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>This code helps Google understand your page better and rank it for relevant keywords. Some types of schema produce rich results. A rich result is a search snippet that has images, tart ratings, shipping or product details, and other features missing from standard snippets.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"601\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-1024x601.jpg\" alt=\"examples of rich snippets\" class=\"wp-image-242007\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-1024x601.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-300x176.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-768x450.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-1536x901.jpg 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-2048x1201.jpg 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-600x352.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-102x60.jpg 102w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/google-rich-snippet-example-153x90.jpg 153w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: Examples of rich snippets on Google.</em></figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO allows you to <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-use-schema-markup-to-boost-your-seo/\">add schema markup</a> to pages easily, by clicking some buttons.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, you can browse the list of available schema. These are sorted by categories like:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Recipe schema</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Events schema</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Course schema</li>\n\n\n\n<li>And so on.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When and if you find an applicable schema, you simply add it to your page and save.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-9-make-your-content-scannable\">9. Make Your Content Scannable</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Research has shown that most people don’t read web pages word-for-word. Instead, they scan to page, looking for elements that stand out, like:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Subheadings</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lists</li>\n\n\n\n<li>Images or video</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>AIOSEO checks for use of these items. This makes creating <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/how-to-create-scannable-content/\">scannable content</a> easier.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking for more details on optimization?

A theme gives you an entirely new site design. If your site’s slow, consider switching to a theme designed to lad fast. Some top options are <a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SeedProd</a>, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/blocksy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Blocksy</a>, and <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/generatepress/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">GeneratePress</a>. These are actually page builders which offer you lots of pre-built sites to choose from.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Try it out</strong>: When you install a theme from a page builder, use your mobile phone to interact with it. Are the buttons easy to tap? Is the navigation simple? If not, simply choose another design.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Caching:</strong> Consider using a caching plugin like <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/wp-rocket/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">WP Rocket</a> to compress images and speed site loading. Find out if your web host uses a CDN (content delivery network). This can speed up site loading too. And ask the host if they have any special caching technologies to offer you.</li>\n</ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-use-mobile-friendly-conversion-popups\">Use Mobile-Friendly Conversion Popups</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This one is related to speed. To capture leads, use <a href=\"https://optinmonster.com/features/mobile-friendly-popups/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">mobile-friendly popups</a>. Our favorite tool for this is OptinMonster. We use it on our own site and credit it with helping us grow consistently.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>OptinMonster gives you plenty of ready-to-go templates that look professional and are coded efficiently. There’s no need to worry about code bloat slowing down your page and dinging your conversion rates.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>I’m a big fan of OptinMonster’s Exit-Intent popups. These popups only appear when a user is getting ready to leave your site.</p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-the-link-between-local-seo-and-mobile-seo\">The Link Between Local SEO and Mobile SEO</h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because smartphones are often used to find local businesses, we need to cover local SEO.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind, anything you do for local SEO is going to benefit <em>all </em>users.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>My recommendations here are based on <a href=\"https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en#:~:text=Verify%20your%20business%20locations%20so,Learn%20more%20about%20verification.&amp;text=Update%20your%20business%20hours%20regularly,hours%20for%20holidays%20and%20events.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Google’s advice for improving local SEO</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-1-get-and-optimize-a-google-business-profile\">1.

The author page allows for a longer bio, education, employment, and other details.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/features/internal-link-assistant/\"><strong>Link Assistant</strong></a>: Increasing internal links to your most important pages is one way to boost their rankings.

AIOSEO offers 18 types of schema, ranging from recipe schema to events, books, course, software, and more. Applying this markup is easy: you’ll click some buttons and fill out a few form fields.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https://aioseo.com/features/search-statistics/\"><strong>Search Statistics</strong></a>: You can see which keywords you’re ranking for without leaving the WordPress editor. In addition you’ll get a list of pages that gained the most for a given time period, and those slipping in rankings. This helps you prioritize what to work on next.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"830\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-1024x830.jpg\" alt=\"aioseo search statistics interface\" class=\"wp-image-226990\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-1024x830.jpg 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-300x243.jpg 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-768x622.jpg 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-600x486.jpg 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-74x60.jpg 74w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics-111x90.jpg 111w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/aioseo-seo-statistics.jpg 1520w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: Screen view of part of AIOSEO’s Search Statistics.

Google’s PageSpeed Insights</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google PageSpeed Insights is a free online tool that analyzes a web page&#8217;s speed and performance on both mobile and desktop devices. It provides a score from 0 to 100, along with suggestions for improvement.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"542\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-1024x542.png\" alt=\"pagespeed insights sample analysis mobile\" class=\"wp-image-320105\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-1024x542.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-300x159.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-768x406.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-600x317.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-113x60.png 113w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile-170x90.png 170w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/pagespeed-insights-sample-analysis-mobile.png 1223w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Here’s how PageSpeed Insights can benefit mobile.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identify performance issues:</strong> PageSpeed Insights pinpoints areas that slow down a website&#8217;s loading time on mobile devices, such as large images or unoptimized code.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enhance user experience</strong>: By addressing the issues identified, website owners can improve loading speed and overall user experience on mobile, reducing bounce rates and increasing engagement.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boosts search rankings</strong>: Google considers page speed as a <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/google-ranking-factors/\">ranking factor</a>. Improving PageSpeed Insights scores can positively impact a website&#8217;s search engine rankings.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get specific recommendation</strong>: The tool offers specific suggestions on how to optimize a website for better mobile performance, making it easier for developers to implement changes.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p>That last point is key. PageSpeed Insights’ recommendations are geared toward developers. If you have an intermediate-level knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, you may be able to execute some basic improvements, like loading fonts locally.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, WordPress users can use a plugin like WP Rocket or WP Smush to provide caching and compress images.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>It’s worth talking to your web hosting company to find out other options they may have for speeding up your site. But don’t overlook the power of switching your theme.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are quality <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/best-wordpress-page-builders/\">WordPress page builders</a> designed to load fast. These typically offer many pre-built websites that you can launch with a few clicks.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some providers to checkout: <a href=\"https://www.seedprod.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">SeedProd</a>, <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/blocksy/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">Blocksy</a>, an <a href=\"https://aioseo.com/recommends/generatepress/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" title=\"\">GeneratePress</a>.</p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-3-twilio-segment-mobile-analytics-and-improved-performance\">3. Twilio Segment: Mobile Analytics and Improved Performance</h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Twilio Segment is a way to create no-code connections between software apps. It allows you to track nearly anything, and provides a single data source of all customer interactions across iOS, Android, push, email, help desks, and more.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"551\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-1024x551.png\" alt=\"twilio segment homepage\" class=\"wp-image-320107\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-1024x551.png 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-300x161.png 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-768x413.png 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-600x323.png 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-112x60.png 112w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage-167x90.png 167w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/twilio-segment-homepage.png 1283w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also use Segment to optimize your mobile app’s performance.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be clear, Segment doesn’t offer on-page optimization. However, it can help with mobile analytics and performance which ultimately will impact your SEO and related conversions.</p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-improving-mobile-app-performance\">Improving Mobile App Performance</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some specific ways Segment can, by improving your mobile app’s performance, indirectly boost its visibility and ranking in app stores.</p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Eliminating redundant code</strong>: By consolidating repetitive user tracking code with a single, simple API, Segment can reduce the amount of code in your app. A smaller app size is beneficial for download times.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Boosting performance</strong>: Segment optimizes data collection through data queuing, batching, and compression, saving your users’ battery life and improving the overall performance of your app. Faster, more efficient apps provide a better user experience, which can boost retention and influence app store rankings.</li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Segment Sources</strong>: This feature combines user behavioral data with data from other platforms (e.g., Google Adwords, Salesforce, Zendesk, SendGrid) to help build better apps and more personalized customer experiences. Enhanced app quality and personalized experiences can lead to higher user satisfaction, which is beneficial for app store rankings and visibility.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aioseo-using-mobile-data-to-create-seamless-omnichannel-marketing\">Using Mobile Data to Create Seamless Omnichannel Marketing</h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Segment can also track mobile user interactions in detail. Segment can then pipe this data into multi-channel marketing platforms.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then you can build automated, personalized<strong> 1:1 campaign</strong>s triggered by how individual users interact with your mobile site or app. </p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also factor in lead scoring to automatically customize messaging to those most likely to buy.</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-1024x512.webp\" alt=\"ortto template\" class=\"wp-image-256730\" style=\"width:839px;height:420px\" width=\"839\" height=\"420\" srcset=\"https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-1024x512.webp 1024w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-300x150.webp 300w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-768x384.webp 768w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-1536x768.webp 1536w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-2048x1024.webp 2048w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-600x300.webp 600w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-120x60.webp 120w, https://aioseo.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/ortto-user-journey-example-180x90.webp 180w\" sizes=\"100vw\" /><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Above: View of part of an Ortto flow</em>.</figcaption></figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is called behavior-based marketing, and it’s incredibly effective.
