Google Analytics is an incredible resource for all aspects of your website and user data. Certain SEO metrics that we prefer to view on Google Analytics revolve around user engagement. These user engagement metrics include bounce rates, time on site, pages per view, landing pages, exit pages, and conversion ratios.

What is Google SEO compliance?

Google compliance is basically playing by Google’s rules. It involves the discipline of structuring your website and all links pointing to it in the best practices of how Google sees fit.

This includes but is not limited to, on page content, URL structure, canonical tags, meta titles, meta descriptions, meta keywords, alt tags, header structure, robots.txt file, XML sitemaps, page schema, Google Analytics integrations, and keyword density. Each page on your website is viewed as unique, so any duplicate data per page will surely have a negative aspect on your SEO.

What is meta data for SEO?

Meta-data is not seeing by the average web visitor, and allows Google to effectively crawl and summarize each website page. The meta-data is located in the source code, and includes meta titles, meta descriptions, meta keywords, URL structures, and alt tags, to name a few of the most important aspects. URLs, Meta titles and meta descriptions are typically displayed on a Google search.

What are alt tags for images?

Alt tags allow for the webmaster or SEO professional to assign a descriptive meaning to an image. If the image does not have an alt tag assigned to it, the image is viewed as a “blank piece of paper”. Google image search SEO is a great way to see the benefits of alt tags.

What is page schema (structured data)?

Assigning a schema to your website or each individual page allows Google to crawl and interpret your website data at faster, more efficient levels. Typically performed in a microdata or JSON-LD markup format and placed within the website’s meta-data, it is recommended to assign a unique page schema to each individual page on your website for improved SEO results.

Does website and hosting speed impact SEO?

Website hosting directly impacts your website page loading speeds, which directly impacts your mobile and desktop SEO. If your site is on a cheap, ineffective website hosting server, you will be deemed as a lower quality website recourse and ranked lower down the list on a variety of search queries.

What is off page SEO?

Off-Page SEO involves anything off of your website. This includes all aspects of third party websites, their back links, branded profile, stories about your company, PR publications, blogs, etc. It is widely known that a big factor in improving your company’s SEO involves a variety of off-page SEO strategies and tactics.

External Links, also known as back links, are links points to your website from 3rd party websites. These are links from other pages, blogs, directories, NAP listings, resources lists, that point back to your home page or any internal page/blog on your website. It is the goal of an effective SEO manager to attract and accumulate a large volume of high-quality external links pointed to a variety of internal pages on your website.

What is anchor text?

Anchor text is the text of the link. For example, if your website is about website design, having a keyword term ” website design ” in the link provides context to Google and is much more valuable than just the anchor text of your business.

What is a follow no follow link?

A follow link is a link from your own or a 3rd party website that sends a trust factor to receiving linked page. Follow links are what SEO managers need to improve SEO rankings. A no-follow link essentially states that the linking 3rd party site does not trust the end domain destination, and therefore, does not want to be responsible for sending web traffic to a potentially SPAM website. SEO Managers try to avoid no-follow links when possible.

What are internal links?

Internal links are links on your website and link internal pages within your domain. Google crawls each and every page of your website, as follows the paths of each and every link, the anchor text in the link, and the optimisation of page the link is pointing to.
