SEO promotion is a process that has overgrown a number of myths, rumors and conjectures, sometimes considered almost magic. In this article, we will open the curtain over the process of SEO promotion and tell you what exactly is happening with your project, which comes to our SEO promotion department.

Unfortunately, until now there is no magic button to bring the site to the top positions in the search engines, so SEOs have to use a lot of tools for optimization and monitor changes in the algorithms of the search engines. The choice of tools and types of work will vary depending on the stage of promotion.

Why do we need monthly work on promotion and can we do without them?

In the first month of work, you will not be able to see any results from website promotion, as there is a lot of preparatory work. Such online stores as Amazon, Aliexpress, Iherb have grown to their current level not in one month too. As is known from the previously discussed topics, website promotion is a long-term process and requires constant work in this direction.

Monthly work will include work on internal and external optimization, an analysis of the results for the previous months and an adjustment of the promotion strategy depending on the actual needs.

Internal optimization of the site includes the following steps:

• Responding to updates and changes to Google’s algorithms;
• Monitoring the issuance of the search engine and the removal of the site’s positions;
• Analysis of promotion and dynamics of the site;
• Check the availability of the site and landing pages;
• Check the site for duplicate pages;
• Search and elimination of broken links;
• Check for the presence of texts on the promoted pages;
• Control of the correctness of meta data;
• Checking the uniqueness of the texts on the promoted pages;
• Additional analysis of the site and writing recommendations for finalization.

Works on external optimization of a site:

• Analysis and correction of incoming reference mass;
• Development of a strategy for increasing the reference mass;
• Drafting a plan for the purchase of links and the purchase of links;
• Verification of purchased links;
• Creation of an actual anchor list for a month;
• Update URL for purchase;
