Get a hand-typed SEO audit in a Google Doc based on your content, keywords, and analytics. We do not use automated software; all audits are based on extensive collaboration, critical recommendations, and years of experience improving rankings.
You can break Yoast down into 3 steps: settings configuration, keyword research, and content SEO. We’ll configure Yoast and make key on-page SEO suggestions (both inside and outside of Yoast) so you can start creating perfectly optimized pages.

Google Search Console setup
Create + submit sitemap to Google
Control which content gets indexed
Guessing keywords doesn’t work. We use tools like Google Autocomplete, Ahrefs, and competitor websites to create a list of data-driven keywords. All keywords are organized based on monthly searches, competition in Google, and profitability.
Review current keywords
Competitor keyword research
Number of monthly searches
Keyword competition research
Align keywords with your content
We did zero link building to get 3,000 visitors/day (it was all on-page SEO). It's more than Yoast's green lights. Adding an HTML table of contents, rich snippets, and optimizing publish dates and click-through rates can all help rank your pages/posts.

Other types of rich snippets
FAQ snippets are a type of rich snippet that can appear in Google for both pages or posts. If you have content that can include FAQs, we'll mark them up to appear in Google which can potentially lead to higher click-through rates as well as traffic.

Can increase your CTRs
Makes snippets stand out
Results can be monitored
Featured snippets highlight your content in Google and awards you 2 results on the first page (what they call the “number 0” result). This can easily double traffic to that page. While these are technically up to Google, we can optimize for them.

Gives you a “number 0” result

Question keywords with concise info
Adding publish dates to blog posts makes your content look fresh and can significantly increase click-through rates for time-sensitive articles. This is done by adding post modified dates to your posts, then enabling publish dates in your snippets.
