SEO checklist

If you need to get to grips with Search engine optimisation fast then you can’t go wrong with taking a look at some of these resources on the SEOMOZ website.

They should help guide you with the basics of optimising a small business site.

For me, (and as I comment here on this post ‘What’s better - On-page SEO or link building’) the major point is to check that you ‘have got your own house in order’ FIRST and are doing things right with your own on-site optimisation. THEN, go out and start building links back to the website through, social sites, website directories, local listings and personal contacts etc.

Start here on the ‘learn SEO’ homepage of the seomoz website. Watch the introductory video by Rand Fishkin.

Then give the ‘Beginners Guide to SEO’ a read. You can download it as a pdf if you want to read it during some downtime.

OR

You can skip that and dive into the detail….

Using the ‘SEO checklist for small business’ and going back to the links above when you get a bit lost.

I do hope these resources help confirm what you already know / steer you in the right direction.
