Top 10 Tasks for Quick SEO Wins [Under 30 Min Each]<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
1. Find Low-Competition Keywords<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Low-competition keywords<\/a> are keywords that have few domains competing for them. Because of this, they're easier to rank for \u2014 especially for new websites or small businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Targeting low-competition keywords is one of the best ways to achieve a quick SEO win because you can rank fast<\/strong> and high<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You just need to know how to find them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Luckily, that\u2019s easy with LowFruits<\/a>, which helps you find low-competition keywords in mere minutes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/lowfruits-homepage-1024x554.jpg\" "\\"LowFruits")
<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s how it works:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Navigate to the KWFinder<\/a> tool and enter a seed keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/kwfinder-search-blank-1024x240.jpg\" "\\"LowFuits")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n2. Select how you want to view your keyword report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tip:<\/em><\/strong> Typically, I\u2019d advise the second option, which is to analyze all high-intent keywords in one go. High-intent means users are ready to take action, making them great for generating leads and conversions. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, in this example, I don\u2019t want to use 3.5K credits on keyword analyses, so I\u2019ll select the first option to access all keyword ideas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Options](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/dog-food-kwfinder-search-890x1024.jpg\" "\\"View")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n3. Once you\u2019re in the report, set the SERP Difficulty Score (SD) filter<\/strong> to a max of 1<\/strong>. (SD is on a scale of 1 to 3, with 1 being the easiest.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"SERP](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/serp-difficulty-filter-1024x473.jpg\" "\\"SERP")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n4. Check the keywords you want to analyze and click SERP Extract<\/strong>. This action will populate keyword data we\u2019ll use to determine which keywords to prioritize and target.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"SERP](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/serp-extract-1024x342.jpg\" "\\"SERP")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n5. The right columns will now have keyword data. Now, click the Volume<\/strong> column to sort your report by descending search volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Volume](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/kwfinder-volume-1024x350.jpg\" "\\"Sort")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n6. Your list will now have low-competition keywords<\/strong> with high search volumes<\/strong> at the top. For this final step, pay attention to the Weak Spots<\/strong> column.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Weak Spots are low-authority domains ranking in the top 10 search results. These are competitors you can easily outrank<\/strong>. (The more weak spots there, the better your chances of ranking high in search results.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"List](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/quick-seo-wins-low-competition-keywords-1024x380.jpg\" "\\"Low-Competition")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFrom this 5-minute process<\/strong> alone, I generated over 200 low-competition keywords<\/strong> related to \u201cdog food.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you were to repeat the process for a new seed keyword<\/a>, you could have thousands of low-competition keywords in no time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Targeting these keywords in your content equals faster rankings<\/strong> and higher positions<\/strong> in SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Leverage Keyword Clusters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Keyword clusters<\/a> are the secret weapon of SEO pros.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the best part is you don\u2019t need years of SEO experience to use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A keyword cluster groups related keywords<\/strong> with the same search intent<\/a> together. The idea is to create a group of keywords you can target on a single web page to maximize its visibility<\/strong> in search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a highly effective method for extending the impact of one piece of content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, here\u2019s the caveat: <\/strong>If you don\u2019t have a keyword clustering tool, you can do it manually in a spreadsheet. However, this can take significant time, which you likely don\u2019t have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The good news: <\/strong>LowFruits has a cluster feature that automatically groups your keywords for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When viewing a keyword report, click on the Cluster<\/strong> tab at the top of the page. This will change your view and show the main clusters for your report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the example below, we have 19 keyword clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Keyword](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/keyword-clusters-lowfruits-1024x489.jpg\" "\\"LowFruits")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nEach cluster could benefit from its own web page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, you want to see the keywords within<\/em> the cluster to inform your content optimization strategy<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To do this, click on any of the clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LowFruits will open a list of keywords within your chosen cluster. You could these keywords on your web page, maximizing its visibility in search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Keyword](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/keyword-cluster-example-1024x428.jpg\" "\\"Example")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIf we didn\u2019t have this tool, this process would take hours. And if you\u2019re doing a serious clustering strategy, days or weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But with the LowFruits KW Clustering<\/a> feature, it\u2019s done in seconds<\/strong>. You just have to open and view the reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Craft and Include FAQs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Now that you know some quick SEO wins for keyword research<\/a>, let\u2019s move on to content optimizations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the easiest things you can do to rank in SERP features<\/a>, which are enhanced search listings, is to include FAQs<\/strong> on your web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQs answer popular user questions in a format that\u2019s easy to view and digest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And almost any page can benefit from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Whether it\u2019s a product page, giving additional product details, or a blog post that recaps some of the main points from the article, FAQs have a chameleon-like ability to serve users in a variety of contexts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At LowFruits, we use FAQs on our homepage:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/lowfruits-homepage-faqs-1024x630.jpg\" "\\"LowFruits")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd our blogs:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Local](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/local-keyword-research-faqs.jpg\" "\\"Example")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAnd we do it because we know they work<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
FAQs have several benefits, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Creating a positive user experience<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Providing additional keyword opportunities<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ranking in Google\u2019s People Also Ask<\/a> (PAA) box (shown below)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Here\u2019s an example of what it looks like to rank in PAA box<\/strong> from our friends at All in One SEO<\/a> (AIOSEO):<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Google](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/aioseo-google-paa-1024x691.jpg\" "\\"Google")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nRanking in the PAA box builds brand awareness<\/strong> and generates more clicks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The format of FAQs aligns seamlessly with PAA questions, making them a natural choice for search engines to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019d also like to mention that you should support your FAQs with FAQ schema markup<\/strong>. This is a type of structured data that makes it easy for search engines to understand your FAQs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WordPress users will be glad to know that AIOSEO has FAQ blocks<\/a> that implement FAQ automatically for you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"AIOSEO](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/aioseo-faq-block-wordpress.jpg\" "\\"AIOSEO")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nDon\u2019t have a WordPress site?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can still add schema markup to your site manually. (Albeit, this process may take a little longer if you\u2019re not familiar with HTML code.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Use a Table of Contents<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You might be doing this already without even knowing it\u2019s good for SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Including a table of contents<\/strong> (TOC) is a great way to provide users with a clear outline<\/strong> of your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A well-structured TOC can help users find and navigate the information they need quickly. This fosters a positive page experience<\/strong>, reducing bounce rates and increasing engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also helps search engines understand the main topic and subtopics of your page, which can encourage rankings for relevant queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When creating a table of contents, use the subheadings<\/strong> from your article or page. You should also include jump links<\/strong>, which take users to that section when they click it from the TOC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Include Internal Links<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Internal linking<\/strong> is the process of linking from one page of your website to another. It\u2019s a core SEO best practice<\/a> and helps search engines understand how your website is interconnected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well-optimized internal links can also support your keyword strategy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
By optimizing the anchor text<\/a> for your link, you provide context for search engines about the topic and keywords of the linked page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nAnchor text is the clickable text of a hyperlink.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
As for how to make internal linking a quick win for SEO, you need to make it a habit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get familiar with the content on your website and learn to recognize linking opportunities while writing<\/strong>. This strategy folds internal linking into your content creation process seamlessly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also doesn\u2019t take any additional time<\/strong> because it\u2019s as easy as hyperlinking the anchor text when you spot an opportunity. It\u2019s literal seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
WordPress users, you\u2019re in luck because AIOSEO has a Link Assistant<\/a> that recommends internal links for your content. All you have to do is click Add Link<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
(It even populates the anchor text for you, but you can also customize it.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Link](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/inbound-internal-link-suggestions-aioseo-1024x591.jpg\" "\\"Link")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\n6. Demonstrate E-E-A-T<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Google E-E-A-T<\/a> stands for E<\/strong>xperience, E<\/strong>xpertise, A<\/strong>uthoritativeness, and T<\/strong>rustworthiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s a framework content creators and Google Search Quality Raters use to assess content quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Google](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/google-eeat-1024x698.png\" "\\"Google")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe idea of E-E-A-T can sound abstract to many website owners, but really it\u2019s about demonstrating your expertise and knowledge in a particular subject area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There are a few ways you can do this:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Write in the first person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Align your content with search intent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Use author bios to showcase your background.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Encourage customers to leave reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
None of these optimizations take significant time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In fact, each task is often part of a larger strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example, writing in first person simply requires you to stop using \u201cwe\u201d and replace it with \u201cI.\u201d Google and users love personal anecdotes and stories because it demonstrates first-hand experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This transmits positive E-E-A-T signals, which can improve your rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Make Images SEO-Friendly<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Search engines can\u2019t \u201csee\u201d images like you and me, so it\u2019s important to help search engines understand their significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You achieve this by using image SEO<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Image SEO<\/a> is the practice of optimizing your image to be understood and ranked by search engines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let\u2019s look at an example to see how it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Imagine we have a food blog, and we\u2019re working on a new post about a baked orange pie recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019ll use the following photo for our featured image:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"A](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/baked-orange-pie-1-scaled-1-1024x803.jpg\" "\\"Baked")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nHere are some quick and easy image optimizations we can make to help search engines understand this photo:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- \n
- Use a descriptive image file name:<\/strong> baked-orange-pie.jpg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Write SEO-friendly alt text:<\/strong> \u201cA baked orange pie with orange slices resting on top.\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Include image titles: <\/strong>Baked Orange Pie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Image optimizations are fast to do; they just require your attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use your focus keyword<\/a> in your optimizations to increase the likelihood of your image ranking in search results for relevant queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Image SEO can also help you rank in Google Images, where there are over 1 billion searches<\/a> every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\nTip:<\/strong> Use ImageObject schema markup to get rich snippets in SERPs, too.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
8. Check for Content Gaps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Content gaps are areas where your competitors are ranking, and you\u2019re not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But how do you know what your competitors are ranking for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s easy with a keyword extraction tool<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Keyword extraction tools allow you to find competitors\u2019 keywords<\/a> and get insights into their content strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With LowFruits, all you have to do is enter your competitor(s) domains into the Keyword Extractor<\/a>. Select the Ranking<\/strong> tab at the top, and click Extract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/extract-competitor-ranking-keywords-1024x441.jpg\" "\\"LowFruits")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nLowFruits will generate a report of your competitors\u2019 top-ranking keywords, which you can download to your computer or open in LowFruits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/extraction-report-1024x257.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nGetting one of these reports takes under 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll need to invest more time into analyzing the results against your rankings to find the best content gaps to pursue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9. Track Your Keyword Rankings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t know where you\u2019re currently ranking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With LowFruits Rank Tracker<\/a>, you\u2019ll always know your top-ranking keywords and their positions in SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It only takes a few minutes to set up (you just upload or paste your keywords into the tool), then LowFruits will fetch your rankings automatically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You\u2019ll get this data in a user-friendly dashboard, like the one below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"LowFruits](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/lowfruits-rank-tracker-1-1024x634.jpg\" "\\"Rank")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nYou can expand any tracked keywords to view how their positions have changed over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LowFruits will also show you the top 10 URLs currently ranking in search results for that keyword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Rank](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/rank-tracker-4-1024x476.jpg\" "\\"Position")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe best rank tracker tools<\/a> make monitoring keyword rankings a breeze, and that\u2019s exactly what LowFruits does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You don\u2019t have to manually search for your position for each keyword or write down its position every time you check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LowFruits collects all this data for you<\/strong>, saving you valuable time and informing your SEO strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
10 Claim Your Google Business Profile<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Google Business Profile<\/a> (GBP) is a free tool<\/strong> you can use to enhance your business\u2019 visibility in local search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It allows you to display important details like your address, hours, and contact information directly in SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Google](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/google-business-profile-1024x590.jpg\" "\\"Google")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt can also help you appear in Google Maps<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
![\"Business](\"https:\/\/lowfruits.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/local-business-google-maps-1024x487.jpg\" "\\"GBP")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nFor local businesses, a GBP is essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, they\u2019re really easy to set up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get started, go to google.com\/business<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, click Manage Now<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You'll be given an option to log in with an existing Gmail address or to create a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From there, follow the rest of the prompts. They\u2019re clear and easy to follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can add business details, photos, offers, and more. If you add more than the required information, it should take only 30 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
