All I ask is you do it for 3 months straight. You may not get to 10,000 visitors from Google in 3 months as some niches are really tiny, but most of you should get there or be well on your way.

The Biggest SEO Trend You’re Ignoring

Image
The screenshot above is my Google traffic over the last 12 months. As you can see, my traffic is growing. And there are many reasons for that, but there is one trend that’s really caused the majority of my SEO growth. You might be thinking it is Ubersuggest because it makes up 22.4% of my traffic now. But Ubersuggest has been integrated into NeilPatel.com for years, so that’s not it. Sure, that is responsible for some of my growth, but it’s not responsible for it skyrocketing like it has been. So, what do you think it is? Well, I’ll give you a hint… My traffic per region Let’s look at my SEO traffic in a few different regions. Here’s my traffic in the United States over the last 12 months: Now here’s my traffic in the United Kingdom: And here are the stats for Canada: And Australia: You can see that they have all increased, but not enough to cause the big spikes. Now let’s look at some of the international markets we have been focusing on over the last few years. He...

Do Headings Really Impact Rankings?

Image
They say in SEO you need to use headings. Those can be H1, H2, or even H3 tags. But do they really impact your rankings? Sure, a lot of CMS systems put headings on each of your web pages by default. They do this with the title of the page (or blog post) and sometimes to sections within a page. But again, the real question is, do they help with rankings? I decided to run a fun experiment to find out if they really help. How the experiment worked Similar to past experiments I ran, I reached out to a portion of my email list to ask if they would like to participate. Just like how I did with the one on blog comment links and this one on link building . 4,104 of you responded wanting to participate. But unlike previous experiments, we only ran this one on websites that generated at least 100,000 visitors a month from organic search. We picked larger sites because you can easily tell if a change had an impact on traffic. With smaller sites, external factors can more easily skew re...

How to Adapt Your Marketing During the Coronavirus (COVID-19)

Image
It’s been roughly a month now since the Coronavirus started to flip our lives upside down. From having to practice social distancing and getting used to life without the outdoors to continually washing our hands and wearing masks and seeing loved ones and friends getting sick, the Coronavirus is something none of us expected. Even our businesses our suffering. Just look at the Coronavirus marketing stats I shared a few weeks ago. The results are devastating. It’s why I decided to change Ubersuggest and make it more free to help small businesses out. Since then a lot has changed and there are new opportunities that have come around when it comes to your online business and marketing activities. Opportunity #1: Help others selflessly My ad agency has thousands of clients around the world. We lost a ton, but we still have enough to see trends in what’s happening. When I saw businesses starting to lose a ton of money, I decided to give more of Ubersuggest’s premium featurs for f...
