Imagine knowing exactly what people are looking for in your online business niche. Imagine knowing the exact way your competitor most successfully wins his customers. Imagine being the first choice for a five-digit number of potential customers every month.

And all this with a few correctly placed clicks. Sounds unimaginable? That’s exactly what SEO is.

SEO allows you to focus on long-term traffic from highly targeted, organic visitors who guarantee a strong level of authority within their own niche. Here are five ways to start improving your SEO now.

1. Patience Is The Key

SEO does not happen overnight. You should always keep in mind that SEO does not deliver immediate results, but it does deliver long-term results. The newer a website is, the longer it can take to build trust and authority on Google, especially since keeping SEO up to date is always an ongoing process.

The basis for good SEO is to get an overview of the growth, development and content of your website and of the search behavior of your target group. This is important in order to know exactly where to start in order to improve your rankings and, therefore, conversion.

2. The Google Search Console Is A Good Place To Start

The Google Search Console is a combination of Google SEO tools and reporting apps. It offers data and configuration control for your website, as well as a variety of metrics such as clicks, impressions, conversion, top keywords, top articles, sitemap, page speed, indexing and website errors. So the Search Console is the closest link to Google and Google‘s interpretation of your webpage that you can get right away.

With this brief overview of the most important data and metrics, we can now go straight to the core of SEO: content. The more content you create around a topic, the more likely you are to meet the open questions and interests of your target group. And this is exactly what Google can register and how it will reward us with a good ranking. You move up in the Google search results for a particular search query (keyword). This is because Google is also pursuing its own primary goal of satisfying the Google user and fulfilling their search query in the best possible way.
