  content for different pages, but this practice is
  a complete no no.

• If youre website has been around for a few
  years, chances are it doesnt have a responsive
  or mobile friendly design. That may not have been
  an issue then, but its a glaring weakness for
  any website now.

  your site has to be able to look and function
  well on different screen sizes.

  whole website and make it responsive. If not you
  can always hire some expert web designers to do
  it for you.

  is vital to ensure search engines index your
  pages.
• Setting these up allows you to make sure Google
  bots are actively crawling your website, without
  them you wont turn up in the search results for
  users and it will be almost impossible for anyone
  to find you by doing anything short of pasting in
  your URL.

4 Carry Out Keyword Research

• Its imperative that you carry out proper keyword
  research before you even attempt to start
  creating content.
• Brainstorm words and phrases that it would make
  sense for you to rank highly for, then run your
  list through Googles Keyword Planner tool.
• This will give you some great suggestions for
  keywords as well as search volumes for every
  keyword you would like to use.

  is a fantastic way to push your page up the
  SERPs.
• Depending on time constraints, you can generate
  content once a day or once a week more is always
  better (unless its duplicate or low quality
  content).
• This also helps to develop your credibility and
  it gives Google more pages to index.
