An On-page SEO site teardown — Kyle Roof // PageOptimizer Pro (POP)

Kyle Roof, Founder of PageOptimizer Pro, talks about the value of an SEO agency. When Google gets to a website, it can’t determine legitimacy just by looking at it. Instead, Google has to find different signals within the site to understand what it is about so that it can drive relevant traffic to the website. Today, Kyle goes through an on-page SEO site teardown of the MarTech podcast website.

Show Notes

  • 02:34
    Kyles assessment of the MarTech website
    A potential strategy for the Martech website could be to optimize for the names of the guests on the podcast. These are usually easier and cheaper terms to rank for.
  • 06:54
    What Kyle thinks should be done with the MarTech website
    The focus should be on going after the speakers names. That way, the website could get into the podcast carousel or clicks that direct them to the MarTech podcast when people search for that speakers name on Google.
  • 08:32
    What other steps can be taken on the MarTech website to rank for speaker names
    The site is already doing well in terms of SEO by having the speaker's name in the page title and H1. The site also has good semantic order in terms of H1 to H4 tags lining up correctly.
  • 10:32
    Optimizing H tags for SEO and relevance
    The speaker's name is well placed in H tags on the MarTech site, but the footer H tags are unrelated and should be changed or removed. H tags should be used to target terms the website wants to rank for, not just for styling or size purposes.

    Adding person schema to improve search engine understanding and ranking
    By adding person schema and identifiers like links to the person's social media pages, you help Google to identify and differentiate the person from others with the same name. This improves the chances of ranking higher in search results when people search for the person's name.
  • 13:54
    Using multiple schemas to boost search engine visibility
    Schemas can be layered. So, in the case of the MarTech website, multiple schemas can be used to indicate that its a podcast and who the speaker is.
  • 14:18
    Tips for improving a podcasts SEO
    It is recommended that you focus on cheap and impactful changes, such as adjusting H tags and implementing schema to help search engines understand the content of the page. Schema can be set up once and will automatically populate on future pages.

    Using your homepage as a business card
    For the MarTech site, company and ownership information should be on homepage to signal legitimacy to Google. Theres also an opportunity to piggyback on the brands name to win more martech search terms by optimising properly for the brand name on the homepage.

Quotes

  • "The page title is the title that search engines see. And that's what they'll put into search results. The H1 is the title that humans see. And those are the top two places to put a keyword." -Kyle Roof, Founder, PageOptimizer Pro

  • "The important point with your H tags is, don't use them for style, don't use them for size. Anytime you're using an H tag, you want it to be very specific towards something you're trying to rank for." -Kyle Roof, Founder, PageOptimizer Pro

  • "Schema, while a pain in the ass, is a one time thing. You can have it set up once and then it auto populates." -Kyle Roof, Founder, PageOptimizer Pro

  • "Think about your homepage as your business card. Within that, you can talk about who you are, anybody else that's associated with you, and what you do." -Kyle Roof, Founder, PageOptimizer Pro
