4-Quick-Ways-to-Improve-Your-SEO-Rankings-Works-in-2023

SEO is all about the long game, slow and steady wins the race. So even though SEO is a slow and steady game, it works, but do you really have to wait that long to get the results that you want?

The answer is no.

There are quick ways to get SEO Ranking, maybe you, do not have all the results you want, but you can get immediate results. So let’s break down four tactics to get you quicker results.

#1 Find Almost Seo Ranking Phrases.

The more keyword that you rank on page one, the better off you are because no one really goes to page two. The majority of the traffic’s on page one, and ideally at the top of page one. Did you know that you can find all the terms that you’re raking somewhat well for, and quickly optimize those, so that way you can just pop up to page one?

I want you to log in to Google Search Console, click on search results, then click on the average position, and then scroll down and click on pages. Look for the pages that have an average position of 11 to 20. These are the pages that have a lot of keywords that rank on page two and can quickly move up to page one. That means they’re pretty much ranking at the top of page two. If you take those relevant keywords and make sure they’re on the webpage that it’s somewhat ranking for that term already, you’ll do better. You’ll be shocked at how many times you’ll rank for a term and it really isn’t mentioned in your title tag, your Meta description tag, or even within your content, because Google uses NLP to figure out what your content is all about, and they’ll rank you for other similar terms.

But when you add those terms within those areas that I just mentioned, your title tags, your content, and your URL, it can quickly boost your rankings. Now, keep in mind if you change your URL, you got to do a 301 redirect from your old URL to your new URL, and you got to adjust all your old internal links to make sure they’re going directly to the new URL.

#2 Add internal links.

You publish new content all the time, right? Well if you don’t, you should start doing so, but if your new content doesn’t have backlinks, it won’t rank well. Now links take a while to get, but that doesn’t mean you still can’t get results. One quick hack is to go into your older articles and modify them. Within your older articles, add a few links to your newly published articles. This way, your new content starts ranking higher, and faster. As a general rule of thumb, only modify old articles that are related to the new ones. You don’t want to add internal links unless it makes sense.

So for example, if I have a new article that I’ve just published on digital marketing and I talk about how SEO, paid ads, and social media and all these channels make up digital marketing, I may go into one of my older articles on pay-per-click, one of my older ones on SEO, one of my older ones on social media, and add links to the newer one. So general rule of thumb, I would go into three old articles that are relevant and add internal links pointing to the new articles that were just published.

#3 Optimize Your Meta Tags for Higher Seo Ranking.

You don’t have to build links to rank higher, you can just adjust your Meta tags, from your title tag to your Meta description, and even as a bonus, optimize your URLs. Here are some ways that you can do that. Titles with questions have a 14.1% higher click-through rate. You can get roughly 8.6% higher click-through for titles that contain 15 to 40 characters. So make sure that the title of your pages isn’t too long. You can also get up to a 45% increase in click-through when the exact query something is searching for is in your URL.

An example of this is if you search for the term SEO Services, I would want to make my URL https://www.dgtrendz.com/seo-services/. Power words increase click-throughs by roughly 13.9%. A great example of this is the word effortless, such as seven effortless ways to boost your rankings. Get roughly a 7.3% higher click-through rate for titles that contain emotions versus ones that don’t, and a 5.8% higher click-through if you have a meta description, so make sure you add one to each of your pages.

Titles with years generate 4.9% more clicks such as the beginners’ guide to SEO 2025 edition. Now, of course, you want to use the year that is currently within the title, and once that title goes old, you got to update that each and every single year. So in essence, if I had the year 2019, or whatever it may be, and it’s now 2022 or 2023 or 2024, I got to keep updating that year.

Evoking curiosity increases clicks by roughly 5.9%, an example of this is, the seven benefits of green tea, and number six will shock you. You’re like, “Wait, what? What’s number six? I have to click through and see what number six is.” Titles that resemble education had 10.4% more clicks, and you’re more likely to be successful if you look at the paid ads as your score based on click percentages as well, so that can give you a lot of ideas on what works, and then you could implement that within your title tag.

#4 Content is King, So Write It in Half the Time.

Look, if you can write your content half the time, in theory, you can produce more, maybe double the amount of content, and generate even more traffic. The caveat here is that the quality needs to be great, not up to par, but great, better than up to par.

If you’re up for it, and if you have the time and the energy to write a post that people will actually want to read, then I think the upside of writing more content is huge.

But there are a few caveats:

  • You need to be able to write well enough that people will enjoy reading what you write. This doesn’t mean that your writing has to be perfect – it just needs to be good enough so people can read it without getting bored or confused.
  • You also need to be able to write fast enough so that you can generate as much content as possible within a given time frame – this means you probably need some automation in place somewhere (e.g. a content generation tool like Hootsuite), which you’ll use in conjunction with setting up an assistant who will help you write high-quality articles as quickly as possible.
  • The third thing is that, unless your goal is simply to generate as much traffic as possible, your articles should be useful and helpful in some way (not just entertaining). If they aren’t, then they don’t really matter; they’re just noise and nobody cares about them except those who find them through search engines or social media channels.
