Hovering your finger over the big red "launch" button for your new website? Hold off for just a second (or 660 of them, rather). There may be SEO considerations you haven't accounted for yet, from a keyword-to-URL content map to sweeping for crawl errors to setting up proper tracking. In today's Whiteboard Friday, Rand covers five big boxes you need to check off before finally setting that site live.

Video Transcription
Howdy, Moz fans, and welcome to another edition of Whiteboard Friday. This week we're going to talk about launching a new website and the SEO process that you've got to go through. Now, it's not actually that long and cumbersome. But there are a few things that I put into broad categories, where if you do these as you're launching a new site or before you launch that new site, your chances of having success with SEO long term and especially in those first few months is going to go way up.
1. Keyword to URL map for your content
So let's get started with number one here. What I'm suggesting that you do is, as you look across the site that you've built, go and do some keyword research. There are a lot of Whiteboard Fridays and blog posts that we've written here at Moz about great ways to do keyword research. But do that keyword research and create a list that essentially maps all of the keywords you are initially targeting to all of the URLs, the pages that you have on your new website.
So it should look something like this. It's got the URL, so RandsAnimals.com, targeting the keyword "amazing animals," and here's the page title and here's the meta description. Then, I've got RandsAnimals.com/lemurs, which is my page about lemurs, and that's targeting "lemurs" and "lemur habits." There's the title.
You want to go through these and make sure that if you have an important keyword that you have not yet targeted, you do so, and likewise, that if you've got a URL, a page on your website that you have not yet intentionally targeted a keyword with, you make sure to do that as well. This can be a great way to go through a small site in the early stages and make sure that you've got some terms and phrases that you're actually targeting. This will be also helpful when you do your rank tracking and your on-page optimization later on.
2. Accessibility, crawl, and UX
So what I want you to do here is to ask yourself:
I. "Are the pages and the content on my website accessible to search engines?"
There are some great ways to check these. You can use something like Screaming Frog or Google Search Console. You could use Moz Pro, or OnPage.org, to basically run a scan of your site and make sure that crawlers can get to all the pages, that you don't have duplicate content, that you don't have thin content or pages that are perceived to have no content at all, you don't have broken links, you don't have broken pages, all that kind of good stuff.
II. "Is the content accessible to all audiences, devices, and browsers?"
Next, we're going to ask not about search engines and their crawlers, but about the audience, the human beings and whether your content is accessible to all the audiences, devices, and browsers that it could be. So this could mean things like screen readers for blind users, mobile devices, desktop devices, laptops, browsers of all different kinds. You're going to want to use a tool like a browser checker to make sure that Chrome, Firefox, and... What's Internet Explorer called now? Oh, man. They changed it. Microsoft Edge. Make sure that it works in all of them.
I like that I think that there's a peanut gallery who's going to yell it out. Like you're watching this at lunch and you're thinking, "Rand, if I yell it to you now, it won't be recorded." I know. I know.
III. "Do those pages load fast from everywhere?"
So I could use a tool like Google Speed Test. I can also do some proxy checking to make sure that from all sorts of regions, especially if I'm doing international targeting or if I know that I'm going to be targeting rural regions that my pages load fast from everywhere.
IV. "Is the design, UI, visuals, and experience enjoyable and easy for all users?"
You can do that with some in-house usability testing. You could do it informally with friends and family and existing customers if you have them. Or you could use something like Five Second Test or UsabilityHub to run some more formal testing online. Sometimes this can reveal things in your navigation or your content that's just stopping people from having the experience that you want — that's very easy to fix.
3. Setup of important services and tracking
So there's a bunch of stuff that you just need to set up around a website. Those include:
- Web analytics - Google Analytics is free and very, very popular. But you could also use something like Piwik, or if you're bigger, Omniture. You're going to want to do a crawl. OnPage or Moz Pro, or some of these other ones will check to make sure that your analytics are actually loaded on all of your pages.
- Uptime tracking - If you haven't checked them out, Pingdom has some very cheap plans for very early-stage sites. Then, if you get bigger, they can get more expensive and more sophisticated.
- Retargeting and remarketing - Even if you don't want to pay now and you're not going to use any of the services, go ahead and put the retargeting pixels from at least Facebook and Google onto your website, on all of your pages, so that those audiences are accessible to you later on in the future.
- Set up some brand alerts - The cheapest option is Google Alerts, which is free, but it's not very good at all. If you're using Moz Pro, there's Fresh Web Explorer alerts, which is great. Mention.net is also good, Talkwalker, Trackur. There's a number of options there that are paid and a little bit better.
- Google Search Console - If you haven't set that up already, you're going to want to do that, as well as Bing Webmaster Tools. Both of those can reveal some errors to you. So if you have accessibility issues, that's a good free way to go.
- Moz/Ahrefs/SEMRush/Searchmetrics/Raven/etc. - If you are doing SEO, chances are good that you're going to want to set up some type of an SEO tool to track your rankings and do a regular crawl, show you competitive opportunities and missteps, potentially show you link-building opportunities, all that kind of stuff. I would urge you to check out one of probably these five. There are a few other ones. But these five are pretty popular — Moz, Ahrefs, SEMRush, Searchmetrics, or Raven. Those are some of the best known ones certainly out there.
- Social and web profiles - Again, important to set those up before you launch your new site, so that no one goes and jumps on the name of your Facebook page, or your Pinterest page, or your Instagram profile page, or your YouTube page, or your SlideShare page. I know you might be saying, "But Rand, I don't use SlideShare." No, not today. But you might in the future, and trust me, you're going to want to claim Rand's Animals on YouTube and SlideShare. You're going to want to claim whatever your website's name is. I'll go claim this one later. But you've got to set all those up, because you don't want someone else taking them later. I would urge you to go down the full list of all the social media sites out there, all the web profiles out there, just to make sure that you've got your brand secured.
4. Schema, rich snippets, OpenGraph, etc
Optimization in general, more broadly. So this is where I'm essentially going through these URLs and I'm making sure, "Hey, okay. I know I've targeted these keywords and I already did sort of my page title meta description. But let me check if there are other opportunities."
Are there content opportunities or image search opportunities? Do I have rich snippet opportunities? Like maybe, this is probably not the case, but I could have user review stars for my Rand's Animals website. I don't know if people particularly love this lemur GIF versus that lemur GIF. But those can be set up on your site, and you can see the description of how to do that on Google and Bing. They both have resources for that. The same is true for Twitter and Facebook, who offer cards so that you show up correctly in there. If you're using OpenGraph, I believe that also will correctly work on LinkedIn and other services like that. So those are great options.
5. Launch amplification & link outreach plan
So one of the things that we know about SEO is that you need links and engagement and those types of signals in order to rank well. You're going to want to have a successful launch day and launch week and even a launch month. That means, asking the question in advance:
I. "Who will help amplify your launch and why? Why are they going to do this?"
If you can identify, "These people, I know they personally want to help out," or, "They are friends and family. I have business relationships with them. They're customers of mine. They're journalists who promised to cover this. They are bloggers who care a lot about this subject and need stuff to write about." Whatever it is, if you can identify those people, create a list, and start doing that direct outreach, that is certainly something that you should do. I would plan in advance for that, and I would warn folks of when you were going to do that launch. That way, when launch day rolls around, you have some big, exciting news to announce. Two weeks after you launch to say, "Hey, I launched a new website a couple weeks ago," you're no longer news. You're no longer quite as special, and therefore your chances of coverage go down pretty precipitously after the first few days.
II. "What existing relationships, profiles, and sites should I update to create buzz (and accuracy)?"
I would also ask what existing relationships and websites and profiles do you already have that you can and should update to create buzz and actually to create accuracy. So this would be things like everything from your email signature to all your social profiles that we've talked about, both the ones you've claimed and the ones that you personally have. You should go and update your LinkedIn. You should go and update your Twitter page. You should go and update Facebook. All of those kinds of things, you may want to go and update. About.me if you have a profile there, or if you're a designer, maybe your Dribbble profile, whatever you've got.
*Then, you should also be thinking about, "Do I have content that I've contributed across the web over the years, on all sorts of other websites, where if I went and said, 'Hey, I've got a new site. Could you point to that new site, instead of my old one, or to my new site that I've just launched, instead of my old employer who I've left?'" you can do that as well, and it's certainly a good idea.
III. "What press coverage, social coverage, or influencer outreach can I do?"
The last thing I would ask about are people who are maybe more distant from you, but press coverage, social coverage, or influencer outreach, similar to the, "Who will help you amplify and why?" You should be able to make a list of those folks, those outlets, find some email addresses, send a pitch if you've got one, and start to build those relationships.
Launch day is a great reason to do outreach. When you're launching something new is the right time to do that, and that can help you get some amplification as well.
All right. Hopefully, when you launch your new site, you're going to follow this checklist, you're going to dig into these details, and you're going to come away with a much more successful SEO experience.
If you've launched a website and you see things that are missing from this list, you see other recommendations that you've got, please, by all means, leave them in the comments. We'd love to chat about them.
We'll see you again next week for another edition of Whiteboard Friday. Take care.
Hi Rand,
How are you? You also need to do SWOT Analysis which is strength, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. As If competitor A has good on-page SEO than yours, competitor B has high profile back links, competitor C has good content and web-copy optimization. These are the Strengths of your competitors and your weakness. Then you can also find good opportunities in competitor profiles like if they are using guest posting and editorial links and you are not using this technique. So you should go for it as well. Threats are your competitor is beating you on the SERP by high DA, PA and other 200 SEO Factors.
Strengths
Weaknesses
Opportunities
Threats
So this is the Basic SEO Audit of your website which includes, Technical SEO Audit, Onpage Audit, Backlinks Audit, Content Audit, SERP Audit, Social Media Audit and PPC Audit.
Good Topic Rand!!!
Keep writing the good SEO Stuff!!!
Good point. Thanks for your information.
Additionally, a few other strategy concepts are Porter's Five Forces (Rivalry, Threat to New Entrants, Threat to Substitutes, Bargaining Power of Buyers, and Bargaining Power of Suppliers) PEST Analysis (political, economic, social, and technological factors). These are two great that can be used when creating strategic marketing plans.
Thanks Rand for sharing this very useful checklist for a new website.
An hour of planning can save you hours a day.
I always suggest my clients make a checklist before they start a new website and use a spreadsheet for Keyword URL mapping. An example of Keyword URL mapping sheet.
Each page of a website needs to be optimized for only a few keywords for it to have a chance to rank highly for any one keyword phrase search.
Using keyword mapping process, I make specific on-page SEO recommendations to help make the page more relevant to the mapped keywords.
It is important to do research and find out keywords having good searches and then map priority keywords to get maximum results.
For those who are looking for help, they can use this Keyword URL Mapping template.
Thanks for sharing this tool. I downloaded it and will give it a look. :)
great!
thanks
Thanks for the template Sadaf. It's always interesting to learnt how other webmasters are working on SEO and how they are checking that everything goes well ;)
This probably comes under the Accessibility Checklist, but checkout the ROBOTS.TXT file.
A while back I was hired to take an independent review of a website that had been launched 6 months earlier, but the business could not even get their website to rank just for the brand name. Heated exchanges were on the rise between the company and the web agency, the web agency claiming there was nothing wrong with their new website, meanwhile the client wanted his £4000 back that he had paid for his WORPRESS site.
In just 10 minutes of starting the audit - Oh look - NO FOLLOW, NO INDEX - and the agency said they had conducted over 150 checks before they released the site - OOPS!
Unfortunately, for the small medium business community we are in effect asking them to do an acceptance check before parting with all their money, but many will not know what to look for or where. So, I just thought I would add this one to the list.
Snap! I had (nearly) the exact same experience this month! Gotta love finding simple solutions :)
Hi Rand,
Thank for another great session of the WBF, you have covered all the aspects the checklist for SEO of a new website. Anybody who is starting afresh with website SEO must do proper analysis of the website Target audience and keywords. These keywords should include the appropriate phrases, as this list would help in result analysis, and also going to be your go-to list for tuning the SEO after analysis.
Thanks again for all your work.
Regards,
VJ
Hi Vijay, Nice to see you here on Moz. I am your follower other platforms like Quora, love your answers there...
For Digital Marketers, it's an important to understand XYZ business first. I saw, many of guys start working on SEO activities without having business sound. They need to start with thinking like a customer who want an appropriate services on Google. Then Look into some of websites, get ideas and pick good things. Now think, what query you will type to find exact services, believe me it is your main keyword. Use variations using Ahrefs, SEMRush and Keyword Planner. And obviously follow Rand's checklist. :)
'For Digital Marketers, it's an important to understand XYZ business first.'
Exactly, and that's one of the main problems in marketers, in my opinion. Even harder in web designers or developers.
When working with companies they don't care about being in google tp 3 or web visitors... they care about sales, customers and profits. I talked to a customer last week to offer a webpage located in the first position in google after a year of work, their questions were all related with leads, sales and profitabilty. Different languages that we need to learn.
Well elaborated Juan! In my 6 year of experience of SEO client handling, I faced same concerns. At the end clients don't care what activities we do, how many back-links we generated, ect. They only focus, how many leads generated through our efforts and I feel, this mentality will kill SEO profession one day. Clients need to understand the SEO first and then hire someone.
'mentality will kill SEO profession one day. Clients need to understand the SEO first and then hire someone.'
I see many seos just focused on being #1 in google. Great, but for a business there's much more to do. SEO must be part of a global online marketing strategy, and the main objective must be generate leads and clients. So that's our main objective too.
Regards from Spain!
Juan, I know SEO enables to reach relevant leads but still we need to separate Leads generation and SEO. SEO is not a lead generation process. It improves our website's prominence on search engine listing, but it does not improve conversions. It cannot convince someone to subscribe to a mailing list or purchase a product from the website. It is totally up to the content, quality, website construction, and customer service to accomplish that.
Totally agree, Juan. Currently all major web sites need a multidisciplinary team to optimize all the resources: fucking conversion, SEO, loading speed, design, etc. Unfortunately there are many web developers who claim that these things do not count
Of course they count :) It's important to educate business managers to understand what we can do for them. I consider myself a good seo and sem manager based on my results, but I am not a programmer, a web designer, web developer... I can do all these tasks, more or less, but I am not a proffesional.
The fact business managers ask for 'everything' for a few hundred euros... and that's not possible and we need to make a great effort to tell them what we can do for them, when they'll get the results, and the benefits they'll get from it.
Regards.
Hi Rand,
Great Whiteboard Friday, as usual. It happens that for many of us, starting with a new project that we forget the basics. Thanks for the checklist!
I found a few cases of "no index plus no follow" for the whole website, which of course made my day - easy money. I laughed the rest of the day.
I have to say that the best option is, to fix it asap of course. Although, ever mention exactly the "what was what" due to clients do not like to know that they forgot an elemental and/or starting a relationship having "bad foot" with his developer, who forgot to check the point.
My tips towards choosing the right SEO companies
Look for Pay for performance companies
– Lot of companies these days have started charging the clients only when their website reaches a certain rank lets say top 30. The advantage with this approach is first you know they actually will work towards getting your site ranked or else they don’t get paid. Secondly, you can get some free work done from them before they will actually charge you.
Keep track of your rankings yourself– If you don’t see any change in rankings in 3 months then there is something wrong and you should check with your SEO company as to what’s going on. Even if they are not charging you but you are losing time which in effect means losing business and eventually affects the bottom line.
Ask for monthly reporting– Always ask for monthly reports from your SEO company as to what your rankings are each month and keep on top of it. At the end of the day its your website and for the SEO company you might be just another client among several others. Plus the companies also pay more attention to clients who keep on top of things.
Choosing Small or Big Company ?– As far as I am concerned it doesn’t matter as long as they are getting the work done in the right manner. I have seen some small companies doing great work since they are more dedicated than the red tape based big companies. Also, at the end of the day you can change the company based on the results.
No Contract– No contract company is ideal since you are not burdened by the 6 month or more contract and you might have to shell out money without seeing the actual results. With this type of company you know they are working for you or else they might lose you as there is no contract.
Pricing– Off course this is the most important thing. But then you get what you pay for. So its a catch 22 situation especially for small businesses who want to find the fine balance between money and services. But I would say anything between $200 – $400/month should be ideal for small businesses to invest in SEO.
Do I need SEO ?– Absolutely, since this is one thing that has a great return on investment(ROI). The only problem is time and it could be 6 months before you could even see it start to pay off. So unless you choose the right SEO company you might end up paying for something which never gave you any result.
Without creating an adwords or facebook paid campaign can I generate a pixel? Could you please explain the whole process of "go ahead and put the retargeting pixels from at least Facebook and Google onto your website, on all of your pages, so that those audiences are accessible to you later on in the future."
Nonetheless, very well explaind.
Great article, Rand! Thank you for the great advice.
Hi Rand
thanks to point out all the Major factor Those are forgotten generally by every one in starting when lunching a website i am also planning new website. i will make sure that i follow every step that you mention in this post.
Great post Rand!!! This is something we all need when starting a new project.
I guess every seo must have a list like this one. You just helped to increase mine :) Thank you very much.
Hello,
Your SEO Checklist is outstanding, it covers up all the factors that responsible for site SEO. These steps help me a lot to improve my site's SEO.
Awesome presentation once again Rand. As a matter of fact, I am building a new site for a client and will be working on the points covered in this presentation. Keep up the good work and thank again for sharing.
It's also important to mention in this SEO Check-list a tool such as Adwords. In my opinion, beginners don't know a lot about SEO and they sometimes are confused between SEO and SEM. So, in the check-list, into the Keyword Research section we could add a line to reach good and new keywords from Adwords (Keywords planner).
Consequently, beginners will know the differences between SEO and SEM and will learn how they can choose between both strategies in order to complete the SEO check-list. Thanks!
With regards to crawling and speed, what's the perspective as far as using AngularJS to build the site? I have been having issues with getting tools like ScreamingFrog to crawl a site, but Google seems to have no issues.
With speed, I'm seeing very low speeds for the home page through all the different tools, but to the user the changing of pages is almost instataneous. How does this balance?
Thank you for sharing this very useful article, most especially to newbie like me. Hope I can integrate it to my new blog @panayanon
I read your post and it's very interesting as well as very useful for me. thanks for such a nice post you can also visit this blog….Ramsha Carpet and More is india's largest customize rugs manufacturer. Customize your carpet the way you want.
Thanks Rand,
We have been launched for just about a year now but this checklist is still very worthwhile. I am definitely putting some of these site checking tools into my SEO toolbox and regular routine. It's still hard to believe how many tools there are out there and how many steps there are in SEO.
Your SEO Article is beautiful and your all advise are learn able and i am also follow them because i think your post and all your topic are Logic able and all the new marketer also knowing a good knowledge about this post
Good article and have clearly highlighted some of the most important checklist which every webmaster should consider checking before launching a new website. I would like to add up one more point, which is understanding the structure of the website and prevent the chances of indexing duplicate contents by search engines. Duplicate contents harms your SEO and your overall ranking as well. You should also consider preventing search engines from crawling some important and and secure urls which are meant for private use.
Hi Rand,
Thanks for this checklist, I am planning to launch a new website and all the valuable checklist helps me a lot.
perfect guide to refresh your memories or learn something new if you are beginner !
Useful SEO checklist for new website. Thanks Rand!
Ditto - I was expecting more of the traditional Technical SEO tickboxes to complete, but this covers all the important bits in a nice easy to follow read.
Hi Rand,
I would also add some information about the target group and personas. I think it's also important for SEO because the keyword research would differ according to each target group.
Thanks for the article.
Best,
Martin
Hii,
This is really nice and very informative.It is very helpful for my website Bumper Bonanza .
Thank you.
Hi Rand,
Thanks for this, we are about to launch a new website, but I have a question regarding the step for accessible to search crawlers. We have our new site hosted locally right now, will Moz Pro or Onpage.org work with our local link?
Great stuff and thanks for the Trackur shoutout! :)
Heeeey, that's exactly how I do it! Thank you! I'm more confident now ;)
Very useful checklist for a new website. I would like to add:
1. XML and HTML sitemap
2.Most important content within easy reach of the visitors and the important content is above the fold on each page
You can also use Xenu to check for broken links
Another good resource for new websites about to launch is The Best Damn Web Marketing Checklist and the accompanying cheat sheet by Stoney de Geyter of Pole Position marketing.
One of the best and most applicable Whiteboard Fridays yet. Much appreciated Rand! If a local business is using this checklist for their website, I would also strongly encourage Moz Local to help establish some NAP listings as well.
I would keep it simple (and clean) using Google Tag Manager in order to implement Analytics. Then it would be so easy to setup Pixels (and other stuff) as soon as you need it.
Anyway, it is always handy to have a checklist like that one, Rand.
Thanks for the content, the planning of the site, it requires a lot of patience, more patience, since we are able to make our own guide, since I understand that a web site design will never be the same as another one, THANK YOU
Thanks for sharing, Rand. These are some great tips. This might be more of a post-launch check, but with some websites still getting redesigned to be responsive or mobile-friendly, it may also be good to check Google Search Console after you launch your website and track your mobile-friendliness. This is especially true for large sites who may have thousands of pages with poor mobile usability. Hopefully those numbers drop after your redesign and maybe, maybe even see some bumps in other metrics.
I'm at the beginning of my journey with my website and it's very difficult to focus on every detail so this is a particularly good SEO checklist to follow, thanks Rand! My biggest issue is finding free tools as for the moment we have an extremely limited budget.
Thanks for this Rand as I am launching a website soon. I will definetly check these things.
Hey Rand,
This post is extremely relevant since I just launched my company's new website yesterday. I mapped all the 301 redirects and did all of the technical SEO and submitted the sitemap to google search console under the https and non-www property. I am concerned because the new site has the same domain and the non-www HTTPs property has not started the indexing process (it has been 24 hours). How long does this process normally take? The current index has all the old pages that 301 redirect to their respective new page.
Do I have to do anything else to help google map the 301 redirects?
Thanks a ton for all the Whiteboard Fridays,
Mike
Thanks - great video.
To monitor Twitter you can use my site https://www.MyTweetAlerts.com - create alerts for your brand or keywords that are important for your business.
Great timing as I'm about to launch a new site! All pretty basic points but I'm glad to have this refresher as I might have forgotten a thing or two!
Another good way is to test and watch your meta descriptions. A good description can easily double your CTR and it might take you just a few minutes to update it. You should also always use image alt text to help Google identify your media content. Also don't forget to submit your sitemap to Google Search Console. Here you can find 45 additional tips, very detailed checklist (many of the are generic others are WordPress focused).
People always does hurry when it comes to launch new website. In the full of excitement they forgets to check basic needs of projects.
One point I would like to add before launch we should check our competitors insights that will give us right direction where to go. I always checked my competitor's UI, Targeted keywords and gaps that they left.
BTW, Rand again great checklist.
Hello Rand,
This is a great Whiteboard and the tips are great.
I have a question if you could help me out a bit with a website of mine because 1 month ago I received a manual penalty because of "cloacking and gibbersih content". The webiste is [thequotes] [dot] [com] and I was curios if you share the same opinion as me. My opinion is that the site is penalized because it has content behind images or hidden links(and I mean the url is not declared as is served by ajax with "#"). Could you and your readers help me out a bit with identifying the clocking problem?
Kind regards
Thanks Rand. Helpful list for launching a new site
Hey Rand, WOW! Great post. As I am looking to launch my startup and services website very soon.
Thanks a lot. Why not do some WhiteBoards on Brand building for a new startup and businesses like IT services. Which is basically offering IT services globally.
Thanks for sharing.. All points are important but i want to know schema is important for new website?
The steps are important from top to bottom in making a successful website. You know for some people these might be the repetition of same things over and over again. However these all are very essential in providing enough air to sail your website further into the ranking.
In my opinion UI is the main ingredient in starting a love or hate relationship with your target audience. People will be likely to forget the website in a flash due to poor UI. Creating consistently juicy content and updating older stuff can make the website successful for you and entertaining for consumers.
The main issue for smaller businesses and websites may arise when graduating to a higher level and incorporating advanced digital marketing strategies which may cost money.
Thanks once again for sharing Rand. I am always looking forward for a brand new advice and latest insights from you.
Hello, this is a very valuable article highlighting the most important checklist for 2017 which every Digital Marketer/SEO manager should work to before launching a new website to ensure SEO sucess. Thanks for sharing.
Hi rand, good advices (as always you do). It helps me, because I have launched a new website and I have done almost things you mentioned but some ones not. Thanks
Thanks a lot Rand, very helpfull post. I`ll try to check all this checks in my site asap.
I would add one thing that, whenever you build a website and planning to do SEO, just make sure the website should not open with www & without www both, the website should open either with www or without www. Even, google will consider http and https both as two different domains. So, must check this before making any step in SEO.
And as you already mentioned and I would highlight again that developers make the site Noindex while they built the website, so it's SEO's responsibility to make the robots "Index, follow" before starting the SEO. These are small but very important steps to take care.
Thanks,
Really an interesting and useful checklist. I specially liked your idea of pre publish promotion about the launch. You clearly pointed out that not only you are to connect others and ask for a help but you also have to give them a reason to help you.
You have just added a jewel to your (already full) box of tresearus.
Thank you!
Hello Rand, Great pointers for new site. Thanks a lot.
Thanks Rand for putting light on a very fine checklist before website launch. I am going to relaunch my company website soon, will surely check these points. Good read! I have already shared it on twitter!
We should consider in mind all tips that are shared here. Thanks!
That is where doing all SEO stuff by yourself and it will take a lot of your time if you follow this route but it's worth it.
Or if you value your time and you prefer spending your time to things that matter to you, then why not try hiring people who are experts to this thing. Try googling seodataservice and see what they can do to you.
I hope by just following simple instructions or step by step guide on how to rank and get traffic to your website or blog, you will reap what you intended to get for your site.
Happy tweaking and optimizing! :)
Thanks for the tips, great stuff as usual Rand.
I have go through with all your whiteboard Friday all videos are looks like nothing new nothing to learn same story with different taglines... why?
Where to write blogs every week to improve back-linking for my website ? If I keep writing on my site or my blog site it doesn't increase my site's DA or PR.
thanks for sharing the great stuff in the form of a useful list for launching a new website.
Hi Rand,
Another great topic :) Launching a new website may seem so easy but good preparation and understanding the basics would be a big factor to achieve website goals.
Hi Rand
Thanks for this help. I wait every step that you mention can help me. Before begin with me web i saw this very easy but i have that have a better preparation
