STUFF FOR YOU FROM OLGA ZARR
😱 Are your internal links sabotaging your SEO?
Most local business owners, including lawyers, are getting internal linking wrong.
If you're still using "read more" links, you're wasting valuable opportunities to signal to Google what your pages are about. Good internal links can boost your SEO by passing link equity to key pages, unlike generic links that do nothing for your rankings.
Extra Tip: Image links need alt text, just like text links need anchor text. Without it, Google has no idea what the linked page is about—just like a "read more" link. Don't let your image links go to waste.
And don't forget: external links are powerful, but only if your internal linking structure is solid. Strong internal links ensure your site's authority flows where it matters most.

$5K to $20K per Website Audit - The SEO Audit Masterclass You Can't Mis 😱
In this interview with Doug Cunnington, I'm sharing my journey to becoming an SEO audit expert.
I dive deep into how my ADHD and introverted nature actually became superpowers in my SEO auditing career. You'll hear about my transition from agency life to running my own consultancy, and how I've built a 6-8 week waitlist for my services.
In this episode of SOTR, John Mueller, Lizzi Sassman, and Gary Illyes talk about misconceptions around crawl frequency and site quality, what's challenging about crawling the web nowadays, and how search engines could crawl more efficiently.
Here are the key points and takeaways about crawling every SEO should know:
Crawl frequency doesn't equal quality or improve ranking
Google aims to crawl efficiently, balancing frequency and server load
Technical aspects like server capacity and response times matter
URL parameters can complicate crawling
Server and hosting issues often cause crawling problems
Site owners need better education on crawling optimization

As the author of this 40-Step SEO Migration Checklist, I've put together a detailed guide based on my extensive experience with SEO migrations. This checklist is designed to help you navigate the complexities of website migration while safeguarding or even enhancing your site's SEO performance.
Here are the main steps and phases that every SEO migration should have:
Pre-Migration Planning: Define clear goals, perform an SEO audit, map old and new URLs, and thoroughly test the new site in a controlled environment before launching.
During Migration: Launch during low-traffic periods, ensure proper indexing and crawling, test all redirects, and promptly address any issues that arise.
Post-Migration Monitoring: Continuously monitor rankings, traffic, and conversions, submit new sitemaps to search engines, and assess the migration's impact while being patient with potential fluctuations in SEO performance.
SEO Involvement: Involve SEO specialists at every stage of the migration to avoid common pitfalls and ensure that SEO best practices are followed throughout the process.
