You do not need a month to improve your SEO. These ten fixes cover most of what holds small sites back.
1. Make sure search engines can see you
Check that your site is not set to discourage search engines and that robots.txt does not block everything.
2. Use clean addresses
Addresses like /seo-checklist/ beat /?p=123.
3. Give every page a unique title
Aim for 30 to 60 characters with the main topic near the front.
4. Write meta descriptions that earn the click
About 120 to 160 characters, written for a person.
5. Use one H1 per page
Use H2 and H3 for the rest of the structure.
6. Add alt text to images
Describe what the image shows in a short phrase.
7. Link your pages together
Every page should be reachable from at least one other page.
8. Publish an XML sitemap
It tells search engines which pages exist.
9. Fix broken links and redirect moved pages
A 301 redirect keeps visitors and ranking signals when an address changes.
10. Re-check monthly
SEO drifts as you publish. A scheduled audit keeps you honest.
