There are two main steps doing your audit in under 30 minutes, the first step is to log into Google search console.

When you log in to Google search console, you want to look for pages that rank for similar terms. See, most people think that if they want to rank for dogs or SEO or cats or whatever the subject is, they want to create as much content around that topic. And although that's true, it's also wrong at the same time.

Yes, you want to create a ton of content, but you don't want to create a ton of pages on the same exact topic because they are going to compete and that's going to conflict with Google quick, which page do I rank about Dogs? They all have similar keywords and they're all about the same thing, so when you have content around the same topics, you want to combine them. That lets Google know that, hey, this is the main page that's around dogs and you want to use the model of pillar pages. So a good example of this is the beginner's guide to SEO by Moz.

He ranks number one on Google for the term SEO, at least in the United States, and it has an introductory paragraph and page more so on SEO, and then they link into all the other sections of SEO. Those other pages also rank really well for those niche terms and niche topics around SEO.

And the main category page on SEO ranks really well because it breaks down, hey, this is the beginner's guide to SEO. So in search console, look for pages that are competing, combine them and start structuring in a way that's similar more to the beginner's guide to SEO. Then in search console, I want you to find the pages that are popular but have a low CTR.

See, these pages are somewhat ranking, but no one's clicking on them because of the title tag or meta description. Once you figured that out, I want you to go to click flow. click flow is a tool that allows you to AB test your title tags and it'll even give you recommendations on how to improve the click-throughs.

You don't have to come up with your own form or anything like that. click flow Will do the hard work for you. Then from there in search console, you'll also see the pages that are super popular. I want you to then start leveraging the land and expand strategy.

See the land and expand strategy is really simple. If something already ranks really well, the chances are if you expand upon it and you put more meat behind it and you make it even better, it should in theory even do better.

But if a page doesn't rank well at all and you put a ton of emphasis and effort behind it, the chance of it doing really well in the future are slim to none. Hence the land and expand strategy focuses on the pages that are doing well.

And what I like doing is once I figured out the pages that are doing well, I just put in the keywords that the page already ranks for the Ubersuggest, the keyword ideas report gives me all the other long-tail variations of those phrases and I'm like, are any of these phrases related to the article that's already ranking well?

If not, I won't use them. Don't just put the keywords in there for Google. Do what's best for the user.

Now, the second step in doing the audit in under 30 minutes is to use the site audit report and Ubersuggest. Once you put in a URL, it takes roughly three minutes to crawl your site. It'll crawl hundreds of pages and it'll tell you what's wrong from a technical standpoint.

Ubersuggest site audit report breaks down the stuff that's the biggest impact and the easiest to implement, so start with those, because it will be at the top of the recommendations and then work your way down the list.

You want to fix it, it'll tell you what you need to fix to make your site load faster. The faster it loads, the better you'll rank. More than 50% of people who search Google are doing so on a mobile device.
