and interactive elements.

possible. It involves improving a system, process, or
resource to achieve the desired outcome or objective.

How to optimise your website??
1. Search Intent
The first optimization strategy is ensuring your content satisfies
the search intent. Put simply, the intent is what the user is
looking for in a particular keyword or topic.
There are four types of searches that people make:
Informational: Users are looking for information about a
specific topic.
Navigational: Users are looking for a specific website.
Commercial: Users are investigating products or
services.
Transactional: Users are looking to purchase a product
or service.
An easy way to determine user intent is to see what’s currently
ranking for your chosen keyword. Just by skimming the highest-
ranking content, you’ll be able to determine what Google
believes the intent of the keyword is.

2. Page Experience
In particular, it includes the following:
Core Web Vitals Score – These are KPIs related to
how fast your website loads on desktop and
mobile. To pass the core web vitals, your website
must load in less than 2.5 seconds.
SSL – Your pages should be served over a secure
connection. This means your URLs should start
with HTTPS.
Mobile-Friendliness – The overall experience of
users on mobile should be the best possible
without having popups or other intrusive
interstitials.

3. Technical SEO
A website’s visibility and performance can be affected if
there are technical SEO errors. Technical SEO ensures that
search engine crawlers can access and index a website’s
content without problems.
Some basic checks to perform are:
Check indexation
Is your site being indexed by the search engines? Here’s a
quick way to check. Head over to Google and type in
“site:yoursite.com”.
This will show you what pages and posts are being
indexed by Google. Ideally, you’ll see every page and post
you’ve published.
Check robots.txt
A robots.txt file controls which pages of your site can be
indexed by search engines. Having false statements in
your robots.txt file can ruin your organic traffic.
WWW.NIDMINDIA.COM 6
However, you might have multiple different URLs which
refer to the same thing.
Usually, Google will choose a version of your site to index,
but it could also index multiple versions, leading to
confusion and duplicate content.
Review your canonical URLs to avoid duplicate content
issues.
Fix broken links
Broken links can create a poor user experience, along with
crawling issues.
You can use a tool like Google Search Console to identify
broken links and 404 pages across your site. Then, you can
update these links, or add a 301 redirect if the page no
longer exists.

4. Site Structure
If you built out your website without a long-term site plan,
then there’s a chance your site is a jumbled mess of
pages. By refining and optimizing your
website structure you can improve your search engine
rankings, and elevate your user experience across the
board.
After all, it doesn’t matter how good your site looks if your
users find it impossible to navigate.
Here are a few reasons to improve site structure
WWW.NIDMINDIA.COM 8

users search for your site or business name

crawl and index all of your site pages

site and find the information they’re looking for, leading
to improved on-page SEO metrics

5. Link Building
One of the most important factors in ranking your website is
link building. According to Google, it’s one of the top 3 ranking
factors.
There are a ton of different strategies you can employ to build
quality backlinks:
Create better content. By creating content better than
what’s currently ranking, you can not only steal your
competitor’s backlinks but also attract links naturally.
Build from broken links. You can find sites with broken
links and create better content, then reach out to the
site owner and see if they’ll link to your improved
article.
Guest blog on authority sites. Find relevant and
authoritative blogs in your niche open to guest
blogging.
Analyze your competitor backlinks. Finding and
replicating your competitors link building strategies is
one of the most effective ways to improve your link
profile.

6. Structured Data
Schema markup
helps Google understand what your page is about and the type
of content that’s on the page.
Schema markup on its own won’t help you rank higher in the
search engines, but it can help you get more space in the search
results, like showing up in the Adding schema markup to your
pages can also help to improve your search engine CTR. For
example, if you run a recipe blog, schema markup can show
additional useful information, encouraging users to click your
result instead of
Events
Local business information
Recipes

7. Content Marketing
Using topic clusters and pillar pages is a technique to improve
your website’s content.With topic clusters, you essentially cover
everything there is to know about a topic. A topic cluster
includes pillar pages and cluster pages interlinked together to
help you build authority about a topic.
Topic ClustersThese can help your site in two ways:
1. It organizes your content and makes your site easier to
navigate
2. It can give you a boost in the search engines
Pillar pages help to show Google what your content is about.
Your pillar page will help to unite different categories of
content.
WWW.NIDMINDIA.COM 13
Here are some guidelines to follow when creating pillar pages:
Analyze your existing content to look for topic clusters
(i.e., related content that falls under a larger category)
See if this content can be combined into a larger post
with chapters or links to existing articles
Research high-traffic keywords that you’ll be able to
target with your pillar pages
Create the absolute best online resource on your
chosen topic/keywords

8. Brand Awarene
These sites have good content and high-quality backlinks,
offering an incredible user experience. All of these fall under the
umbrella of web optimization.
It’ll be difficult for you to build a strong personal brand or
business without getting all of these factors right.
Becoming an authority in your niche doesn’t have to be that
difficult, either.
Test your messaging and overall branding to better align
with your audience.
Create high-quality, relevant content that your
audience loves and shares with influencers in your
space for backlinks and improve brand association

9. Content Relevancy
Producing more content takes time, energy, and even money.
But you can improve your rankings by updating your old content
without writing more posts.
In time, your content becomes less relevant, and by updating it,
you improve your freshness score and can see a jump in traffic.
Here’s a handful of reasons/methods for updating your old
content:
Updating the article date can improve search engine
CTR
Make your content more accurate and better than
what’s currently ranking
Fix any old typos and make the content more readable
Update any broken links and link to better resources

Conversion Optimization
When looking at your website traffic, email subscribers, and
revenue, you want these numbers to increase continuously.
But the answer isn’t always more traffic and more buyers.
Often, the better approach is improving the conversions you’ve
already got.
Put simply, conversion optimization is the process of increasing
the number of website visitors that turn into customers or take
WWW.NIDMINDIA.COM 17
a specific action.
Here are a few ways you can improve your site’s conversions:
A/B testing. You change a portion of your website and
run traffic to the two versions, then study the data to
see what converts the best.
Your value proposition. This spells out the unique value
that your website offers your visitors. The clearer this is,
the better.
Conclusion:
Website optimization can help you unlock more revenue
from your existing traffic and help your site grow
positively (more traffic and more customers).
Without spending time optimizing your website, you’re
doing your business a disservice. Ultimately, the goal of
your website is to serve your customers in the most
effective manner possible.
