- Look, everyone says that SEO takes a long time.
But you don't have three months, six months,
or even a year to get result.
There must be a quicker way to get results, faster.
And there is.
Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel and today,
I'm going to teach you how to improve your WordPress SEO
in 30 minutes, seriously.
(upbeat music)
Before we get started, make sure you subscribe
to this channel.
That way, when I release more videos like this,
you'll get notified.
And if you're on YouTube, click the Alert notification.
Now, we're going to do something a bit different
than most of my videos.
I'm actually going to share my screen
and show you how you can improve your WordPress SEO
in 30 minutes or less.
And when I mean 30 minutes,
you're actually going to see a change
in your Google rankings, physically,
within 30 minutes.
So let's get started.
Here was my traffic for the term digital marketing,
as you can see here.
On a daily basis, you know it climb, get a few hundred,
and then boom, all of a sudden, as you can see here,
it just started shooting up.
So right here, here, here.
And it stayed pretty up for a while,
and then it went down becausethe code got messed up
so I had to redo the code, but once I fixed the HTML error,
funny enough, I expected it,
but once I fixed the error takes a few days to index
and crawl and then boom.
Back at the top, it goes down right here,
and that's because it's a Friday.
Now, here's what I did to get that traffic.
If you search digital marketing,
you know you'll search, I'm pretty much number one,
you'll see that there is FAQ schema
that I'm using, FAQ page schema.
So someone could be looking up what is digital marketing,
it's there, I give the definition,
the future, why it matters,
the channels that make up digital marketing, et cetera.
That's FAQ page schema, and you're probably wondering
how to add it to your site.
So I'm going to show you how to do that.
Right here in there, on my site,
and we're going to do it for a brand new page.
So this is affiliate marketing.
I'm ranking at the top.
And people are asking questions like,
how do I become affiliate marketer, right?
Or what is affiliate marketing?
So, I'm going to take my page that is on affiliate marketing,
I'm going to scroll all the way to the bottom,
it's kind of a lengthy page.
I'm using a plug-in called Structured Content.
So Structured Content, that's a plug-in that I'm using.
And all I'm going to do is add a block,
and I'm going to add a FAQ block so that way I can enter
any question I have.
So what is affiliate marketing?
And let's see a type in answer.
All right, so I added one.
And as you can see, I first Googled the term
that I want to rank for, and I look for
what people are also asking
becausethese are the most common,
these are the most common questions people ask.
So, for example, how much money can you make
as an affiliate marketer?
So I'm going to ask the question here.
How much money can you make as an affiliate marketer?
All right, so I'm going to keep going,
I'm going to add two more.
What else is?
All right, so let's update this.
So I have four, I try to always do four,
and I find it's better when you do at least four.
Now, I'm going to also clear my cache, here,
I'm using WP engine so I got to purge my cache
or Google won't index it.
And if I refresh the page before the comments load,
toward the bottom,
I should have
the questions, FAQ schema.
So, let me know in the comments.
I probably will add a heading
so it looks a little bit better.
Bold this, turn this into a heading.
Update that.
All right.
So now I'll take the page
and I'll submit it to Google Search Console,
I'm already logged in, you just put in the URL bar, there.
And even when this submits right away,
it doesn't happen instantaneously,
but you guys saw from my traffic sets
that I showed you from Google Search Console,
you may be thinking, hey, if I'm answering the questions
right then and there on Google,
then why do they need to come to my site?
Well, as you can see, just from that graph alone,
it's getting me more search traffic, right?
So you're better off doing it than not doing it
because it should get you more traffic, yes,
people can click the drop downs
and the search listing, and they don't necessarily have
to go to your site to get all the responses,
but it total, from what I tested, you get more traffic.
So still takes a little bit for it to be indexed.
Sometimes it can take a few minutes.
Now it should be indexed soon.
Submitting request, all right.
URL's added to the queue.
Affiliate marketing.
It's pulling me from here.
It's not there yet.
And it's typed wrong.
I'm going to hit a refresh a few times.
And then, I'm just going to do a quick little check, here.
No, it still hasn't shown up so
then I'll take this URL again, put it back in this.
This part always takes a little bit of time.
It sucks, it's the slowest part.
Now Google does say if you submit a URL multiple times,
it doesn't affect the indexing,
like it doesn't make speed up the process,
I'm impatient.
I still do it.
The Google's probably right, but sometimes I do it
when I can't see the,
the data right away.
All right, got it.
See, submitting multiple times will not change
a queue of the position priority.
I get it, I still do it.
Look, FAQ one item detected that's valid.
So that means you can see here, FAQ page,
answer, what is affiliate marketing,
question, question, question.
That means in due time, it is going to show up, so,
yeah, as you can see, look, it's showing up here.
So search for affiliate marketing, boom.
I'm here.
What is affiliate marketing?
How much money can affiliate marketer make?
Is it a pyramid scheme?
Awesome, I also clicked on my listing
becauseI don't want Google to think I continually going
to that page due to the fact
that the result is not relevant.
All right, everyone.
Thank you for watching.
I hope that tip really helps you out.
Go and do it.
All I ask is you don't continually do it
in the marketing realm and compete with me.
