Free on-page SEO checklist: www.gotchseo.com/checklist/
On-page SEO is one of the most fundamental skills you need to master if you want better rankings and more organic search traffic.
In this video, I will walk you through my complete on-page SEO checklist.
It will be the last step-by-step checklist you’ll ever need.
I recommend watching some of this video and implementing the recommendations immediately.
Here’s one thing to keep in mind:
You must go through this on-page SEO process for EACH page you want to rank in Google.
But keep this in mind:
You should only be at this stage of the SEO process if you have already done keyword research, qualified a keyword target, and created a content asset around that qualified keyword.

I have been doing a lot of this stuff for years, but it was real nice to have them all listed like this in a spread sheet. It is both an excellent checklist, and marketing tool. Thank you for the great content.
