The Ultimate SEO Checklist (for 2024)

[@nathangotch]

Thank you for watching! Here's a link to the free SEO checklist: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1313_ctM7GHzIfbaDc8_XpBYZhSwzszzRnnuDkYE3AbI/edit?usp=sharing (make a copy).

You are my favorite SEO mentor. I was your student before, and honestly, I've learned from many famous SEO experts. But I noticed that their advice sometimes felt like guessing or that they didn’t really believe in their own methods. You always get straight to the important stuff and teach us what really works. I love when people give us the real deal. There’s guesswork SEO and there’s GOTCH SEO. My honest advice is to forget the guessing and just stick with GOTCH SEO. "YES" for tools and resources. All the best!

[@F7yingdutchman]

Yeah checklist would be really helpful

[@ahmedbinmahmud8116]

Thank you so much Nathan Sir for creating this video and explaining all the SEO checks with the audit checklist template.

[@meanitwebdesign]

Yes indeed, love watching you clearly articulate your opinions and tactics. Did the course, bought the book, watch the videos when I can. Clear, easy to understand, solid advice without any BS. Read, watch, listen then do your own testing. Only by doing the work will any advice make any sense. Try one video at a time, watch and rewatch as you are doing the work to apply the tactics. Nathan makes everything look easy and he speaks quite fast, so you will be challenged to keep up.

[@skip1978]

my favorite SEO youtuber, great stuff here

[@HerLegacyFortCollins]

yes this is very helpful. please send me the checklist discussed in video. thanks. It is easier for me to read about these updates vs listen. Thank you.

[@DigitalZoo]

Yes

[@JibraanShaikh]

yes

[@manolohbo]

Thank you for the great content, a free masterclass! Much appreciated

[@DoTrungQuan-g2y]

Nice Vid! I have a question for the last one: what happens if you publish a ton of supporting assets, but the majority receive little to no traffic or clicks? Would these supporting pages have value, or would they even hurt your site in the end because of wasting a crawling budget?

[@akrammridhaofficial]

I'm glad I found it, Absolute Value.

[@EricLeader]

Thanks, Nathan.Love the content. quick question do you think that link velocity matters for example, if I get a 100 citations.Should I just put them through an indexer altogether all one hundred

[@nathangotch]

In most situations, no because the links will get indexed at different times. Also, if you're acquiring editorial backlinks, it's nearly impossible to get backlinks too fast (since they're hard to get).

[@BradBarrett]

Yes, of course. Brilliant, as usual. Thanks.

[@UttomRoyy]

YES

[@petedwilliams]

[@JulianMateo-o1c]

Yes I like it!

[@saadnaeemcute]

Hey gotch, i have a question, at 55 min time you are talking about nlp but in the checklist you said keyword should come in h1, h2, url, meta title, metag descriptiin, this is making me confused, can you clear this confusion, if you are targeting a specific keyword, should we put it in h1, h2, but at some point you say do not focus on the keyword, but focus on nlp

[@nathangotch]

That's correct. Let's the primary keyword for the page is "blue shoes." It should appear in the title, meta description, H1, first sentence, and some type of variation in the H2. That's bare minimum on-page SEO. Then NLP optimization is what takes it to the next level.

[@mark-kg]

yes.. thx Nathan!

[@wasted8360]

[@Divyv520]

Hey Nathan , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

[@gamersylum3674]

Hey gotch, the search console dashboard you are showing in your video here. It has many options on the left side of the penal, why so? Because I am looking at my dashboard it doesn't have the options like Search results Discover Coverage And many like the schema options you have below?

[@nathangotch]

Unfortunately, there isn't a setting for this (as far as I know). I believe Google offers more options when your account is established and has more traffic data

[@dimitarmargaritov]

Maybe they are just rolling them out still, but not sure, I dont have them either.

[@mariomaro7]

Does thid also apply to local seo

[@nathangotch]

For sure. But there are some off-site factors to consider with local. I'll cover soon

[@sergstrue362]

Yes !!!

[@Sarjudutta]

[@contemposuits1983]
