To improve website SEO, you can’t throw darts in the dark. You need a strategy. A plan for systematic improvement across your site.

And in this post, I’ll share a strategy to do just that.

Let’s get started.

Step One: Segmenting And SEO Scoring Your Site

The first thing to do is break down your site into segments. For example:

  • your-site.com/products
  • your-site.com/downloads
  • your-site.com/webinars
  • your-site.com/blog

After segmenting your content based on directories, you can start to SEO score your site.

And you can do that using Pagezii’s SEO Analysis Report.

In this tutorial, we’re focusing on analyzing a blog.

So, go to Pagezii’s SEO Report Setup, select analyze by specific pages, and enter pages falling under that directory.

After that, run the report. You can then view the Shareable Report, Project Pages Report, and Similar Pages Report.

The first report to view is the Shareable Report.

Step Two: Using Your Shareable SEO Report To Benchmark SEO

When you click on your Shareable Report, you’ll get a bird’s-eye view of SEO for your site segment. And at the top of the report, you’ll see your overall SEO score.

SEO Scoring Benchmark

You’ll use this SEO score as a benchmark. In our example, our benchmark is set at 74%. So any content SEO scoring lower than 74% needs optimization.

Step Three: Homing In On SEO Improvement Areas

After benchmarking your SEO score, analyze your segment page by page.

You can do that using the project pages report.

In our example, our benchmark was an SEO score of 74%. So, I’ll highlight which SEO scores we need to improve.
