Blog Building Part II | SEO Ranking On Google SERP

It’s the Final week of our Boot Camp on SideHustle Internship and we can boldly say that this experience has been nothing short of valuable skills.

This week’s task was to ensure that our Blog site had an SEO ranking of about 90% to pass. It is obvious that to hit such target, it requires certain skills and professionalism to get it right.

To improve on your SEO, a few things needs to be consider. These are:

• Keyword Research
• Meta data: This consist of your meta title and meta description.
• Headings: This includes the h1, h2-h6 for readability.
• Images
• Alt text

So Monday evening, we held our usual meetings to designate duties for team members. Before working on the SEO for our blog, we ran the SEO audit on the blog and we ranked 78%. To be honest, I was quite impressed that we were above average, so it wasn’t going to be that difficult to get to 90% I thought, until time for action came.

TL and I handled the backend of the blog, from working on a much more user-friendly interface, landing pages, backlinks, and alt text to the blog & metadata. P.S: By the time I was done, I realize it was already it was already Friday morning(story for another day).

Our assistant team lead, Philip alongside the rest of the team carried out intensive Keyword Research and also handled internal and external linking for each articles.

We were able to get the SEO Audit to 82%. We believe 90% is achievable in no time.

To be honest, this task was the height of it all in this boot camp. Everyone had their fair share. We were all overwhelmed by this week’s tasks but we were able to pull through despite the odds. It was such a great pleasure doing this boot camp with such amazing people.
