Step 3 – Create a Content Plan

When it comes to driving more website traffic, it ultimately comes down to content. My goal is to create and update almost 2 pieces of content per day so I can continue to grow my audience.

  • Create and/or Update 180 Pieces of Content. That includes articles on the websites and videos on the Surfside PPC YouTube Channel.
  • Create content based on my keyword research.
  • Sharing Content Consistently on Social Media.
  • Sharing Content Consistenly to my Email List.

Simple Content Creation Plan:

You will need to watch our Keyword Research for SEO video first, but then you will be able to create content with ease. You can put together a calender to schedule each piece of content, or focus on a list of keywords and a time period.
 

Step 4 – Create an Off-Site Strategy

Your content will guide your off-site strategy. My goal is to improve my social media following and grow my email list to keep driving traffic from those sources. I put my off-site strategy below to improve traffic from external sources.

My Off-Site Strategy:

  • Share new content immediately to Social Media Channels.
  • Grow email list and send 1-2 emails per week for Surfside PPC.
  • Grow email list for Beachfront Decor and Farmhouse Goals with a Giveaway.
  • Keep Pinterest scheduled with Tailwind.
  • Stay consistent with Instagram Marketing.
  • Grow Social Media following on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and YouTube.
  • Utilize Paid Advertising to Grow Email List and Promote Content.

Step 5 – On-Page Optimization and User Experience

Since I am optimizing for Page Views from each source, improving the user experience on each website is important. I put some of my main goals below for improving on-page optimization and user experience for each website.

  • Improve each homepage so people can easily browse the website and find what they are looking for.
  • Improve website speed with better hosting plans, optimized databases, and compressing images.
  • Improve the menu for each website to make it easier to find every page.
  • Add internal links to every page to keep people engaged.
  • Improve headlines to increase Google Search Results Click-Through Rate.
  • Find top Exit Pages to keep people engaged on each website.

Update 1 – July Page Views and Video Views

For the first update, I compared the July numbers to the June numbers and compared the April-June numbers to the May-July numbers. So far, I have seen an increase of 20.4% from June to July and I am pacing well to reach my 400,000+ goal for October.

  • June, 2019 Page Views and Video Views: 263,475
