Finding out your website’s SEO issues can be hard at first, but once you learn the different types of SEO and get used to common issues encountered, it will eventually become easier.
Like any other acquired skill, it may take time and experience to truly become a specialist in the field. Watch as our resident SEO expert talks about his experiences in tackling different types of SEO issues and how to fix them.
Common SEO Issues
The main issues on websites are usually silly stuff, like you do not have an SSL certificate, the little lock sign on the browser, or you do not have a mobile version for your website, and somebody will take their phone and be like, “What? I cannot see anything, the text is too small!” Or the thumb button is good for a girl, but not for a guy with a thick thumb.
These little things individually do not do anything, but when your website is not mobile-friendly, or you have to turn your phone in weird ways, or you go on a website and it suddenly starts wiggling weird, or the menu does not work, people just exit.
And Google figures it out, so first, look at your website and then figure out why this is happening.
Other Frequent Issues
SEO is a very big word. It includes a lot of different things.
Technical issues are one thing, and then you have on-page issues, which include small text, which is also technically technical, but there is also, for example, keyword stuffing or cloaking, which is also somewhat technical.
There are off-page issues as well, for example, you have bad links, but bad links are not very relevant anymore because Google knows how to ignore them. But in some cases it can be quite bad, for example, when somebody puts your website videos on some adult platform, VideoTube or something; that can happen, people do it intentionally.
SEO Issues Are Usually Easy to Fix
It rarely happens; most likely, your SEO issues are something you can fix in a few minutes. In very rare cases, it takes a long time, unless the website was built wrong in the first place.
