February SEO checklist
rebecca • 1 February 2019
It’s the start of a brand new month and that means it’s the perfect time to create yourself an SEO checklist and to do list to ensure your new website design is as visible and well ranked as possible. SEO is an ongoing project so consistency is key to success. Getting organised now at the beginning of a new month is the perfect way to remain accountable and on track. Read on for our checklist suggestions…
1. Keyword research Search patterns and user habits are constantly changing and that means that new keyword opportunities are emerging all the time. Regularly being on the lookout for new keywords is an important part of SEO. Longer tail search terms are often a treasure trove of untapped opportunity and could result in much more targeted and relevant traffic hitting your new business website. Use tools like Google Trends to see what people are searching for and which keyword phrases are emerging then incorporate these where appropriate. 2. Page speed test Page loading speed is an important part of mobile SEO and with more than half of the search results now driven by the mobile index, it’s wise to keep an eye on how fast your pages are appearing. You can use the free Google speed test and it takes just a few moments to perform plus it will give suggestions for improvements if needed. 3. Target a relevant featured snippet Featured snippets are often called position zero of the search engine results page because they appear before the top ranked organic result. The featured snippet is a box which appears at the top of the page with text within in. This usually answers a question such as ‘What is…? or ‘How do you…’. The key to targeting this spot is to create content that’s based around those questions. The content should be useful, relevant and provide a concise answer or explanation. 4. Try a new link building tactic It can seem like it gets harder and harder to build links – especially if you’ve been doing it a while, which is why it’s important to mix and match your link building approaches through the course of the year. Run a link report on a competitor to create a gap analysis – this shows links from domains your rivals have that you don’t. You can the target those same outlets to build new links this month.

Your homepage is your agency’s first handshake. If it’s unclear, cluttered, or generic—you’re losing potential clients in seconds. Here's what your homepage actually needs to convert visitors into leads. 1. A Headline That Tells Them What You Do “Helping local businesses grow with mobile apps and digital tools.” Make it specific, client-focused, and benefit-driven. If it could apply to anyone, it applies to no one. 2. A Strong Subheadline That Builds Trust “Trusted by 1,000+ entrepreneurs across 20 countries.” This is your social proof shortcut. Numbers work. So do logos and testimonials. 3. A Visual That Shows the Result Use mockups, screenshots, or lifestyle photos. Help visitors see what they’ll get—a mobile app, a dashboard, a website, a client smiling. 4. A Short List of Benefits (Not Features) Launch your digital presence fast No tech skills required Support and tools included Keep it tight. Think “what’s in it for me?” from the client’s point of view. 5. A Clear Call to Action (CTA) “Book a free call” “Get your launch pack” “See what’s possible” CTAs should stand out visually and be repeated 2–3 times on the page. 6. A Simple Contact Form or Button Make it easy to get in touch or book. Remove friction. Don’t ask for more than name, email, and one question. Pro tip: You don’t need to design from scratch.
