But like a New Year\u2019s resolution, you must do it to see results.<\/p>\n<p>Well-meaning site owners pay agencies, consultants, or in-house SEO professionals to give SEO advice to help their businesses grow. Yet a significant percentage of those recommendations never get implemented.<\/p>\n<p>This happens for many reasons. Most often, the company doesn\u2019t see SEO as a strategic initiative. That trickles from the top down, and business silos make it nearly impossible to get things done.<\/p>\n<p>So how do you succeed with having great SEO intentions and actually following through on them?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"406\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77431\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/quote-seo-work-you-didnt-do-722px.png\" alt=\"Don't be surprised by results you didn't get from SEO work you didn't do.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/quote-seo-work-you-didnt-do-722px.png 722w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/quote-seo-work-you-didnt-do-722px-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 722px) 100vw, 722px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"how-to-make-sure-the-seo-work-gets-done\"><\/a>How to Make Sure the SEO Work Gets Done<\/h2>\n<p>Here are a handful of things to consider implementing to make sure SEO priorities get done:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Educate, educate, educate.<\/strong> And not just the immediate marketing teams, but other teams that need to get SEO things done need to be trained too.<\/p>\n<p>We have upgraded what people know and love as \u201conline training\u201d with our membership-based <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seotraining.com\">SEOtraining.com<\/a>, a comprehensive SEO training experience. The heart of it is the Bruce Clay SEO Training course.<\/p>\n<p>Our new SEO course is online, but it is not a recording of a live class. It is green-screen recorded and quite professional in sound and presentation, with more than 15 hours of professionally produced video lessons. As with all videos, you can take the course at your own pace \u2013 start and stop as you like.<\/p>\n<p>Members also have access to email support and regular live Q&amp;A sessions to get their questions answered. Resources beyond the training course include in-depth mini-courses on key subjects, e-books, single-topic Ask-Us-Anything videos, and many more.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Prioritize recommendations.<\/strong> Work on the most impactful SEO tasks first \u2014 the ones with the most potential to move the needle.<\/p>\n<p>For example, our SEO audits make it clear which tasks are most important to tackle first and how to prioritize everything else from short-term to long-term tasks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Support recommendations with Google guidance.<\/strong> Show examples (help files, tweets, videos, etc.) of Google recommending what you are trying to accomplish. <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/web\/fundamentals\/performance\/why-performance-matters\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This<\/a> is a great example from Google on why site performance matters.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure to distill the \u201cwhy\u201d behind Google\u2019s recommendation. Whether you&#8217;re talking to a client or your own internal team, you want to make it easy for your intended audience to understand and get on board. Also, think about your audience when you talk about results.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you&#8217;re recommending a change that will improve site performance, the UX department will respond to user experience improvements, while the C-Suite will respond more to revenue growth.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For every half second decrease in homepage load speed, our customers see an average annual revenue increase of $376,789.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>\u2013<a href=\"https:\/\/resources.mobify.com\/2016-Q2-mobile-insights-benchmark-report_TY.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mobify<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"342\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77437\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/mobify-correlations-chart.png\" alt=\"Mobify correlations chart.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/mobify-correlations-chart.png 615w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/mobify-correlations-chart-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>4. Get creative to move SEO changes forward.<\/strong> Technical fixes can be hard to implement. That\u2019s because web developers and IT folks often focus on other things.<\/p>\n<p>In a bit of good news: UK-based Zazzle found that 75 percent of marketers said SEO technical fixes were implemented within one month. But that leaves 25 percent of those surveyed waiting more than a month.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"525\" height=\"625\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-77438\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zazzle-survey-seo-fixes.png\" alt=\"Zazzle survey showing how long do technical fixes take to implement.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zazzle-survey-seo-fixes.png 525w, https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/zazzle-survey-seo-fixes-252x300.png 252w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To help move technical SEO changes forward, speak the language of your audience. Instead of requesting enhancements to the site, put SEO technical fixes in as bug reports. Fixing bugs is typically KPIs developers care about and want to stay on top of.<\/p>\n<p>(The key is not to put anything in the report you must defend. A bug is a bug; it\u2019s not \u201closing traffic to competitors\u201d or anything else.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Think strategically.<\/strong> We must think and plan strategically to get things done. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/blog\/answer-these-5-questions-to-help-make-your-new-years-resolutions-stick-2017122012940\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">This article<\/a> by a doctor at the Harvard Medical School blog gives tips on how to keep New Year\u2019s resolutions by asking five important questions.<\/p>\n<p>These same questions could be applied to communicating and getting buy-in for SEO initiatives so they get done:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Why do you want to make the change?<\/strong> Know and show the reasons behind the SEO recommendation.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Is your goal concrete and measurable?<\/strong> Support your recommendation with Google guidance and data, case studies for similar organizations, websites, or initiatives, and the KPIs you will track.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is your plan?<\/strong> Detail the steps necessary to reach the goal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Who can support you as you work toward change?<\/strong> Identify which colleagues, teams, or departments will need to be involved to get the recommendation done and how.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How will you celebrate your victories?<\/strong> Make sure that the small and big wins are in front of everyone all the time. This helps build trust and confidence in the SEO process.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>McKinsey also has some great insights worth looking into on how to make a change within an organization, including motivating\u00a0people.<\/p>\n<h2><a id=\"resolve-get-seo-things-done-this-year\"><\/a>Resolve to Get SEO Things Done This Year<\/h2>\n<p>If we want our SEO recommendations to be implemented, we must create a plan for how to get things done. Like the person who signs up for the gym in January but never attends, paying for SEO advice but not following it is wasted potential.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, SEO is forever \u2014 there is no \u201cend,\u201d and it takes a commitment to see results. This core concept can help us think beyond the title tags that need to be changed this month or site speed that needs to be tackled the next so that we can accomplish more.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Most people overestimate what they can do in a year and they underestimate what they can do in two or three decades. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/iamnotyourguru?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#iamnotyourguru<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Tony Robbins (@TonyRobbins) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TonyRobbins\/status\/790937782784970752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">October 25, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><strong>If you need help with your SEO action plan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bruceclay.com\/quoteform\/\">contact us for a free quote<\/a>, and let&#8217;s talk.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a id=\"faq-how-do-I-prioritize-execute-seo-tasks-maximum-impact\"><\/a>FAQ: How Do I Prioritize and Execute SEO Tasks for Maximum Impact?<\/h3>\n<p>Executing SEO tasks with precision and purpose can significantly influence your website&#8217;s performance.
