do you want to rank number one on google
[2]
well i hate to say it it's actually
[3]
really hard 10 years ago it used to be
[6]
really easy but now it's hard and you
[8]
know what unless you watch this whole
[10]
video you're not going to be able to
[11]
rank number one on google hey everyone
[14]
i'm neil patel and today i'm going to
[15]
share with you three ways you can rank
[17]
number one on google today
[25]
i got started in seo when i was 16 years
[28]
old i created a website called advice
[30]
monkey it no longer exists if you search
[32]
for it you're not going to see my
[33]
website it was a replication and a
[35]
shitty replication of monster.com and
[38]
when i created the website i thought oh
[40]
cool this is it people are going to come
[42]
to my site and i'm going to get traffic
[44]
but you know what i popped up the
[46]
website and no one came to it
[48]
from that point i realized there was
[50]
something called seo that i had to do i
[53]
paid a few marketing firms to help me
[55]
with search engine optimization so that
[56]
way i could rank number one on google
[58]
for terms like job search but you know
[60]
what i gave them money and i got no
[62]
results eventually as a 16 year old kid
[65]
i lost all my money you only can make so
[68]
much money cleaning restrooms and
[69]
picking up trash
[71]
so i had to learn it but when i first
[73]
started it was as simple as putting the
[75]
keywords on your website and you could
[77]
rank i wish it was that easy these days
[81]
number one focus on content
[84]
see google has this update called
[85]
hummingbird and with hummingbird what
[87]
they decided to do is websites who just
[90]
have content on everything won't do as
[92]
well as websites to focus on one single
[95]
niche and are super thorough for example
[98]
let's say you have a website around
[100]
dating if you have a website around
[102]
dating and your article is let's say
[104]
talking about hmm five ways you can land
[107]
a date or five ways you can land your
[109]
dream date if you end up breaking down
[112]
hey go to match.com sign up and you'll
[115]
find a match after you create a profile
[117]
you're not going to do that well but if
[119]
you write an article that breaks down
[121]
how to create a profile on match.com the
[123]
ideal picture the ideal description how
[126]
to be funny how to even maybe add video
[128]
i don't know i haven't been on these
[130]
dating sites in ages but if you go
[132]
really in-depth and you break down every
[134]
little thing that they should do and
[136]
then after you breakdown match.com you
[138]
then talk about tinder you then talk
[140]
about bumble you then talk about
[141]
eharmony all the other platforms you
[144]
then even discuss how you should respond
[146]
to people and engage with them should
[147]
you be hitting people up what's the
[149]
first thing you should say to them how
[151]
should you respond where should you go
[152]
for your first date right how to carry
[154]
from your first date and ask them on a
[156]
second date but if you're super thorough
[158]
and your content is so amazing that
[160]
people are like huh wow i read this
[163]
article i don't have any more questions
[165]
and i know what to do next that's how
[167]
thorough you need to be so poke holes in
[170]
your content and as many holes as you
[172]
can and fill them all up so then that
[174]
way people are like this is the end-all
[178]
site that you should end up reading if
[180]
you're interested in dating online
[182]
actually what's funny i wish dating was
[184]
this easy when i was younger i couldn't
[186]
just swipe an app like tinder and find
[188]
the next match i was sitting next to my
[190]
buddy terry the other day and he kept
[192]
swiping on tinder and he's like check
[193]
this out swipe instamash swipe and
[195]
symmetra 30 plus matches within a few
[198]
minutes but back in my days you would
[200]
have to go to a bar and meet people and
[201]
actually talk to them all right so now
[203]
that we got that out of the way let's go
[205]
into the second tip if you want to rank
[206]
number one on google the second tip i
[209]
have for you is
[211]
optimize your title tag and your meta
[213]
description have you ever done a google
[215]
search and noticed that every time you
[217]
do it there's this link at the top and
[219]
then there's this one sentence well the
[221]
link at the top is called the title tag
[223]
and the description below is called a
[225]
meta description now think of it this
[227]
way if you search for the phrase online
[230]
dating and you don't see the word online
[232]
dating in either the title or the
[234]
description are you going to click on
[236]
the result
[237]
well if you are there's something wrong
[239]
because why would you click on a result
[240]
that isn't related to what you're
[242]
looking for in addition to that have you
[245]
ever done a search for a term like
[246]
online dating and have you ever noticed
[248]
that the word isn't in the title or
[250]
description that's because google tracks
[253]
who's clicking on what listing and
[255]
they've learned that when a keyword is
[258]
in the listing the same keyword that
[260]
you're searching for they know you're
[262]
way more likely to click through so in
[264]
your title tag and your meta description
[267]
make sure you include the keyword but
[269]
you can't just include the keyword like
[270]
online dating right the easiest way what
[273]
i would do and i wish it was this simple
[275]
i would just put online dating online
[276]
dating online dating online dating if i
[278]
could put it 20 times so people know
[280]
that the articles on online dating i
[283]
wish i would get more clicks but it's
[284]
not that simple yes you have to include
[287]
the keyword in your title and your
[289]
description but it has to be appealing
[291]
if it doesn't flow in a sentence it's
[293]
not easy to read and it's not appealing
[296]
or evoking curiosity no one is going to
[298]
click through the third thing i have for
[300]
you is to use google search console did
[303]
you know that google gives you a tool
[305]
that teaches you how to rank number one
[308]
on google
[309]
yes i know that sounds ridiculous but it
[311]
is true and it's called google search
[313]
console if you're not already a user of
[315]
it sign up it doesn't cost a dollar
[318]
you're missing out if you're not using
[320]
it i can't emphasize that enough so now
[322]
that you're using google search console
[324]
give it a few days because it takes some
[326]
time to populate data you'll see a
[328]
screen that shows search analytics and
[330]
this shows you all the pages on your
[332]
website that are getting you traffic but
[334]
the cool thing about google search
[336]
consoles they also show you which
[338]
articles are getting impressions and
[340]
here's what i mean by impressions you
[342]
know when you do a search on google you
[344]
don't always click through on a result
[345]
right if you did then you would be
[347]
clicking through on 10 results every
[349]
time you did a search that would be
[350]
insane what google shows is how many
[353]
people are seeing your listing and
[355]
clicking through and how many people
[357]
don't click through so they show you how
[359]
many impressions you're getting the
[360]
clicks and the click-through rate and
[363]
what you'll find is in general you're
[365]
lucky if you're getting around a five
[367]
percent click-through rate sometimes
[369]
10-15 but in most cases most of your
[372]
pages are going to be getting less than
[374]
five percent click-through rate now the
[376]
cool part about google search consoles
[377]
they show you all the keywords that
[379]
you're getting impressions for and all
[381]
the ones you're getting clicks for now
[383]
remember the first tip was about content
[385]
thoroughness and you want an article
[387]
that talks about everything under the
[389]
sun
[389]
well you can use google search console
[392]
to tie in back to the first tip so kind
[394]
of number one and three are related in
[396]
which you want to take all the keywords
[398]
you're getting impressions for and start
[400]
adding them to your copy now don't just
[402]
shove them in and have your content be
[403]
keyword rich where you know someone
[405]
reads it and all it is is online dating
[407]
tinder eharmony dating online meeting
[411]
someone from online dating right if
[413]
someone was reading your article and it
[414]
sounded just like that they're gonna
[416]
bounce off your site because that means
[418]
your content sucks and it just has too
[419]
many keywords it has to flow naturally
[421]
and be educational so you want to take
[423]
those keywords that you're seeing in
[425]
google search console and add them to
[427]
the article now we have an article on
[430]
instagram and it teaches you how to get
[432]
over 300 targeted instagram followers
[434]
per day that article is around ten
[437]
thousand words when i first wrote that
[439]
article it wasn't ten thousand words it
[441]
was roughly two thousand five hundred i
[443]
went to google search console i saw all
[446]
the people that are searching for terms
[449]
related to the article i added them
[451]
within that article i made it more
[452]
thorough and you know what my traffic
[455]
more than tripled to that article yes it
[458]
is that simple and when i made that
[460]
