First blog post… would love some advice!!!

I have followed the advice I’ve been reading here and r/blogging and just published my first blog post (and launched my site)! From everything I’ve read, I guess my first post is doomed to be terrible and I’ll improve the more I write, but I’d still appreciate some advice!

My niche is neuroscience and I’m honestly having a bit of trouble making sure my content is easy enough to understand but also scientifically accurate. I’m quite worried my content is boring and robotic (I come from a science background that helped me learn to write technical reports not catchy blog posts …). I’m also struggling to fit in key words without it sounding unnatural.

Anyone from a similar background has any tips?

As for SEO and general audience growth, so far I have: - Added a site map to GSC for faster indexing (no pages indexed yet) - Got a cookie consent banner (beautiful cookie consent banner pluggin which supports WP Consent API pluggin). - Created a Pinterest account and some pins related to my blog post (have not got much success getting impressions though). - Shared it with a few people in my family but waiting for my site to be more polished before I share it with friends. - Added a FAQ section to my blog post

What I need still need to do: - Improve privacy policy and cookie policy page (if you’ve got any recommendations on how to create a privacy policy I’d love to hear them!!). - PUBLISH MORE BLOG POSTS (have some drafts already but really need to improve them) - Make sure the subscribe button works so I can create a mailing list. - More Pinterest pins? - Instagram account for short form content that links to my blog? - Share blog with more friends and family? - Contribute to relevant Reddit communities?

Any tips on other SEO strategies and how to implement them? But most importantly, any resources on how to write SEO-friendly science- related articles?

I would really appreciate if I you could take a look at my blog post (website link on my profile) and let me know what you think.

Thanks a lot!!

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

GMB territory inching with service company

Seeking advice on extending our service area, while our main GMB profile states SD County, we only rank in our neighborhood but we have the team to service much more jobs. The boss wants us to get addresses in these hot territories within the county and use call rail numbers to validate the GMB profile. Question: Does this still work? Will it catch up with us? OR is there a better way to rank in a territory for a service. We are 4.9 stars with 120+ reviews submitted by /u/SoCal619TradesPro [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/9RWmh6i
