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!!

Legit Reviews

The google review thing is insane I have gotten 2 legit verified reviews that i ask client to screenshot and observe goolge not post them, pretend like they never happened and when i sent them the image a policy message was sent . As I was browsing through the google forum a lot of ppl are getting hit with legit reviews being removed. While all this is going on i have observe a company go from 12 reviews to 65 reviews in a two month period with some stuff that dont make sense on some of them. Seems like a new business or profile is being limited while aged accounts can have a free for fall but who really knows. Still waiting for a resolution on a if any. submitted by /u/Ok-Bowl-6167 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/zkbfgDH

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

7 SEO Lessons I've Learned in 2025 (So Far) - From Building a Competitor Analysis Tool

Hey r/SEO , I've been spending a lot of time lately building a competitor keyword research tool (more on that below!), and it's really forced me to dig deep into how SEO works today . Here are some of the key lessons I've learned – hopefully, they're helpful to you too: Keyword Gaps Are Gold: It's not enough to just know what keywords your competitors rank for. You need to know what they rank for that you don't . This is where the real opportunities lie. Focusing on these "gap" keywords has been a game-changer for my own site. (This is actually why I built the tool – to make finding these gaps easier). Relevance > Volume (Sometimes): High search volume is great, but relevance is even more important. A keyword with 100 searches per month that's perfectly aligned with your niche and audience is often more valuable than a keyword with 10,000 searches that's only tangentially related. I've seen much better results targeting tho...
