In-house SEO for dummies

[timscullin]

I'm doing some SEO for a small company and they have a guy available to 'assist' me, but he isn't very SEO savvy. Also english isn't his first language.

If he could do 5-10 hours per week to help, and you were me, what sort of stuff would you show/teach him to do?

Thanks!

Hi timscullin

This is not an easy question... If I were you, probably focused on info about company. If that guy knows how the company works and who are the targeted customers, in his opinion.

Maybe he can help you to write about the company, and probably you'll be able to write content for landing pages more easily.

In fact, you must to see and decided how could that guy help me?

I hope this answered help you.

Yeah good thought, but unfortunately the guy is kinda new there too! ha

Im also thinking content creation probably isn't his strong suit.

Any other ideas?

Hi Tim,

These are the first things that came to mind:

• Find blogs about a specific topic, write down the PA and email address of owner.

• Find link directories relevant to your website, write down PA and email address of owner.

• Get keyword difficulty data for a list of 1000 keywords.

• Crawl website for 404's and give cms access to fix broken links

Goodluck and let us know how it works out!
