Isaac, this is an ideal checklist!
As Bolupe said, the only thing I would add is to use an effective SEO tool.
I am guilty of including affiliate links in my posts and realise that it hurts my Google ranking.
As a result, I have started to do internal links to a review or affiliate post.
Rankings are now on the way back up.
Thank you for sharing!
