Update
Hi there.
So I just felt like writing out on what I have done so far and what I want to achieve more out of my site. I have already written some of the necessary posts and 4 reviews. Right now, I am working on on-site optimization and ensuring that all of my posts have the right keywords, meta tags, etc with the help of Yoast SEO, google search console, etc.
Once I am done with that, I will continue creating unique content(blog posts) with low competition keywords relating to the current trending topics in hopes of attracting more traffic.
But at the same time, I have to focus on off-site optimization as well. Now this is the part where I struggle. I know what off-site optimization is but I personally think it is a little bit harder as compared to on-site. How do I go about with off-site optimization?
I was researching on off-site optimization and came across SEO fiverr gigs that claims that they will get your page to number 1 rank in the SERPS. I have contacted most of them but I still doubt it. I dont know, I am kind of lost and need help with off site optimization.
Is it necessary? Which one should I focus on?
I commissioned a single post to be written and it came back with errors, spelling mistakes, grammatical errors etc and when I queried paragraphs that seem to contradict one another they would just delete the paragraph and return my gig saying they had made the necessary changes.
Not only that, they were asking me to give them extra money because they had done a good job!!
Focus on WA and the training here. You can't go wrong.
