SEO is all about not requiring search engines to read your mind :-) — 🧀 John 🧀 (@JohnMu) October 2, 2021 How to improve your rankings on search engines If you do the right things in the right order, you will save a lot of time and money. Do the following things to get high rankings on Google and other search engine. 1: Understand how SEO works Read the chapter "The basics" in the SEOprofiler manual to learn how search engine optimization (SEO) will help you to increase your sales. You will save a lot of time if you understand the basic concept of search engine optimization before you start. For example, it is important to know that a single spam element on your website can destroy all of your other activities. 2: Choose your keywords carefully Take some time to find the right keywords for your website. The most obvious keywords usually aren't the best keywords for SEO. It is not important that your website is ranked for popular keyword that many people search for. It is important that your website is ranked for keywords that attract targeted visitors who will buy something on your website. Keyword suggestion tools can be found here. 3: Optimize your web pages Optimizing your web pages is important if you want to get high rankings on Google and other search engines. Links are important, but the content of your web pages is the foundation of your rankings. Web page optimization tools can be found here. 4: Get good links from other websites If more than one page is relevant to a keyword, the page with the best links will get the highest ranking. Links are an important ranking signal in the algorithm of Google, Bing and other search engines. Link building and link analysis tools can be found here. 5: Check your results When you have done all of the above, you can use the Ranking Monitor in SEOprofiler to find out how search engines rank your website. Note that it is not important that your website has high rankings for all possible keywords. Your website must have high rankings for the right keywords that lead to sales. Search engine optimization is not about getting high rankings for popular keywords. Search engine optimization is about getting high rankings for keywords that deliver buyers to your website.

"A sitemap should contain URLs that you want to have indexed -- if you're redirecting those URLs, that's somewhat conflicting signals. I'd try to avoid doing that for the long run."
Editor's note: Check the redirects on your website with the website audit tool.
Google responds to "Crawled - currently not indexed" issues
"This is because the Index Coverage report data is refreshed at a different (and slower) rate than the URL Inspection. The results shown in URL Inspection are more recent, and should be taken as authoritative when they conflict with the Index Coverage report."
Editor's note: Improve indexing of your web pages by checking your website with the website audit tool.
Google: control your title links in search results
"A title link is the title of a search result on Google Search and other properties (for example, Google News) that links to the web page. Google uses a number of different sources to automatically determine the title link, but you can indicate your preferences by following our guidelines for writing descriptive title elements."
