Top 10 WordPress SEO Mistakes That Beginners Make by Joe Howard #376

Hi, and welcome to the SEO Podcast, Unknown Secrets of Internet Marketing. My name is Chris Burris, owner of eWebResults. I am Charles Lewis, your client results strategist. Welcome back to another fun-filled edition of our podcast. This is podcast number 376. As always, we have a tip. It just keeps growing. It just keeps going up one by one. We have a tip from our previous podcast, and that tip is compare month-to-month and year-to-year data when reviewing results. Yeah, there's no need to just look at the current month's data and determine if it's doing well or doing bad. Instead, compare that data to the previous months so you can make sure your kind of small stuff's actually working. And then compare it to annual data, if you have it, to make sure that you're actually improving year over year. Subscribe, follow.

Awesome guy. He's going to reach out to you. He's going to schedule a call for you to talk to Chris, and he's going to analyze everything. Literally, Matt, yesterday or today, based off a meeting yesterday, the people we

were meeting with was like, that dude's a genius. That's who's going to give you a call. Yeah, yeah. Take advantage. Absolutely. I've got a little bit of news. You've got some news also. Let me do one piece because of how this technology is not working well for me. Thank you, Microsoft. And then I'll come back to mine. So the first piece is there was a court ruling. It is okay to modify your ink cartridges. I don't know if you know this was in court, but Epson was suing so that people could not refill their cartridges after they were used. Which seems very counterintuitive to me. Like, I bought the damn cartridge. It's my damn cartridge. Like, unless you make some arrangement that we're leasing the cartridge, in which case you should give me money back. I don't know. I mean, you know, they want you to come buy new cartridges. They're trying. Yeah. And they failed. So now you can. They've succeeded with me because I've just. Oh, yeah. I've had one situation of trying to refill cartridges and then lost a good pair of pants. And so I'll just buy new ones. I don't even try no more. I was worried you were going to say shoes. Oh, no. I would have figured out something. Yeah. It would be the new Splash version. I've never seen these. No one has these. There's a reason for that. All right. A little bit of news. Let's get into some Google news. So this is almost AlgoCat, except it's in beta. Okay. It's in beta. And so we want to see. It will be AlgoCat soon. Yeah, especially if they roll it out at the very least. So in Houston where I can test it, I couldn't really make it cat until I actually seen it with my own eyes. Right, right. But Google is introducing the buy now button in beta. And so merchants, if you're a merchant and you choose to take part in this and qualify for it, then the beta program will allow

you to include a buy on Google button at the top of your product ads in the search results page. Purchasing a product from Google search requires the user being a user of Google Wallet. So it's not really a lot of people. And then clicking on the buy button will send that Google Wallet user to a Google hosted page where the product can be purchased. So this is good news for any of those who participate in Google Merchant right now and you have products there. Well, you will soon be able to add a buy button. So instead of them clicking on that to eventually come to a page, they can buy it right from there, depending on if they're a Google Wallet user. I can't say I knew this was coming. Right. I didn't think I would see this news today. Right. But I thought about it last week when I was pulling news and I noticed that when I was, so last week I was setting up local listings on Apple Maps. Right. Two of our clients, right. Right. And during the setup process, they literally ask you in Apple Maps, do you accept Apple Pay? And I know that's because on the search results page, if you offer something, they're going to allow people to pay and register via Apple Pay if you offer it. And so when I saw that Google Wallet, this was coming and it would only work with Google Wallet, I get it. At the end of the day, Apple and Google, they need to make sure they already have a verified billing relationship with you and payment relationship so you can pay without having to input any credit card info. I get it. My last piece of news, so that's what's up. Like at the end of the day, it's just going to be more important to have great titles and great images because there's becoming less and less of a need for people to actually visit your website. Yeah. Purchase right from the search. Exactly. More news. This

is kind of interesting. Study argues that Yelp drives higher conversions than Google and Facebook. Okay. So a new consumer survey from Nielsen argues that review sites drive higher conversions than search and social media. The survey of 2,000 U.S. adults found in 92% said they made a purchase after visiting Yelp, at least sometimes and frequently or almost always. Which makes sense. Yeah. Like I kind of do the same thing. You know, it's like, okay, check, check, check, and then hit the review site to make my final decision. Right, right. And so I'm not surprised that Yelp. Probably has a lot to do with restaurants, though, right? Like if you throw in restaurants. Well, exactly. But it didn't say what the 2,000, what their surveyed service was, right? Right. So, yeah, anytime it's movie, restaurant, any physical establishment you can go to, any place of entertainment. Yeah. That anytime it's B to C, right, I think is when Yelp really kicks in the most. Maybe plumber. Also, at first I wasn't thinking plumbers, but yeah, plumbers. Yeah. But for us, yeah, no, not really B to B. Yeah, Yelp, not really an issue for us per se. You do better checking our Google reviews. Yep. Interesting. So the other pieces of news that I have over here on this different place is you had to see all the ads about the Essential Phone by Andy Rubin. So Andy Rubin, he was, they call him the father of Android, right? So he's come out, started a company, come out with a phone. So I thought that was pretty cool. And they're doing lots of marketing. And then Waze is expanding their carpool service, right? You use Waze or you use Google Maps? I'm Google Maps, man. I use Waze every now and then. Right. But for the most part, I'm Google Maps just because I have it. Yeah. Yeah. I use Waze. It's just kind of cool. Well, apparently there's a couple of other places, let's see, I'm trying to think of, like Lyft and Uber, you can

do carpool. But it's not like a traditional carpool where we live close by, I'm heading that way anyway, and we connect it. But Waze offers that. Yeah, Waze is that you know who's going which direction, what time, what part of town. Now, Uber is like, hey, there's already an Uber coming from that suburb heading into town. Is there anybody else who wants to join this particular ride and split the feet or whatever? Yeah, and I've always said no. It's just kind of interesting. It might, you know. I'm just not interested. You know, taking the Uber enough. Right. It's already enough. Like, I got to deal with this driver I don't know. And it's okay. I'm sitting in the back seat. You know, my door is unlocked. That sort of deal. You know, just to have some more random people hop in. Nah, I'm going to do it. It's a little uncomfortable. All right. Well, that is the potatoes of our podcast. Any more patiffs or anything? Let's all look up. Let's get into the meat. So, like I said, today's article is called the top 10 WordPress SEO mistakes that beginners make. And this was posted by Joseph Howard and the good folks over at Search Engine Journal. Joseph Howard. The headline got me at first because I was like, WordPress SEO mistakes. Right. All right. Let me see what this is about because we use WordPress. Yep. That's our platform of choice. It's possible that we're making some of these, right? We definitely do SEO. Right. And so, it was worth me seeing what his top 10 list was and comparing it not only to what we've kind of seen in the industry, but our process and kind of making nuts and bolts of it from there. He starts off with, dig this new stat. WordPress powers over a quarter of the internet. Wow. He says, really, more than one in four websites on the web are built on it. Let me just stop right here to say, about a year and a half

ago, Chris and I reported that 20% of all websites on the internet were built on WordPress, which is more like one out of five. Right. Right. And so, the fact that he's saying one out of four a year and a half later. More than one out of four. More than one. It's not surprising to me. No. I can guarantee. I can count. Yeah. Every time I talk to a client, a potential client, or even a friend who has a new site and they have a question or whatever it is, yeah, there's about a 25%, 30% chance that they have WordPress credentials they can share with me. Yep. It just is that way. Yep. And so, great article. Let's look at some of these WordPress SEO mistakes that the beginners make. Number one. Number one. He says, you don't set your time zone. You ever done that? I have done that before. I just didn't set my time zone. Matter of fact, he says, be sure to make this adjustment to ensure your blog is producing timely content. Now, let me stop and caveat here and say most of his article is referencing WordPress as use of primarily a blogging platform. We tend to use it as an entire content management system, so it's a little bit different. But in this case, the article is still relevant. But, yeah, set your time zone. That is the biggest mistake from people I've logged in. I've logged in people's sites and be like, they don't have a time zone set. Oh, they only have several of these general settings set. Let me go ahead and set these for a while. I'm already in there. It's important to do that, especially if you're blogging. If you're blogging consistently, maybe you are in entertainment, like entertainment or sports, or maybe you are in politics even, then it's going to be extremely important that the date and time is set on your WordPress site. So that way, your scheduled post and all of the posting that you're doing will actually show

up with the right date and the right time and the right location. Because if you don't, what you don't want to do is publish something right now, this hour, that's relevant to what just happened. And your date and time has it either outdated or, frankly, a post in the future for a date that hasn't even come yet. So make sure that you set the date and time zone in your WordPress general settings. It's not hard to go to. Go to settings. Go to general. Make that update. Pretty easy. That's a big mistake people tend to make. Number two. Two. You don't set your goals in analytics. Right? And so he was talking about WordPress that's your mistakes. And I was like, well, I was number two talking about analytics. But I get it. Because analytics usually works, or especially the way I use it, I tend to set goals in analytics based off of the, conversion page, that thank you page. And so in WordPress, if you're using, let's say, I don't know, Contact Form 7 or whatever your MailChimp plug-in, whatever lead capture you're using, you need to make sure that once it's submitted, it takes them to a thank you page. Thank you for downloading this. We'll be contacting you shortly. Thank you for subscribing. Check out these latest blog posts. Thank you for contacting us. In the meantime, like us on Facebook. Whatever you have on that thank you page, you just make sure you have one. And then take that URL, and what he's saying is set a goal for that URL in your Google Analytics. Yeah. Why would you do that? Because you need to know where people came from, how they engaged with your site, and how they eventually got to that goal. That newsletter subscription, that contact form submission, that purchase, that download, whatever the goal is. Just make sure you have in Analytics that you've actually set up the right goal for that. Keyword being the right goal. Right. Right. I've logged into plenty of accounts of

analytic accounts, and I'll see tons of goals. And at first, I'm like, man, this site is converting amazing. Right. I'm thankful this client even has goals set up. Then you click a couple more clicks in, and you realize these goals are absolutely useless. Right. If you have a goal set for average time on site, you know, and it exceeds 90 seconds or whatever your goal is, it's not really a legit goal. Because people spend average time on site for different reasons. Right. A lot of people pull up a site and get distracted and leave. Right. And now your site, average time on site is inflated because somebody got busy. And so, set goals. My key is set goals based off of actionable items. Yep. Literally, call to action. Right. And so, make sure you have an actionable goal. If this required a phone call, it's an actionable goal. Right. Track that. If this required a download or a contact submission, track that. These are actions that people actually took. All of the pages per visit. That's good information to know. Don't really need a goal for that. You can go look at an all-traffic report and kind of see all of that from a glimpse. But, he's right. Make sure you set your goals on analytics. That is a mistake that I see a lot of people make in WordPress. Did he mention specifically driving them to the thank you page? Yep, he did. Very good. Yeah, he said createyoursite.com slash congratulations is the example he used. Right. But, yeah, he says make sure that URL is the goal that you set in analytics. Punching the face to you, Joe, because I do the same exact. Think. Number three. Number three. You don't add open graph or social metadata. This is a huge mistake I see a lot of people making, especially with, you know, sites being used socially so much. Every blog you create, every post you, you know, you publish, if it's getting shared on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter, then you really want

to have some open graph social metadata. Yeah. Oh, my God. What is open graph social metadata? Yeah, that's true. This is the data that your site is feeding to the social profile so they can display what you want them to display. Now, if you don't do that, then Facebook is going to likely take your meta description or maybe the first paragraph. A random image. Or they may even, random image, they may even pull some content and truncate it and publish it there. But if you clearly identify within WordPress what the image should be, that's in the open graph, what the meta description should be, that's in the open graph. Then Facebook will pull exactly what you indicate and display that. Matter of fact, he says, although social signals don't have a big impact on ranking, there's no debate that social media can help bring people to your website. And so I agree with this. We all understand that social signals do have some impact. That's why we continue to post consistently and drop these kind of triggers. But it's not the biggest impact. The bigger impact is the fact that that'll generate website traffic from literally people engaging with you on social media. And so you just want to make sure that you're showing them the right image. You want to make sure that you're giving them the right description so when they are swiping through Facebook and they come across your post, they'll see the right image, they'll see the right title that'll entice them to click. If you want to check, if you're using open graph, then all you need to do is take the URLs from one of your pages, paste it in a Facebook post that you're about to make, and it should auto-populate the image from that post. You can tell, right? Usually, if it's done right, if your image has the right dimensions, then whatever featured image you set in the WordPress post will be the image that they show. The challenge is a lot of times people's image

doesn't meet Facebook's standards. Right. And so Facebook says this image is poor quality. Chops it up. And they choose a different image. And sometimes if you use open graph, you can actually have multiple images, and so you can scroll through and select the right image for that particular post. Yeah, exactly. Mind you, let me just say this before I move on to number four. I said when we started this post that internally, we build all our client sites on WordPress. We have a custom framework that works on WordPress. It's all built on Bootstrap. The reason I say that is because the time zones, the goals, well, not the goals, but the open graph data, and even number four, and five, are things that we kind of built into our framework to prevent these kind of mistakes. Number four. Four. He says you didn't create and submit your XML sitemap. Right? And so this is like a new WordPress build-out. You just optimized your site. And this is, we're going over the top ten WordPress SEO mistakes that beginners make. And number four is you didn't create and or submit your XML sitemap. Matter of fact, he says an XML sitemap is pretty much a big list of every post page and piece of media on your website. It's what you submit to Google through Search Console to tell them everything that you want indexed. Duh. This is SEO 101, right? After you've done this, you've paid, your site's published. If you're using Yoast, right, that would be my SEO plug-in of recommendation. Yoast has a section in there for XML sitemaps. Click that. You'll see your sitemap. Take that link and do exactly what he said. Submit it in Google Search Console. One thing he didn't say that I'll say is go ahead and submit it to Bing Webmasters also. Makes sense to go ahead and do it in both places because those are the top two search engines. But don't make the mistake and not submit your sitemap. It's important that you do that.

Yep. Five. Number five. You didn't set permalinks to your post name. Yeah, so all your site says yoursite.com slash page ID equals blah, blah, blah, question mark, you know, when the cows come home. And so don't do that. That's a horrible experience for the user. It's detrimental to your search rankings. It's important that you have a keyword-friendly or, better yet, search-friendly URL. Yep. He says Google loves to give people content that's user-friendly. That means even your permalinks are going to play a small part in how your page is ranked. Yep. They do. I'll add this, though. And this is something we've kind of seen frequently. Understand, because WordPress will give you some options on how you want these permalinks to work. Right, and you can either use their default options or you may need to go into your HT Access or whatnot to kind of custom how you want them to look. But the key is keeping them simple. Yeah. Right. I think that the challenge I see a lot of people make is they'll have the category in there. They'll have the blog title. The word, the category. The word. That's what I'm saying. Word, category. Then the title. Then the date and the month. You know, and so you end up with this long URL when the first three slashes are really. Nonsense. No, nonsense and don't help the user at all. Right. Maybe the date and time. Maybe. Probably not. Probably not. You know, it's good. That's what I'm hearing when you say maybe. What you really want to go is just with .com slash post title. Yep. Page name. Whatever that is. And then keep it really, really simple, easier for Google to index and easier for the users to kind of understand what that page is about if they look at the URL. Yeah. So make sure you set your post links to the post name. Set your permalinks to the post name. Number six. Six. You didn't link to your homepage from your footer. Pretty good one right here,

Joe. He says everybody has a name of their website or business in their footer. So why not link it to your homepage from this anchor text? This will help your internal linking strategy as well as help Google recognize your site through branded anchor text. Don't go overkill with this. Right. You already got enough links on your homepage. Right. Yeah. From main menu to secondary menu to whatever featured areas or sections you have to whatever internal links within your content. We even include a footer menu. And so then on top of that footer menu, really no need to have another link. Now, I get the intent of the anchor text. The total intent and the reason why you want to have your logo linked to the homepage. Yeah. It's not for ranking or link use or anything like that. This is strictly for usability. This is for giving those people who happen to scroll, especially on a mobile device, all the way to the bottom of the page, yeah, they need a way to get back to the homepage or to the top. And usually that link logo, that home button or whatever is in your footer is relevant for that purpose. I think he's also adding, so normally you have the address in the footer, right? So let's put it this way. Normally we talk about, you know, we get a prospect to a call and say, hey, I'm on the first page of Google. Or really? What are you on the first page of Google? And let's say it was us. It was like, well, when you type in eWeb results, I'm on the first page. I'm actually in the first position. Wah, wah. Right? Like, that's not a big deal. Right. It should be. Now, if you're struggling at all, this suggestion is actually a really good idea, right? So make sure that your name is listed with your address and your footer and that your name links to your homepage. So now you have relevant links with your name to your homepage.

Everything makes sense. So, yeah. I just, you know, Charles is saying, be careful because we end up with a lot of levels of menus and you want to be careful of how many you have. Yeah, top menu, main menu, footer menu, right? So you just don't want to be duplicating these menus and having, you know, Google has came out and explicitly said they're only going to give credit to the first link to a certain page on a website. And so if you have more than four, then the rest of those can be considered spammy. Start getting spammy. Exactly. Number seven. Seven. He says, you don't publish content regularly. Remember, we're talking Joe Howard's article on Search Engine Journal, the top 10 WordPress SEO mistakes that beginners make. Number seven is you don't publish content regularly. He says, publishing more content gives people the reason to regularly visit your site. This also will help rank for more keywords. Now, I think this is kind of more of a blog kind of recommendation. Like I said, we tend to use WordPress as a full content management system. Right. Not just for blogging. But if you are blogging with it, then you should be posting regularly. Regularly. Yep. Regularly means whatever you can commit to that will allow you to produce quality content. Don't regularly produce crap content. It's a waste of time. Waste of effort. It's going to frankly do more harm than good for you. But if you can commit to weekly or monthly or biweekly coming up with an article that's relevant, that actually serves a purpose, that has a great image and great support in media, that answers a question, then commit to doing that at least monthly. As often as you can do it, the key is to be consistent with it. And that way, WordPress and Google and other search engines can begin to understand how often you post, the type of content you post, and how quality that content is. What you don't want to do is get people in the

habit of finding your site and you have this kind of poor regurgitated content that's not original, not relevant, that's duplicate, that's just not a good experience for the Google user. That'll get you some high bounces, which would in turn probably affect your ranking. And so, don't do that. Number eight. Now, remember number seven was you don't publish content regularly. Number eight is you don't update content regularly. So, it's a slight difference, right? So, publishing content would kind of insinuate creating new content and then publishing that. Updating content is kind of updating what you already have. Matter of fact, he says, when people find your content via search but discover it is outdated, after clicking through, they will immediately hit the back button and look for another site that answers their question. He's right. He also says, ensure that the content is relevant to people today and that you care enough about visitors to update your content. He's right again. Look, if you, maybe you rank for something and you've been ranking for it for a long time and you get a lot of traffic for it. I'm not saying go change that page because it's already ranking and you're getting traffic for it, but update it, right? Like, maybe some of that content could be outdated. Maybe times have changed and you need to add something to that page. Update that. Now, I'll take us some time here to say, take this time to update your pages. And I think pages kind of fall in three things, right? You got target pages, right? So, whatever your main products or services are, definitely update those. Right. Make sure that they're relevant, make sure that they're up to date with the latest information in reference to that product and or service. Your company pages, about us, contact us, frequently asked questions, whatever those are, update them, right? If you've been in business for so long, let's say since 1985 and it's 2017, and your about us page says over 20 years in business, then you need to

update that because you're closer to 40 now. And so, you need to make that change. Maybe you've added a new location, changed some employees, hired a VP, whatever it is. Go update that history page, that contact us page with the right information. Maybe you got a new phone number, new email address. Update those pages. Make sure it's up to date, yeah. Yeah, keep those pages updated because those count as pages. So, those target pages, company pages, and then, of course, your blog post pages. Maybe you got blog pages that are ranking really, really well. Posted it a year ago, but it's some evergreen content. It gets a lot of traffic. Content is probably outdated if it's more than a year old. Go revisit it. If it's not, great. If it is, update it. The point is, update your content regularly. Number nine. Nine. He says you don't check for broken links. This is not only a WordPress SEO mistake. This is kind of SEO one-on-one kind of neat task that you need to complete. He says you don't check for broken links. He says Google likes a clean website. That means you'll want all your links to stay updated and avoid pointing visitors towards any pages that are showing errors. Right. That is just a horrible experience to click on a page and it says 404 or 500 or a page can't be displayed or resource not found or whatever the error message is. It's just a horrible experience. So check your site for broken links. They got all kinds of software to do that. Broken leaks hurt SEO and usability. Like this is a double-edged sword. It's just not good from the user perspective and for the search perspective. So check for broken links on your site and then fix them. Right. Either remove them. Either change them. Either 301 them. Whatever you have to do to fix them but don't leave them like they are. Yeah. Last one. Number 10. He says you don't implement simple schema markup. And all these are things

you can do in WordPress. That's why he has them on his list. He says the majority of websites don't use schema markup at all to influence how their pages show up in search results. That's a sad truth. We see it often. Right. And so now it's probably just a matter of versions before WordPress rolls that out. Yeah. Where you put your address here and it's already marked up in schema. Our framework already does that. Yeah. And that's because we just understand the importance of it. And so, yeah, make sure you implement simple schema markup. At the very least, name, address, phone. Yeah. Right now, depending on the level of resources you have access to, if you're a restaurant, you may want to mark up your menu, directions. Maybe if you're a theater, you may want to mark up events. Locations. For restaurants too. Yeah. Your location. Their schema offers a whole gamut of things that you can mark up using structured data. And so, take advantage. Yeah. At the very least, name, address, phone, but depending on your resources, do max out everything you can possibly mark up, do it. Mark it up. Now, he closed with this summary. He says, if you want to build a website and grow traffic using SEO, WordPress is a great way to go. Yes. It is. That's why we recommend it. That's why we use it. It's a great tool. It's open source. It loads fast. Just use it the correct way. I've seen some really slow WordPress sites, some poorly designed WordPress sites, and I've seen some amazing ones. So, it's definitely our tool of choice.

We actually have a program that is called Instant Leads. Lead, lead, lead, lead, lead. Guaranteed. T, T, T, T, T. This is optimized pay-per-click campaigns driving traffic that's looking for what you're doing to an optimized landing page. It's optimized for what? For conversion. Yeah. So that those people who search for you, what you do, found a page where they can find what you do. Fully optimized. Yeah. Let me just take a brief moment to explain that because I'm doing this because I had this conversation recently. Right. Last week with somebody, we were talking PPC versus SEO. And when I mentioned optimized pay campaign, that confused them. Right. Because most people kind of simulate optimization with SEO. Right. Right. It literally stands for search engine optimization. Right. So how do you optimize a pay campaign? Well, that's just by understanding what those keywords are, have filtered out the negatives, have added the new ones, have made the adjustments to the landing page, to where it got the right target, like have consistently tweaked and maintained the page until it's performing at an optimal rate. Manage the times. Right. There's an example. Manage the times that the ads are showing. Yeah. So all of that constant tweaking and misogyny of the campaign is what we call an optimized pay campaign. Yep.

And now they've searched for what you do or offer. They found our highly optimized campaign. They're seeing that ad for what you do or offer. They land on a page where they see and understand that you're a credible source of what you do or offer. And then they engage with you. So that's our instant leads guaranteed program.
