Today’s Quick Tip….
This simple two-minute change can boost your blog’s Google rankings
Are you a blogger who is having difficulty getting your blog’s posts to rank well in Google’s search results?
If so, I’m going to tell you about one very quick (like two minutes!) change you can make to your WordPress blog that’s virtually guaranteed to boost your blog’s search rankings…
All you have to do is install the awesome Yoast SEO plugin from your blog’s WordPress Admin Dashboard.
This plugin has helped millions of blogs rank higher in Google, and it’ll help yours as well.
Simply installing the plugin and doing nothing more (literally, a two minute task) will give your blog a slight boost in the SERPS.
But luckily, you don’t have to stop there…
There are dozens of optional settings and tools you can tweak and use, each of which have the potential to give your blog posts an extra bit of search engine juice.
