- Iterating on the previous steps

Planning

Competition Review
- Search as your customer
- Review top three search engine results
- What do you like? What are they doing well?
- What can you do 10x better?
- Placement and use of keywords
Content Gathering
- Focus on content, not design
- Wireframe – Copy site plan into real pages on dev website
- SEO – identify keywords people use when searching for your product
- Review existing content, what to keep or discard or make new
If you create a page on a keyword that is 10x better than the pages being shown in search results (for that keyword), Google will reward you for it, and better yet, you will naturally get people linking to it!”
