What’s killing your SEO in 2025?
1) You’re not matching search intent:
Your target keyword is “best coffee brands,” but you are writing about “how coffee is made.”
It’s like showing up to a pizza party with sushi.
Fix it:
Use Google itself. Type your keyword and study the top results.
Bonus Tip:
Always write what your readers expect, not what you want to say.
2) You are ignoring Modern On-Page SEO:
Are you still using just bold keywords & H1 tags? That’s basic.
Fix it:
- Add internal links (i.e, link to your own blogs and pages).
- Add external links to high-authority sources (Moz, Ahrefs, SEMrush, etc)
- Use the schema markup like FAQ blocks.
- Optimize images with ‘alt text’ and compress them for speed.
