21 Steps for Basic Landing Page Optimization
Here are 21 steps I personally use to optimize a landing page.
- Research keywords for the category in Russian and Ukrainian.
- Prepare a content brief for the category description, review the finished copy, and add it to the page.
- Plan the page’s H2, H3, and H4 heading structure (using a browser extension).
- Title: write one specifically for the page, taking the keywords and search results into account. Add an emoji if appropriate.
- Description: write one specifically for the page, taking the keywords and search results into account. Add an emoji if appropriate.
- Add a category-specific selling point or trigger phrase to the search snippet. For vibrators, for example, that could be a mention of Mila Kunis or a call to action such as “have an orgasm” or “buy now” to improve CTR.
- H1: write one specifically for the page, taking the keywords and search results into account. Add an emoji if appropriate.
😍 Keywords: cover the main terms, variations, and synonyms people use to find the category. Add images to the page description. - Add one or two product videos or reviews.
- Publish five blog articles linking to the category with keyword-based anchor text.
- Add a table of the Ukrainian cities and regions where you ship products.
- Add a table linking to pages in the main category. Use varied anchor text that differs from the navigation menu.
- Add a table showing five top products and their prices to target price-related searches and potentially appear in a featured snippet.
- Add a comparison table featuring the most expensive, cheapest, and most popular products, with the aim of getting that information into the search snippet.
- Add a reviews section to the category description and decide how to present it.
- Prepare an anchor text list with five to seven main keywords.
- Order forum and community link placements using those keywords.
- Bring the page’s DR/URL Rating at least up to the level of leading competitors — 20+.
- Place medium-quality editorial links through marketplaces and outreach.
- Publish at least one press release on a quality site to help with indexing: choose a site, write the copy, and arrange the placement.
- Add links to the page from social media (social signals).
