Improve your website SEO with schema, keyword placement, CRO, and speed tips – Day 10 of 30-Day SEO Challenge

1. Use Schema Markup to Improve Website SEO Visibility

Imagine if your website could whisper directly into Google’s ear, saying, “Hey, this is a review” or “This is a Frequently Asked Question (FAQ)”

That’s exactly what schema markup does. It provides additional information behind the scenes, enabling Google to better understand your content.

Why it matters:

  • You’re more likely to show up with rich snippets (like star ratings or FAQs)
  • Your search listing becomes more clickable
  • It gives your SEO a little trust boost

Easy action:

  • Add FAQ schema to your blog posts to increase your chances of showing up in rich results.

  • Use Local Business schema on your contact or about page—especially if you’re targeting local traffic. (Pro tip: Search “local listings in [your industry]” to find places where your site should be listed.)

  • On WordPress? Install an SEO plugin like Rank Math or Yoast SEO to implement schema without touching any code.

2. Conversion Optimization Tips to Improve Website SEO Results

So someone finds your site. Great! But what happens next?

If there’s no clear path to action, you’re wasting the click. That’s where Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) comes in.

Simple CRO fixes:

  • Add bold, clear calls to action like “Get a Free Quote” or “Start Your Trial”
  • Clean up the layout—no clutter, no confusion
  • Make sure your forms are easy to find and fill out

When users don’t have to guess what to do next, they do it.

3. Strategic Keyword Placement to Improve Website SEO (Not Like a Robot)

Using the right keywords is still important—but how and where you use them matters more than ever.

What works:

  • Put your main keyword in the title, URL, and first paragraph

  • Use related phrases naturally throughout the page

  • Write like you’re talking to a real person—because you are

Search engines are smart. If your content reads well and matches the searcher’s intent, you’re on the right track.


 

4. Improve Website SEO with Faster Loading Speed

This is where you directly tell Google, “This is my property!” While Site Kit automates much of the Google Search Console verification tutorial, knowing other site verification methods is useful, especially for domain property verification. The goal is always to get your site ready to submit website to Google.

  • Common Methods: Beyond Site Kit’s HTML tag method, options include HTML file upload, DNS verification Google (for domain property), and linking via Google Analytics/Tag Manager.
  • Sitemap Submission: In Google Search Console, go to “Sitemaps,” enter your Rank Math sitemap URL  and click “Submit.” This is crucial for Google indexing new website content.

Test Your Website's Speed Like a Pro:

Here’s where you can actually see what’s slowing you down—and get suggestions to fix it:

  •  Google PageSpeed Insights – Google’s own tool with mobile and desktop scores
  • GTmetrix – Shows page load breakdowns and performance grades
  •  Pingdom Tools – Great for quick, visual tests from global locations
  • WebPageTest – Advanced insights with filmstrip loading views

Running your site through these tools just once can uncover opportunities to boost speed and SEO instantly. It’s like running a check-up before pushing your site harder in the rankings.

5. Build Backlinks from Local Listings

Want to show Google you’re trustworthy and local? Get listed.

Where to start:

  • Google Business Profile (a must)
  • Local directories or community pages

Bonus tip: Make sure your business name, address, and phone number (NAP) match exactly on every platform.

How can I improve my website’s SEO in Kenya without hiring an expert?

To boost your local SEO in Kenya, make sure your business is listed on:

  • Google Business Profile
  • Yellow Pages Kenya
  • Kenyans247
  • BusinessList.co.ke
  • TupangeBiz

These sites help Google verify your business location and improve your chances of appearing in local search results.

If you’re in Kenya and want free SEO tools, start with:

  • Ubersuggest (for keyword research)
  • Google PageSpeed Insights (to test site speed)
  • Google Search Console (for indexing and tracking)
  • Rank Math SEO (WordPress plugin for on-page SEO)
    These tools work globally and are perfect for anyone starting out in Kenya.

If your site isn’t appearing in local Google results, it could be due to:

  • Your website is not being indexed (submit your sitemap in Search Console)
  • Lack of local keywords or Kenya-specific content
  • Poor loading speed or mobile compatibility
  • Missing local backlinks or business listings

Fixing these can drastically improve your local visibility.

If your website isn’t appearing in search results, especially in Kenya, one of the biggest reasons could be that your site hasn’t been indexed by Google yet. Indexing is how Google discovers and stores your pages to show them in search.

Some common causes:

  • Your sitemap hasn’t been submitted in Google Search Console
  • Your site is set to “noindex” by mistake
  • There’s a lack of Kenya-focused keywords or local backlinks
  • Your site has a slow loading speed or mobile issues
