If you’ve heard of the Netflix documentary called The life-Changing Magic of Tidying up: the Japanese art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Kondo, you probably may wonder if you can apply this to SEO. The answer is, you can. There are some great ways to tidy up your SEO so that it works for you, and to get rid of the fluff. Here, we’ll talk about how to do that in an effective sense
First, you want to commit yourself to the prospect of tidying up. From there, you can imagine the ideal lifestyle. In this case, have it be SEO. Next, you finish the discarding first. Then you tidy up by category, not by the location. You want to then follow the right order, and finally, ask yourself if it sparks joy.
So how does that work? First, you want to commit to tidying yourself and your site up, and do a proper SEO audit and implement corrections to the errors that you find. Use resources and tools to give actionable data. If you don’t have the talent or capacity, get the SEO experts too.
For the ideal lifestyle, you want to have a clear vision of the actual success and happiness that you have. Know what keywords work, and have an idea of what the ideal SEO is.
Next, discard the old content, and from there get any irrelevant items from robots.txt and then discard irrelevant pages from the site map. Finally, discard the old items from search indexes, such as for old subdomains and PDF that may be lingering around
you want to tidy this up by the category, not the location of the SERPs, and 3ssentially, you want to optimize by the keyword research, including the meta titles and descriptions, header elements, and the image alt text. You want to make sure that there aren’t any 404s or any internal links that don’t like to the right pages or any subdomains that are wrong.
With this, you want to follow the right order. This should be natural, but you should know the SEO, but also the impact that this creates.
Finally, you want to make sure that it sparks joy. Once you’ve started t change it, look at this and ask yourself if you’re seeing the results, and if yo9u are, is it sparking joy. If nor, you should quit spending time on the tactics that are there, going back to the basics. If you’re pending most of your time putting new content together and aren’t seeing results, you need to reevaluate and go onto the next topic. Content creation is important, but if you’re just cannibalizing, and thee are site issues, it’s not going to help you, so don’t do it.
The Marie Kondo method can be applied to different elements that are out there, not just cleaning your home or office. Here, we talked about how it applies to SEO, and how by doing this, does help you.
