Lowest visited, least sticky, and lowest converting pages Can they be salvaged? Should they be salvaged? On your worst performing pages: ask: can you better optimize them or should you 301 to higher value pages? Remember to evaluate individual pages and then entire sections @AlanBleiweiss #BlueglassLA

Poorly performing pages? Do new keyword research to see if there are better, more appropriate, more relevant phrases Sometimes phrases that made sense a year ago may no longer be valid Sometimes a market has learned new ways to describe something@AlanBleiweiss #BlueglassLA

Follow this process And you just may get such great results you’ll think you’re in heaven!@AlanBleiweiss #BlueglassLA
