How to Speak Search Engine.
Ever listen to a child ask questions of Siri? Have you watched them say, “Ok, Google…” and proceed to ask what seems to be an awkward string of words? Believe it or not, children tend to speak “Search Engine” better than we do. Children have defined “structured” language choices with simple terms that haven’t been corrupted by years of nuanced definitions, metaphors, and colloquialisms. These clear, singular definitions are exactly what Google wants from you too, and we’ll talk about how to accomplish that.

Log File Analysis is rarely touched on by the average SEO... but you're missing out on data that is pure gold. Imagine not "guesstimating" how Googlebot and other crawlers behave on a website with traditional crawling tools and actually knowing how Google is crawling a client's site? Imagine not having to play by the 1000 row limit in search console (without delving into the coding or the API) and having limitless data? All of this and more can be done with Log File Analysis.
Learn how to actually get log files from clients (without making their brain hurt from excessive SEO jargon) and handle different Log File Types & how to diagnose any crawling issue by analysing crawling rates by sub-folder or by crawl depth, seeing behaviours on low value add URLs, reviewing how Googlebot behaves based on page speed and much, much more!

Server Side Rendering Your Content
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wvZ7gakqV4
If you search for any competitive keyword terms, it’s always
going to be server rendered sites. And the reason is because
although Google does index client-side rendered HTML, it’s not
perfect yet and other search engines don’t do it as well.
So if you care about SEO, you still need to
have server-rendered content.
