🧵 Common SEO Mistakes That Are Costing You Traffic (and how to fix them)
1/ Ever feel like your content should be ranking higher… but isn’t?
You’re not alone. Even seasoned SEO pros make mistakes that silently kill traffic. Let’s fix that. 👇
2/ Mistake #1: Ignoring Search Intent
You wrote a killer blog post, but does it match what people are actually searching for?
⚠️ If your content doesn’t answer the exact question users have, Google won’t reward it.
3/ Mistake #2: Keyword Stuffing… or the opposite
Too many keywords = spammy.
Too few = Google can’t understand what you’re targeting.
✅ Sweet spot: naturally integrate primary & secondary keywords and LSI terms.
4/ Mistake #3: Thin Content
Short posts might get indexed, but they rarely rank.
Storytelling + depth + actionable insights = content Google can’t ignore.
💡 Tip: Aim for comprehensive, skimmable posts with headers & lists.
5/ Mistake #4: Poor Internal Linking
Your old posts are goldmines. Linking them internally boosts authority and keeps users engaged longer.
Think of your site as a web, not isolated islands. 🕸️
6/ Mistake #5: Neglecting Page Speed & Mobile UX
Traffic doesn’t stick on slow sites. Google punishes slow-loading pages.
📱 Always test mobile experience — most SEO pros overlook this.
7/ Mistake #6: Ignoring Analytics & CTR Data
Traffic dropped? Check clicks, impressions, bounce rate.
Numbers don’t lie. Sometimes a small tweak in meta description or title can restore rankings.
8/ The good news: these mistakes are easy to fix, and the traffic gains can be massive.
Think of SEO like compounding interest — the sooner you fix leaks, the faster your growth. 📈
