Configuring the SEO Toolkit

Overview

You may start tweaking your SEO settings when you’ve installed the SEO Toolkit to your website and it’s online and loading from GreggHost’s servers.

Step 1 — Log into the GreggHost SEO Toolkit
This section shows how to go to the SEO Toolkit on your website.

Before continuing, you must point your website’s DNS records to GreggHost.

This setting allows the SEO Toolkit to track SEO rankings for a given location, as search engine results vary by nation.

Step 3 — Implement the SEO Toolkit’s suggestions
After that, the SEO Toolkit displays your website’s SEO score and provides ways to enhance it.

Sites powered by WordPress and GreggPress
The SEO Toolkit will walk you through making these adjustments in your WordPress dashboard if you have a GreggPress or One-Click Install website.

Sites that aren’t powered by WordPress
If your site isn’t built on WordPress, you’ll have to make manual changes based on the SEO Toolkit’s recommendations.

Step 4 — Add keywords
The words and phrases in your website’s content that allow visitors to find your website in search engines are known as SEO keywords.

Search engine robots can readily grasp what your website content is about and convey that information to potential users when your website is well optimized for search engines.

Step 5 — Add competitors
Other websites that have a comparable audience to yours are your competition. They might sell similar products to you, work in the same business, or provide similar information.

It’s critical to discover, analyze, and understand what kind of SEO work your competitors are doing on their websites in order to increase your SEO score. This allows you to compare your website’s performance to theirs and evaluate what works best for you in comparison to your competitors.
