This section highlights what you’re doing well. These are positive SEO elements that are properly implemented:

Action: Keep doing these! They contribute positively to your SEO score.

• Problem: No title tag is set for the page
• Fix: Set a title in your SEO plugin (Yoast, RankMath, etc.) or use WordPress’s default title
• Best Practice: Keep titles between 50-60 characters, include your focus keyword, and make them compelling

• Problem: No meta description is set
• Fix: Add a meta description in your SEO plugin settings
• Best Practice: Keep descriptions between 150-160 characters, include your focus keyword, and write compelling copy that encourages clicks

• Problem: Content has fewer than 300 words
• Fix: Expand your content to provide more value to readers
• Best Practice: Aim for at least 300 words, but focus on quality and relevance over word count

• Problem: No H1 heading found in content
• Fix: Add an H1 heading to your content (most themes use the post title as H1, but check your theme)
• Best Practice: Use only one H1 per page, include your focus keyword, and make it descriptive

• Problem: Images don’t have alt attributes or have empty alt text
• Fix: Add descriptive alt text to all images in the WordPress media library or directly in your content
• Best Practice: Write descriptive alt text that explains what the image shows. If the image is decorative, use alt=””

• Problem: Your focus keyword doesn’t appear in the title tag
• Fix: Update your SEO title to include the focus keyword naturally
• Best Practice: Place the focus keyword near the beginning of the title for better SEO impact

• Problem: The same title or meta description is used on multiple pages
• Fix: Make each title and meta description unique for every page
• Best Practice: Each page should have a unique title and description that accurately represents its content

• Problem: Links on your page return errors or redirect
• Fix: Update or remove broken links. For redirected links, update to point directly to the final destination
• Best Practice: Regularly check and maintain your links. Use 301 redirects for moved content

• Problem: No structured data (JSON-LD, microdata, or RDFa) found
• Fix: Add structured data using a plugin or manually. Many SEO plugins include structured data features
• Best Practice: Use JSON-LD format for structured data. It’s easier to implement and maintain
