⏰ #Now - What I have been up to

I recently started working on local SEO for a client and diving deeper in Google My Business. I also made some interesting contacts with last week's post... More on that in a few weeks. I am preparing an article looking back at my 2019 form a marketing standpoint: things I did, events I participated in and key moments for my professional activities.On that note, I am looking for new projects! Feel free to contact me if you hear about an SEO/digital marketing consultancy opportunity. 😊

In one of his famous Webmaster HangoutsJohn Mueller gave hints on Dealing with Low Traffic Pages.  Roger Montti summed up the key elements in his article on Search Engine Journal.In a nutshell, there are two approaches to this:

  • Remove non-performing content
  • Improve existing content

Both approaches are valid, but choosing one will depend on your data. Speaking of data, John Mueller also recommends considering other metrics than just Page Views, as those can be misleading on low-traffic pages.
