1) Keyword Research — find the right terms

Do

  • Target commercial intent queries (brand + product type, “buy,” “price,” “delivery”).
  • Use long-tail phrases—more specific, often higher intent.
  • Check competitors to learn which keywords drive their traffic.

How Topify helps

  • Queries table with impressions, clicks, CTR, and average position for each term.
  • Views Popular / Growing / Decaying surface leaders, momentum, and early declines.
  • Near-Top 5 highlights keywords in positions 6–10 where small tweaks can break into the top results.

2) On-Page SEO — match the page to the query

Do

  • Title: ~60 characters; place the primary keyword early.
  • Meta description: 150–160 characters; clear and click-friendly.
  • Headings (H1–H3): logical structure that answers the main intent.
  • Internal links between related pages; URLs short and readable.

How Topify helps

  • Bulk SEO templates for titles, metas, and alt text.
  • AI content & JSON-LD generation to cover essentials quickly.
  • Internal Links Optimizer suggests high-value interlinks to strengthen topical clusters.

3) Content Optimization — write for users, not robots

Do

  • Satisfy the user’s intent (informational, comparison, purchase).
  • Place keywords naturally—avoid stuffing.
  • Add descriptive alt text for images and make content easy to read on mobile.

How Topify helps

  • Growing / Decaying views reveal content gaining or losing momentum.
  • AI hints and reusable templates speed up high-leverage updates.

4) Technical SEO — remove friction

Do

  • Improve Core Web Vitals and page speed.
  • Ensure mobile friendliness and HTTPS for trust.
  • Maintain an XML sitemap and correct robots.txt.
  • Monitor indexing issues in GSC.

How Topify helps

  • GSC coverage & performance side-by-side for quicker diagnosis.
  • Chrome Extension (On-Page SEO): inspect any page in one click.

5) Off-Page SEO — build authority

Do

  • Earn quality backlinks (partnerships, directories, guest posts).
  • Promote and distribute content beyond your site (social, communities).

How Topify helps

  • AI Mentions Report shows who references your brand and where.
  • Match link bursts to visibility trends in the dashboard to prove impact.

6) Local SEO — when geography matters

Do

  • Complete and optimize your Google Business Profile.
  • Keep NAP (Name, Address, Phone) consistent everywhere.
  • List in trusted local directories.

How Topify helps

  • Countries and Devices splits reveal strong and weak markets.
  • Compare CTR/position by country to guide assortment, pricing, and shipping decisions.

7) Analytics & Monitoring — measure, compare, improve

Do

  • Track trends by day / week / month and keep notes with annotations.
  • Prioritize tasks by business impact (what drives clicks & revenue).

How Topify helps

  • Main time series + KPI cards (impressions, clicks, CTR, average position).
  • Annotations on charts for releases, promos, pricing changes.
  • Automatic daily GSC sync with up to 50k rows/day, deep filters, and export to CSV/Sheets.

Quick launch checklist

  1. Connect your Google account with access to your store’s GSC property.
  2. Run the first sync (last 16 months of history).
  3. Open the dashboard:
    • Check Near-Top 5 and Growing/Decaying.
    • Add annotations for releases and campaigns.
    • Fix internal links and metadata on priority pages.
    • Review Countries / Devices splits and adjust.
  4. Repeat weekly: analyze → prioritize → implement → verify.

Bottom line: These seven steps are enough to build steady SEO growth. Topify removes busywork, brings complete GSC data into one place, and highlights the work that actually moves traffic and revenue.
