5 Easy SEO Hacks You Can Do In Under 55 Minutes For More Website Traffic
It’s pretty crazy but over 90% of all websites get zero traffic from Google.
That means despite the time spent building websites and creating content, most of it never actually gets seen.
In busy local markets, where multiple clinics may appear for the same search terms, small gaps in your SEO setup can be the difference between showing up or being overlooked entirely.
I have worked on thousands of websites and I can confidently tell you MOST websites have no backlinks (one of the most important Google ranking factor), most websites don’t even know what keywords they are targeting AND most websites have low quality or irrelevant content.
And it’s because of these missing pieces that most websites don’t rank on Google.
So here are 5 quick SEO fixes you can tackle RIGHT NOW in under an hour to give your website a traffic-boosting nudge in the right direction.
1. Optimize Meta Descriptions
Meta descriptions act like a summary for each page in search results.
A clear & concise meta description is super important, this is one of the first things a potential customer is going to see in search.
Keep it under 160 characters so Google doesn’t cut it off in search results.
Meta descriptions need to include relevant keywords and a call-to-action.
2. Make Sure All Media Has ALT Tags
Google can’t actually see images or video so ALT (stands for alternative) tags are absolutely crucial if you want the search engine to understand images and video.
Make sure each image has descriptive, keyword-optimized alt text to help with image search visibility and accessibility.
3. Check for Broken Links
Search engines judge broken links as a sign of poor maintenance (and they are right) or low quality content which can reduce your websites authority.
Use a tool like Broken Link Checker to find and fix any broken links, which can improve user experience and SEO.
4. Implement Internal Linking
Having a lot of healthy internal relevant links helps reduce bounce rate, keeps your clients more engaged and enhances crawling and indexing by the search engines.
The key here is to naturally create internal links, you want a well structured website that is actually beneficial and useful.
5. Claim or Update Your Google Business Profile
This one is my favourite for a reason, it’s free and it’s very important if you have a local wellness business (for example if you are a therapist in Vancouver).
I update my Google Business Profile once a month, I make sure my business hours and contact information is up to date. I also add a FAQ or some relevant information or photo to keep things fresh.
If you are having any events or promotions, this is the perfect place to do an update.
Sadly, only 50% of small businesses have claimed their Google Business Profile.
So, where do you start?
Pick one of these and implement it today. Even small updates can help improve how your practice appears in search over time.
If you’re an established wellness practitioner and feel like you’ve already done what you can on your own, but your visibility still isn’t where it should be, that’s usually where a more structured approach comes in.
