Top 10 Quick SEO Wins [Less Than 30 Min Per Task]

Looking to improve your website’s visibility in search results but short on time?

In this blog post, we’ll explore the top 10 quick SEO wins you can implement in 30 minutes or less.

Let’s dive in.

Top 10 Tasks for Quick SEO Wins [Under 30 Min Each]

1. Find Low-Competition Keywords

Low-competition keywords are keywords that have few domains competing for them. Because of this, they’re easier to rank for — especially for new websites or small businesses.

Targeting low-competition keywords is one of the best ways to achieve a quick SEO win because you can rank fast and high.

You just need to know how to find them.

Luckily, that’s easy with LowFruits, which helps you find low-competition keywords in mere minutes.

Here’s how it works:

1. Navigate to the KWFinder tool and enter a seed keyword.

2. Select how you want to view your keyword report.

Tip: Typically, I’d advise the second option, which is to analyze all high-intent keywords in one go. High-intent means users are ready to take action, making them great for generating leads and conversions.

However, in this example, I don’t want to use 3.5K credits on keyword analyses, so I’ll select the first option to access all keyword ideas.

3. Once you’re in the report, set the SERP Difficulty Score (SD) filter to a max of 1. (SD is on a scale of 1 to 3, with 1 being the easiest.)

4. Check the keywords you want to analyze and click SERP Extract. This action will populate keyword data we’ll use to determine which keywords to prioritize and target.

5. The right columns will now have keyword data. Now, click the Volume column to sort your report by descending search volume.

6. Your list will now have low-competition keywords with high search volumes at the top. For this final step, pay attention to the Weak Spots column.

Weak Spots are low-authority domains ranking in the top 10 search results. These are competitors you can easily outrank. (The more weak spots there, the better your chances of ranking high in search results.)

From this 5-minute process alone, I generated over 200 low-competition keywords related to “dog food.”

If you were to repeat the process for a new seed keyword, you could have thousands of low-competition keywords in no time.

Targeting these keywords in your content equals faster rankings and higher positions in SERPs.

2. Leverage Keyword Clusters

Keyword clusters are the secret weapon of SEO pros.

And the best part is you don’t need years of SEO experience to use them.

A keyword cluster groups related keywords with the same search intent together. The idea is to create a group of keywords you can target on a single web page to maximize its visibility in search results.

It’s a highly effective method for extending the impact of one piece of content.

Now, here’s the caveat: If you don’t have a keyword clustering tool, you can do it manually in a spreadsheet. However, this can take significant time, which you likely don’t have.

The good news: LowFruits has a cluster feature that automatically groups your keywords for you.

When viewing a keyword report, click on the Cluster tab at the top of the page. This will change your view and show the main clusters for your report.

In the example below, we have 19 keyword clusters.

Each cluster could benefit from its own web page.

Now, you want to see the keywords within the cluster to inform your content optimization strategy.

To do this, click on any of the clusters.

LowFruits will open a list of keywords within your chosen cluster. You could these keywords on your web page, maximizing its visibility in search results.

If we didn’t have this tool, this process would take hours. And if you’re doing a serious clustering strategy, days or weeks.

But with the LowFruits KW Clustering feature, it’s done in seconds. You just have to open and view the reports.

3. Craft and Include FAQs

Now that you know some quick SEO wins for keyword research, let’s move on to content optimizations.

One of the easiest things you can do to rank in SERP features, which are enhanced search listings, is to include FAQs on your web pages.

FAQs answer popular user questions in a format that’s easy to view and digest.

And almost any page can benefit from them.

Whether it’s a product page, giving additional product details, or a blog post that recaps some of the main points from the article, FAQs have a chameleon-like ability to serve users in a variety of contexts.

At LowFruits, we use FAQs on our homepage:

And our blogs:

And we do it because we know they work.

FAQs have several benefits, including:

• Creating a positive user experience
• Providing additional keyword opportunities
• Ranking in Google’s People Also Ask (PAA) box (shown below)

Here’s an example of what it looks like to rank in PAA box from our friends at All in One SEO (AIOSEO):

Ranking in the PAA box builds brand awareness and generates more clicks.

The format of FAQs aligns seamlessly with PAA questions, making them a natural choice for search engines to use.

I’d also like to mention that you should support your FAQs with FAQ schema markup. This is a type of structured data that makes it easy for search engines to understand your FAQs.

WordPress users will be glad to know that AIOSEO has FAQ blocks that implement FAQ automatically for you.

Don’t have a WordPress site?

You can still add schema markup to your site manually. (Albeit, this process may take a little longer if you’re not familiar with HTML code.)

4. Use a Table of Contents

You might be doing this already without even knowing it’s good for SEO.

Including a table of contents (TOC) is a great way to provide users with a clear outline of your page.

A well-structured TOC can help users find and navigate the information they need quickly. This fosters a positive page experience, reducing bounce rates and increasing engagement.

It also helps search engines understand the main topic and subtopics of your page, which can encourage rankings for relevant queries.

When creating a table of contents, use the subheadings from your article or page. You should also include jump links, which take users to that section when they click it from the TOC.

5. Include Internal Links

Internal linking is the process of linking from one page of your website to another. It’s a core SEO best practice and helps search engines understand how your website is interconnected.

Well-optimized internal links can also support your keyword strategy.

By optimizing the anchor text for your link, you provide context for search engines about the topic and keywords of the linked page.

As for how to make internal linking a quick win for SEO, you need to make it a habit.

Get familiar with the content on your website and learn to recognize linking opportunities while writing. This strategy folds internal linking into your content creation process seamlessly.

It also doesn’t take any additional time because it’s as easy as hyperlinking the anchor text when you spot an opportunity. It’s literal seconds.

WordPress users, you’re in luck because AIOSEO has a Link Assistant that recommends internal links for your content. All you have to do is click Add Link.

(It even populates the anchor text for you, but you can also customize it.)

6. Demonstrate E-E-A-T

Google E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness.

It’s a framework content creators and Google Search Quality Raters use to assess content quality.

The idea of E-E-A-T can sound abstract to many website owners, but really it’s about demonstrating your expertise and knowledge in a particular subject area.

There are a few ways you can do this:

• Write in the first person.
• Align your content with search intent.
• Use author bios to showcase your background.
• Encourage customers to leave reviews.

None of these optimizations take significant time.

In fact, each task is often part of a larger strategy.

For example, writing in first person simply requires you to stop using “we” and replace it with “I.” Google and users love personal anecdotes and stories because it demonstrates first-hand experience.

This transmits positive E-E-A-T signals, which can improve your rankings.

7. Make Images SEO-Friendly

Search engines can’t “see” images like you and me, so it’s important to help search engines understand their significance.

You achieve this by using image SEO.

Image SEO is the practice of optimizing your image to be understood and ranked by search engines.

Let’s look at an example to see how it works.

Imagine we have a food blog, and we’re working on a new post about a baked orange pie recipe.

We’ll use the following photo for our featured image:

Here are some quick and easy image optimizations we can make to help search engines understand this photo:

• Use a descriptive image file name: baked-orange-pie.jpg
• Write SEO-friendly alt text: “A baked orange pie with orange slices resting on top.”
• Include image titles: Baked Orange Pie

Image optimizations are fast to do; they just require your attention.

Use your focus keyword in your optimizations to increase the likelihood of your image ranking in search results for relevant queries.

Image SEO can also help you rank in Google Images, where there are over 1 billion searches every day.

8. Check for Content Gaps

Content gaps are areas where your competitors are ranking, and you’re not.

But how do you know what your competitors are ranking for?

It’s easy with a keyword extraction tool.

Keyword extraction tools allow you to find competitors’ keywords and get insights into their content strategy.

With LowFruits, all you have to do is enter your competitor(s) domains into the Keyword Extractor. Select the Ranking tab at the top, and click Extract.

LowFruits will generate a report of your competitors’ top-ranking keywords, which you can download to your computer or open in LowFruits.

Getting one of these reports takes under 2 minutes.

You’ll need to invest more time into analyzing the results against your rankings to find the best content gaps to pursue.

9. Track Your Keyword Rankings

Don’t know where you’re currently ranking?

With LowFruits Rank Tracker, you’ll always know your top-ranking keywords and their positions in SERPs.

It only takes a few minutes to set up (you just upload or paste your keywords into the tool), then LowFruits will fetch your rankings automatically.

You’ll get this data in a user-friendly dashboard, like the one below.

You can expand any tracked keywords to view how their positions have changed over time.

LowFruits will also show you the top 10 URLs currently ranking in search results for that keyword.

The best rank tracker tools make monitoring keyword rankings a breeze, and that’s exactly what LowFruits does.

You don’t have to manually search for your position for each keyword or write down its position every time you check.

LowFruits collects all this data for you, saving you valuable time and informing your SEO strategy.

10 Claim Your Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile (GBP) is a free tool you can use to enhance your business’ visibility in local search results.

It allows you to display important details like your address, hours, and contact information directly in SERPs.

It can also help you appear in Google Maps.

For local businesses, a GBP is essential.

Plus, they’re really easy to set up.

To get started, go to google.com/business.

Then, click Manage Now.

You’ll be given an option to log in with an existing Gmail address or to create a new one.

From there, follow the rest of the prompts. They’re clear and easy to follow.
