Why don't tou post a link and we need to Google it? Just curious if that is prohibited or something? Or you just want more people to Google your site?

ChaseReiner ✍️
Well the actual template itself with all the additional items in it is paid (such as conditional formatting, keyword mapping, screaming frog import section, etc.). Also, last time I wrote something in here with a link my post got removed.

John_Romaine
So it's a paid template. SMH.
ChaseReiner ✍️
Regardless of my other checklist being paid, it took a while putting this list together which I'm giving you for free.

whappit
Having more people click your link after searching for a keyword helps you rank higher.

chewster1
Yes. So in other words trying to manipulate the r/SEO community for personal gain to rank…
ChaseReiner ✍️
I'm sorry that you don't see any value in the thing I gave you for free.

searchcandy
Links are banned in this forum technically, tho probably ways around it

R_Illest
Fairly comprehensive should do a good job for most.
IMHO add this to it: the 90/20. The tech stack is as important as the rest of the site so I make sure page speed analysis scores are at 100/100; amp is enabled.

ChaseReiner ✍️
Eh, I generally only reccomend AMP if the site is news based.

R_Illest
Yeah I can see where ur coming from. I generally only do it for clients willing to go the extra mile but that featured posting helps a lot.
ChaseReiner ✍️
Yeah, I would be a lot more likely to reccomend it if I could customize the CTAs a bit better such as mail sign ups, etc. within it.
R_Illest
Why's that?
ChaseReiner ✍️
I don't understand your question. Why cant you customize ctas for email sign ups?
R_Illest
No I meant that customizing CTAs for email sign ups is a very specific thing to do, just for AMP. I was wondering what your reasoning was maybe it will help me out when I do it if I am overlooking something
ChaseReiner ✍️
Because siphoning your traffic is extremely important. Organic traffic alone is a major liability.
R_Illest
Hope i am not bothering you with this but please explain what you mean by liability and why syphoning it especially for purposes of email or otherwise relates to amp. I don't wanna come off as a dick I'm genuinely curious
Slappehbag
He's saying that with amp it isn't as easy to customize the CTAs for certain segments. Maybe it has to do with AMPs limitations on Javascript.
Why would you want to do that? Imagine you're an estate agent and somebody lands on your site. Your default call to action is "search for your next house here".
If you knew they are a poor student you could change that Call to Action (CTA) to "find a cheap student apartment to rent here." That should convert better. As would other CTAs for other segments.

netok
What is 90/20? I searched "90/20 SEO" but nothing comes up.

R_Illest
My bad I was referencing the 80/20 rule of things in general. Typo

chewster1
And in what ways is this better than the other pretty solid audit templates like those from Anne Cushing, Webris or Barry Adams?

ChaseReiner ✍️
Not saying it's better or worse than anyone just offering it for free to anyone who wants to use it.

montreal01
Not sure why ppl are so pissed at you .. thanks for the list bud – much appreciated.
ChaseReiner ✍️
Thanks Montreal, this is how the SEO community is.
i_eat_poops_
Yeah, it's really strange. Get a bunch of engineer types together in one place, and all you get are complaints about how everything isn't the way they like it.
ChaseReiner ✍️
Oh well, I've learned to live with it and help anyways.
orangegleam
