Blog writing might seem like a simple enough task. However, there are seemingly tiny SEO tasks (like adding alt text to images or creating unique slugs) that can slip through the cracks if you’re in a rush to get your post published. It might not seem like a big deal at the time, but it will if your content struggles to rank in Google search results.

That’s what this blog post SEO checklist is for. I’ve set it up in Trello so that each SEO task has its own card. Even if you’re running short on time, you’ll have an ongoing reminder of which optimizations still need to get done. This will ensure that everything you write and publish gets optimized to the fullest.
