Information sources for SEO in Magento

[Tomybay]

Hello,
I am finally finished with my Magento web site.

Now, begins the ongoing optimization process, however, I cannot find useful information regarding Meta tags, building links, keywords...

The only information that I find is the basic SEO setting in Magento.

Does anybody has any tip regarding tutorials for the above mentioned subject?

Thanks

magento is no different to any SEO. there are plugins that help the mechanics. but build it for your user, consider how they will search, name the products properly, use unique descriptions for products (don't cookie cut), have good descriptive (including the search terms) category content. make your titles unique and descriptive, have the calls to action and selling in the description (meta description) for every page.

Try https://yoast.com/articles/wordpress-seo/

Faceted navigation can cause problems, so it's something to be aware of - https://paulnrogers.com/layered-faceted-navigation-seo-issues-in-magento/

if I had to cite a link it would be this one. https://yoast.com/articles/magento-seo/ but that is more specific and includes coding. Chat to your developers to see what they have already done.

oops sorry I meant to post the link OldWelshGuy has posted!

LOL that sounds like the kind of brainfart I had. Like Monday when I told a client "we will have the little Facebook bird"

Thank you very much guys.
The link that you recommended is great and I read it in the very beginning. Actually the content of the link is what I meant by basic magento settings explanation.

What I need is a setting tutorial for the "next steps".
By next steps I mean that after the basic configurations for SEO (which I can find the the above mentioned link) I would like to e.g link to other sites, add Meta tags, find competitors info....
So, the question is, where can I find a tutorial to do all that and be explained step by step how to do that in my my magento site admin?

Thanks again

Hi

Just a quick update, I found this DIY SEO course from "Fresh Bananas" (was published here in the forum). Seems like the right one for us.

There are a tonne of resources online for Magento SEO including the Yoast article posted already.
I can't post the links yet but if you visit Udemy (dot com) or Siteground (dot com), you'll find Magento SEO guides on there.

And there's lots of tutorials you can find on YouTube.

Thank you very much websensejim. Your recommendation is indeed a great source.

Tomybay you will need to have strategy what will drive benefits from your on site SEO quick tip Pinterest rich pins so powerful... etc... right now above the basic is still not enough

Themi8, thanks for the Pinterest tip. Seems like a good one.
I agree regarding the strategy but the above links are great start even though sometimes (and in the most free sources) all the info out there is a bit too general and not getting into the point of actually promote your business (I mean like actual tools and specific tactic). I find that SEO is a hard one (to learn online) and the experts keep the great "secrets" to themselves. maybe its just an illusion
