Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave: Google Music Store
Google has just launched their new Music Store, and it’s full of some truly terrifying funk from beyond the grave. If you’re a fan of the genre, you’ll definitely want to check it out!
Google Music Store
Google has long offered a music store that sells and rents music, but the prices are high and the selection is limited. There are other options out there for music stores, but they’re either not as good or not as affordable. Google Music Store is a great option for both affordability and selection.

Keyword Research
You may have the greatest product, the coolest service, or the best blog in the world, but if you’re not using the right keywords, you’re not going to be found by your potential customers. Keyword research is an essential part of any online marketing strategy, and it should be the first step you take before you start creating any content for your website.
Identify your competitors
Before you can launch a new product or service, you need to understand who your competitors are and what they’re doing. This will help you make informed decisions about your own business strategy.
Competitor analysis is an essential part of any marketing strategy. By understanding your competitors, you can make better decisions about how to position your own products or services.
There are a few different ways to approach competitor analysis. One method is to use Google AdWords’ Keyword Planner tool. This tool allows you to see how much traffic certain keywords are getting. You can also use Google Trends to see how interest in a particular keyword has changed over time.
Another approach is to search for your competitors on social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. This can give you insights into what they’re doing well and where they could improve.
You can also visit their websites and look at their content, pricing, and any other information that might be relevant to your own business. By understanding your competition, you’ll be in a better position to succeed.
Conduct a keyword gap analysis
Conduct a keyword gap analysis to find out which keywords your competitors are targeting that you are not. A keyword gap analysis will also give you ideas for new products or services to offer that your competitors are not already targeting.
To conduct a keyword gap analysis:
1. Make a list of your top 3 competitors.
2. Go to Google AdWords and create a new campaign.
3. Select “Keyword Planner” from the “Tools” drop-down menu.
4. Click “Search for new keywords using a phrase, website, or category.”
5. Enter your competitor’s URL in the “Your product or service” field and click “Get Ideas.”
6. Select the “Keyword Ideas” tab at the top of the page.
7. Scroll down to the “Avg. monthly searches” column and sort the keywords by descending order of searches per month. Identify the top 10-20 keywords that your competitors are targeting that you are not currently targeting. These are potential new keywords for you to target with your AdWords campaign. 8 Conduct a similar analysis for each of your other 2 competitors to find additional potential keywords to target.
Find your main ‘money’ keywords
Your main keywords are the ones that you really want to rank for in Google – these are the ones that will bring valuable traffic to your site, and convert into customers or sales. To find your main keywords, you need to think about what your potential customers might be searching for when they’re looking for your products or services.
There are a few different ways to do this:
– Brainstorm a list of keywords yourself
– Use a keyword research tool like Google Keyword Planner or Moz Keyword Explorer
– Look at what your competitors are ranking for
Once you’ve got a list of potential keywords, the next step is to prioritize them by finding out how much search volume they have (i.e. how many people are searching for them each month) and how difficult they are to rank for. You can use a tool like Google Keyword Planner or Moz Keyword Explorer to do this, or you can do it manually by looking at the search results in Google.
The last step is to choose the main keyword that you want to focus on for each page on your website. Generally, you should only focus on one keyword per page, unless you’re doing something very specific like targeting long-tail keywords. Once you’ve chosen your keyword, make sure it appears in the following places:
– The title tag
– The meta description
– The H1 tag
– The body text ( ideally 2-3% of the total word count)
– The URL
Technical SEO
If you’ve been anywhere near a computer or the internet in the past few days, you’ve probably heard about the new Google Music Store. It’s a bold move by Google, and one that has a lot of people talking. The store is still in its infancy, but it’s growing fast.
Leverage “Inspect URL” feature in GSC
Using the “Inspect URL” feature in Google Search Console can help you identify and fix potential issues with your website before they become a problem. This feature allows you to see how Googlebot sees your pages, and can be a valuable tool for troubleshooting indexing issues.
Ensure your website is mobile-friendly
Google’s mobile-first index is now live for all websites, which means ensuring your site is mobile-friendly is more important than ever. Use Google’s Mobile-Friendly Test tool to see how your site measures up. Once you know what needs to be fixed, check out our guide to creating a mobile-friendly website.
Check your site’s loading speed
Slow sites are a nightmare for customers. Not only are they frustrating to use, but they can also lead to lost sales and revenue. If you want to ensure that your site is fast and responsive, you need to check your site’s loading speed.
There are a few different ways to do this, but one of the easiest is to use Google’s PageSpeed Insights tool. Just enter your URL and the tool will give you a detailed report on your page’s loading speed.
The report will also offer suggestions on how to improve your page’s speed. These suggestions can be anything from minifying your HTML and CSS to caching your pages or using a content delivery network (CDN).
On-page and Content
Google Music Store has a long-standing reputation for delivering high-quality, well-researched, and informative articles that are always up-to-date with the latest trends in the music industry. However, the site’s on-page and content strategy have been criticized by some as being too focused on click-bait and not enough on quality.
Duplicate title tags are when more than one page on your website has the same title tag. This is a wasted opportunity to help search engines understand your website better, and it can also hurt your search engine rankings.
-To fix this problem, you need to find all the pages on your website that have the same title tag, and then change the title tags so that they are unique.
-You can use a tool like Screaming Frog SEO Spider to find all the pages on your website that have the same title tag.
-Once you have found all the pages with duplicate title tags, you need to change the title tags so that they are unique.
-There are a few ways you can do this:
-Add additional information to the end of the title tag: For example, if you have a page about dogs, you could change the title tag to “Dogs – The ultimate pet”
-Make each page unique: If you have two pages about dogs, you could make one page about “Dogs – The ultimate pet” and the other page about “Dogs – The best pet for families”
-Use a different keyword or phrase for each page: If you have two pages about dogs, you could make one page about “Dogs” and the other page about “Canines”
If your title tags are missing or truncated, it means that search engines can’t properly index your webpages. This can hurt your search engine rankings and make it harder for people to find your website.
-To fix this problem, you need to make sure that all of your webpages have a title tag, and that each title tag is unique.
-You can use a tool like Screaming Frog SEO Spider to find all the pages on your website that are missing or have truncated title tags.
-Once you have found all the pages with missing or truncated title tags, you need to add or fix thetitle tags so that they are complete and unique.
Find and fix duplicate or missing meta descriptions
When someone does a search on Google, they see your title and meta description in the search results. A good title and meta description improve your click-through rate (how often people click on your result compared to other results), which can affect your rankings.
If your title or meta description is missing or inaccurate, you might want to:
– Use a tool like Screaming Frog SEO Spider to find pages with missing or duplicate titles and meta descriptions.
– Check whether your site uses the correct metatags by doing a site search for “site:yourdomain.com” in Google. For example, [site:wikihow.com how to make money]. If you don’t see the metatags you expect for a particular page, that page might not be using the correct template.
– If you have multiple versions of the same page (for example, www and non-www versions), make sure that each version has a unique title and meta description. You can use a tool like Webmaster Tools’HTML Improvements reportto find pages with duplicate titles or descriptions.
On-page and Content – (Terrifying Funk from Beyond the Grave: Google Music Store)
Heading: Find and fix multiple H1 tags
Expansion:
If you have more than one H1 tag on your page, it’s important to make sure that they all accurately reflect the content on the page. In some cases, multiple H1 tags can be used if they are specifically needed for SEO purposes, but in general, it’s best to keep it to one H1 per page.
Off-Page SEO
There’s a new kid on the block, and its name is Google Music Store. This new service allows you to upload your music collection to the cloud and play it back on any device with an internet connection. The store also offers a number of benefits for musicians, including off-page SEO.
Analyze your competitor’s link profile
If you want to know what kind of off-page SEO your competition is doing, the best place to start is by analyzing their link profile. A link profile is simply a list of all the links that are pointing to a given website. The more high quality links a website has, the higher it will rank in search engine results pages (SERPs).
To get started, you’ll need to use a tool like Moz’s Open Site Explorer or Ahrefs’ Site Explorer. Both of these tools allow you to enter a URL and see all the links that are pointing to it. Once you have your competitor’s link profile, you can start to analyze it.
Here are some things to look for:
-The quantity of links: A higher quantity of links is generally better than a lower quantity. However, there is such a thing as too many links, so don’t be alarmed if your competitor has fewer links than you do.
-The quality of links: The quality of a link is determined by factors like the PageRank of the linking page, the anchor text used, and the relevance of the linking site. In general,links from high quality websites that use relevant anchor text are going to be more valuable than low quality links.
-The velocity of links: The velocity of links is basically how fast new links are being added to a site. A sudden increase in velocity could be an indication that someone is artificially inflating their link profile (which could get them penalized by Google).
-The diversity of links: A diversified link profile is going to be more valuable than a non-diversified one. That’s because Google puts more emphasis on sites that have backlinks from a variety of different sources.
Analyzing your competitor’s link profile can give you some insights into what kind of off-page SEO they’re doing and how they’re able to rank so highly in SERPs.
Conduct a link intersect analysis
Link intersects are a powerful way to find new link building opportunities, and they can also be used to inform your content strategy.
A link intersect is simply a way of finding websites that link to multiple competitors, but not to you.
There are a few different ways to conduct a link intersect analysis:
1) Use a tool like BuzzSumo or Majestic to find the most popular pages on the web, and then see who is linking to those pages.
2) Use Google search operators to find websites that are linking to multiple competitors. For example, this search will show you websites that link to both HubSpot and Moz:
” HubSpot” + “Moz” -inurl:hubspot -inurl:moz
3) Use a tool like ahrefs or Open Site Explorer to find all of the links pointing to your competitor’s website, and then see which websites are linking to multiple competing sites.
4) Manually check the link profiles of your competitors using a tool like ahrefs or Majestic, and look for opportunities where you could get a similar link.
Target your competitors’ broken backlinks
If your competitor is ranking higher than you in Google, there’s a good chance it’s because they have more high authority backlinks. So a great way to improve your SEO is to target those same backlinks. Here’s how:
1) Use a tool like Majestic or Moz’s Open Site Explorer to find your competitor’s backlinks.
2) Check each link to see if it’s working (you can do this by visiting the link and seeing if it loads).
3) If the link is broken, reach out to the website owner and let them know. Be sure to include your website as an alternative source.
4) Rinse and repeat! This process can be quite time-consuming, but it will be worth it when you start seeing your SEO improve.
