We hear a lot about SEO every day. How to improve it … the changing algorithms … the importance of mobile … much like the majority of the marketing and analytics world, things are always shifting. But the one thing about SEO that hasn’t changed is that strong SEO is necessary in a world where people are producing more content by the second.Where do you begin? Often times, the best place to start is with an audit. In summary, an audit can point out weaknesses in your current strategy (or lack of strategy) as well as provide guidelines for what your next steps should be.Even if you have done an SEO update in the past, an audit may still prove to be helpful. Start by going into your Google Analytics account (or whichever analytics platform you prefer to use) and determine where your traffic is coming from:
- If 5% or less of your site traffic is coming from organic search, you should get started on that audit & put together a strategy to help your business move forward.
- If between 5% and 75% of traffic comes from organic search, you can afford to be a little riskier in with what you try in your strategy.
- If 75% or more of your traffic comes from organic search, you’re in pretty good shape. You shouldn’t have to change much, but it never hurts to take a look at what competitors are doing, how they’re ranking and how you can boost your own rank for the same keywords even more.
Overall, an audit is going to give you a better look at things such as:
- Where your website can be optimized (Are there numerous broken links? Do you need to improve speed? Mobile access?)
- What people are searching for to get to your website
- How certain keywords are performing (and what your competitors are beating you at)
- Content topic ideas for future blog posts, white papers and more
Having this insight will greatly improve your marketing, communications and content strategies. To learn what an SEO audit entails, read the next blog in this series.[cta]
What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
