#1- Analyze On-Page SEO With SEO Minion

Yes, you can analyze the on-page SEO of your and your client’s websites with this extension. It will help you to find all the weak points in your website and give you suggestions to improve them instantly.

We are analyzing the on-page SEO of our website https://longtailkeywords.net/ as an example using SEO Minion premium version.

In the above picture, you can see how SEO Minion analyzes our On-Page SEO and gives all the details with suggestions.

Importance of On-Page SEO in Ranking

On-page SEO plays a key role in the ranking of a website. Without proper On-Page optimization, it is impossible to rank a website at the top of Google and any other search engines. After keyword research On Page SEO is the main ranking factor.

There are many SEO tools available to perform On-Page SEO analysis, but SEO Minion is the best one among them. You can try it.

#2- Check Redirections with SEO Minion Extension

Just assume one of your money pages is redirected to any other page and you don’t have any idea about that.

This tool can help you to find all the redirections you made on your website. In just a single click you can find all the redirection of a website with the page where it is redirecting.

Cool right? 🙂

I found this feature very useful. Before I have to install SEO Minion, I must install Screaming Frog SEO Tool and then crawl my website, check all the redirections, and finally I need to export the file. Also crawling a website with Screaming From also makes the website slow until the crawling is complete.

It was taking enough time but now with the SEO Minion extension, it has become very easy and less time-consuming.

#3- Check Broken Links With SEO Minion SEO Extension

Broken links can make all your SEO efforts useless.

Yes, you read it right.

Check how broken links affect your SEO efforts in a negative way.

• Negative User Experience: Better user experience is key to getting the top ranking position in any search engine. If you have an idea about how a search engine ranks websites you may know that better user experience is always at the top of this list. If you have broken links on your website you have to find and fix them ASAP. SEO Minion can help you find all the broken links on your website.
• Reduced Crawl Efficiency: Crawling a website by the Search Engine BOTS is the first step towards ranking. To index a link into the database of the search engine, crawling is important. All search engines have a lot of crawl budget for websites which decides how many times in a day a bot will crawl and collect all the links from a website. Understanding, saving, and utilizing the crawl budget is very important. Broken links can hurt the crawl efficiency of any website. Find and fix them ASAP.
• Decreased Page Authority: There are two terms used widely in SEO. DA Domain Authority & PA Page Authority. A better and high DA and PA means more chances of high ranking in search engines, and a low DA & PA means lower rankings. Having a lot of broken links in a website can reduce the DA and PA of your website which ends up with losing rankings.
• Lower Search Rankings: Broken links can cause lower search rankings directly. Just suppose that you have a website with multiple broken links. Google bots visit the website to crawl and index the links. Bots go from one link to another link. When the bot will not find a link working properly it cannot index that specific link. And finding a lot of such links on a website will make the crawler blacklist your domains. And you will lose all the rankings. The solution is again to install and run a broken link-finding audit with SEO Minion Google Chrome Extension.

#4- SERP Preview Tool with SEO Minion

If you are still reading this post, I assume that you are already in SEO and you know about all the technical terms including SERP.

In SEO SERP stands for Search Engine Results Page.

Basically, SERP refers to the page of a search engine that is shown to the user when they put a query to search on.

Being an SEO, we need to check the SERP many times a day. We must keep our eyes on the ranking keywords.

To check the SERP every time we have to perform a search in another tab. SEO Minion can make this easier for you and you can check the SERP by staying on the same page. All you have to do is click on the extension icon and click on the SERP preview.

#5- Simulate Multi-Location SERP

Let’s suppose I’m living in Canada, and I want to rank my website in the US.

So, when I must check the ranking of my keywords, I need to use a VPN to set my location to the USA. Because we know that Google shows search results based on locations. SEO Minion has a solution for you to simulate multiple locations SERP.

#6- Hreflang Checker With SEO Minion

The rel=”alternate” hreflang=” language code goes here” or Hreflang is an HTML attribute introduced by Google that makes Google and other search engines to understand a webpage and its targeted location based on the languages used on the website.

There are big websites that target different locations. They can not create a separate page for each location to avoid duplication issues. So the easiest and recommended method by Search Engines is to use the hreflang tag. Once you put this tag search engines understand it.

Hreflang Examples

For Spanish: <link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com" hreflang="es-es" />
For French: <link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/fr/" hreflang="fr-fr" />
For English: <link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/pt/" hreflang="en-en" />
For Arabic: <link rel="alternate" href="http://example.com/pt/" hreflang="ar-ar" />

You can check Hreflang with SEO Minion Extension. It will give you all the necessary details about HREFLANG TAG in just a single click.

#7- Check HTML v/s DOM with SEO Minion

JavaScript has always been a challenge for SEOs. Also, search engines like Google also found problems in crawling and indexing JavaScript-based web applications.

We can easily check the HTML Hyper Text Markup Language of a web page, but we cannot check the JS unless and until we have admin/administrator access to a website.

SEO Minion is the best tool to check the rendered DOM to find if there is any JavaScript error that you can trace.
