I wrote down this note from a webpage – can’t remember which webpage though… gathering monthly data of who is ranking on the following SERPs: Ask Local & Main, Google Local, Main & Webmaster Tools, Bing Maps, Local & Search Webmaster Central, and Yahoo Local, Main & Site Explorer. [This makes me think to ask - why is Bing Maps included but not Google Maps or Yahoo Maps.]
The best way to organize data is of course a spreadsheet and then keep adding to it monthly or at least quarterly.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) – What Can You Start With Today?

- Analyze the SERPs (Search Engine Results Pages) for your keywords. Who is ranking (aka competitor)? What do you see that they are doing effectively/ineffectively? Learn more about your competition. I tell clients – tell me your top 3 competitors.
- Create a list of your competition – again focus on at least the top 3 competitors.
- Resources that can help you:
- Yahoo Site Explorer
- Google Analytics
- Google Webmaster Tools
- Bing Webmaster Center
- Check Google, Bing and Yahoo to make sure the site you want ranked in the search engines is being indexed. The tool I use to help get a client’s website indexed – is by submitting their sitemap through the Webmaster Tools and WordPress.org Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps
