So you've done the work and read Moz's famous Beginner's Guide to SEO.

But now, how do you actually rank a webpage in Google?

In truth, there are thousands of articles, guides, and tutorials published about SEO every year. Most of these guides are either very introductory or broad, or go to the opposite end of the spectrum and cover a very specific topic.

Virtually none show you how to rank a webpage, start-to-finish.

What's needed is a guide or blueprint.

To be helpful, we need a step-by-step checklist for ranking a page starting from an idea, all the way to traffic pouring into your Google Analytics account.

This is that checklist.

It’s meant as a framework for newer SEOs to build their own work on top of. This basic process has helped, in one form or another, 1000s of pages and upwards to millions of keywords to gain higher rankings.

Think of it as an intermediate SEO instruction manual, for beginners.
