Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your SEO journey, this tool is designed to elevate your website to new heights. Let’s get started!
Getting Started with OnPage Pro
To kick things off, access OnPage Pro directly from your Scalenut Dashboard. Once you’re redirected, enter your domain and hit ‘Get Started.’ Next, click on ‘Connect Domain.’ You’ll receive a code that needs to be added to your metadata. If you’re using WordPress, it’s simple: navigate to ‘Code Snippets’ in the left panel, select ‘Add Snippets,’ and then ‘Add Custom Snippet.’ Paste your code here and click ‘Save Snippet.’ Once that’s done, return to OnPage Pro and select ‘Check Connection.’ Congratulations! You’re now connected.
Dashboard Overview
Once connected, you’ll see your dashboard come to life. At the top, you’ll find vital data on pages crawled, content issues, and what’s been fixed. Below that, various optimization options await: meta title, meta description, external links, canonical tags, and image alt text. Let’s explore each of these components.
Optimizing Meta Titles
Starting with the meta title, this essential HTML element describes your webpage’s content succinctly and is crucial for SEO. OnPage Pro identifies four common issues: Missing Meta Title, Empty Meta Title, Outside Head, and Multiple Found. You can fix these issues by either making manual adjustments or using the AI Suggestions feature. After you’re satisfied with your meta title, click ‘Approve’ to implement the changes.
Crafting Effective Meta Descriptions
Next up is the meta description-a brief summary that appears in search engine results. OnPage Pro addresses four types of meta description issues: Missing, Empty, Outside Head, and Multiple Found. Just like with meta titles, you can either write these manually or use AI suggestions. Once you’re happy with your meta description, hit ‘Approve’ to finalize it.
Managing External Links
Now let’s turn to external links. These are hyperlinks that direct users to other websites. The primary issue you might encounter is links that do not open in a new tab. To fix this, select the checkbox next to the relevant link(s) and click ‘Approve.’ If you have multiple links, you can choose to update either one or both.
Addressing Canonical Tags
Moving on to canonical tags, which help specify the preferred version of a page and prevent duplicate content. OnPage Pro identifies issues like Missing, Empty, Outside Head, and Multiple Found canonical tags. You can resolve these issues manually, and once you’re satisfied, simply click ‘Approve.’
Enhancing Image Alt Text
Finally, let’s tackle image alt text. This important HTML attribute helps describe images for visually impaired users and improves SEO. The main issue you might face is missing alt text. Check the number of images without alt text for each URL and click on ‘Show Images’ to expand the list. You can manually type in the alt text or let AI generate it for you. If you want to create suggestions for all images at once, click ‘Generate All’ and then ‘Approve.’
Finalizing Changes
Once you’ve addressed all the issues, you have the option to approve all recommendations at once or revert changes using the ‘Unapprove All’ button. When you’re ready, click on ‘Review and Push Live’ to examine your final adjustments. You can make further edits or delete unwanted changes at this stage. When everything looks perfect, click ‘Push Changes Live.’ Your improvements are now deployed!
To review what you’ve fixed, click on the ‘View Past Fixes’ button. This feature allows you to see all modifications made and revert any changes if necessary.
