Why Semalt's Dedicated SEO Dashboard Is Perfect For Even Small Businesses 



With each advancement the human species achieves, the business world finds a way to best position itself to take advantage of the new technology. So when the world was introduced to the internet and its ability to quickly deliver information, leading businesses around the world quietly equipped their arsenals with tech-savvy professionals. 

This leaves Small businesses vulnerable and simply incapable of competing with these businesses. Since you cannot afford the same budget as these big companies, you might not have the same financial prowess to bring someone in as fast.

As an alternative, you purchase a subscription to an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) tool like Ahrefs or Ubersuggest, but this option is still pricy, and you will need a certain level of knowledge to capitalize on their information.

So how can a budget-conscious small business owner compete with the big-budget businesses of the world while learning how to leverage an SEO tool in the process? By using Semalt's Dedicated SEO Dashboard! 

This service provides you with the same quality of information that Ahref and Ubersuggest have while only costing you $10 per Domain! And this article will give you a basic run-through on how to use the Dedicated SEO Dashboard.

Do you understand SEO?

You may be asking yourself: "What is an SEO? All you've so far is that it means Search Engine Optimization". And that is a great question! Search Engine Optimization is actively improving the quality and quantity of user traffic to your website by leveraging the content quality on your website. 

Each search engine sends out millions of crawlers to collect information that they find through their perusal. When they read your website, you want them to get in and out as fast as they can. The faster they can get through your content, the higher you can possibly score on their engine. 

As they search through your website quickly, they look through your content, as well as other elements on your website. It is important that you understand that these crawlers will look at EVERYTHING featured on your site. That includes the website that led them to your page, the website they go to after they leave your page, the keyword density on your page, basic grammar, and content, the design typography used to create the page... This list can go on forever!

The information collected by the crawlers goes to a central hub so it can be judged and compared to all of the other content the crawlers have collected that matches your keywords. The central hub will then give your page a SERP score, which means "Search Engine Results Page". This score will determine where in that keyword search result you will appear. The best scores will show up on the first page, and the rest will follow suit. 

As an article grows in age, that too will filter down and decrease in SERP score. But for now, you want to focus on creating content that scores high so you can appear on the first page of a keywords search result - that is the definition of SEO success.

Things to know before using Dedicated SEO Dashboard

With all of the information currently available online, this does sound like a daunting task - how can you position yourself to look like the best of the best in a field filled with millions of contributors? By using the right tools! 

You have the expertise in your field, and the Semalt Dedicated SEO Dashboard is the tool you can use to leverage your way to a solid SERP score. And unlike other tools like Ahrefs or Ubersuggest, the Dedicated SEO Dashboard will walk you through anything you need to learn.



As you can see in the screenshot above, there are several links that will break down whatever you are looking at. You will also see colored dots next to each item; this is one of the two methods the Dedicated SEO Dashboard uses to help you improve your website. Each dot will be one of three colors - green means that you are good to go in that area, orange means you can use some improvement, and red means you should look at this right away.



The second method used is a circular percentage graph, which is pictured above. The percentage is ranged from 100-0. 100-90 means that your website looks amazing; 89-50 means your website is solid but can use some improvements; and 50-0 means you have a lot of work to do.

And just in case you do get stuck, you can quickly ask for one of Semalt's SEO professionals by pressing the bubble icon in the upper right-hand corner. This upper right-hand corner also displays two tools that will help make your experience on the Dedicated SEO Dashboard a seamless operation - the language converter and the sign-in button.

The language button will convert the Dedicated SEO Dashboard into one of eleven available languages in the platform, making this tool accessible to people all over the world. The sign-in button gives you three options to create and access your account - Sign in with Google, Sign in with Facebook or Create an Account. 

If you use Google or Facebook, the Dedicated SEO Dashboard will automatically take the pertinent information from that account and fill it in for you. If you are not comfortable with Semalt filling in your personal information, you can sign up for an account and do it yourself. Both of these buttons are standards across multiple online applications, which is why Semalt implemented them into the Dedicated SEO Dashboard - to give you a sense of familiarity.



And lastly, to help a business owner that has no prior knowledge of SEO, every page will have a blue bar that says "View the Page Guide" with three options:
  • No, Thanks: this will take the option away from you while.
  • Later: will let you know that you can access this information by pressing the Lightbulb icon that appears after you press the "Later" button.
  • Open Guide: button will walk you through all of the information the page has to present to you.
Make sure you are paying attention, though, because this option will only be available to you once. We recommend that you take out your note and start jotting down some tips as you learn. Luckily, these guides are self-administered; you press the next button when you are ready to move to the next item on the page.

And now, let me officially present Semalt's Dedicated SEO Dashboard! There are eight options for you to sift through.

Website List

This is so you can quickly jump from one project to another without having to change metrics. This way, you can alternate between your business and a competitor. You can also view your competition on this tool? Because you can! This will help you stay one step ahead of anyone you are competing with.

Add Website Button

This is just as self-explanatory as the Website List - this is where you populate the Website List. You can put one domain in at a time, put in multiple domains at once, or upload a domain list from your computer. You can even splice keywords with the domains to help narrow down your searches.

The Dashboard

This gives you a quick overview of all of the domains you implemented into the Dedicated SEO Dashboard. This overview will help direct you to any areas that are concerning.



To give you an example, we created a sample Dashboard with two competing video platforms - YouTube and TikTok. With this sample, it is clear that YouTube is dominating TikTok. So if you want to compete with these platforms, you can take several lessons here - YouTube will show you the right way to use your keywords while TicTok can illustrate what not to do with your keywords.

No matter which direction you go, each item is a link that will give you a deeper dive into those analytics.

SERP

SERP will drop down into three different options:
  • Keywords in TOPS
  • Best Pages
  • Competitors
Each option is meant to show you how that specific item (for example, Keywords in the Keywords in the TOPS option) is performing for your business. If you use this information correctly, you will have a steady stream of viable customers.

Webpage Analyzer

Using the grading system above, this option will show you how well your website is performing and break that grade into five categories:
  • All Audits
  • Successful Audits
  • Errors
  • Warnings
  • Basic Info 
You can either look at what is working (Successful Audits) or what needs working on (Errors and Warnings). You can even look at what everyone else can see (Basic Info).

Content

This breaks down into two options - Page Uniqueness and Website Uniqueness. Both options are looking at how unique your content is and how effective your keyword usage is. The major difference is Page Uniqueness focuses on one specific page, and Website Uniqueness looks at your "Keywords in TOPS" percentage across the whole site.

Page Speed

This section goes over how long it takes for your website to download on different devices. All errors can be found under "Errors to Fix".

Report Center

There are five different sections that have a specific function.
  • Create Report: gives you a report based on an implemented parameter.
  • Create Delivery Schedule: automate the action created in "Create Report".
  • Report Delivery Schedule: email reports to people.
  • White Label Template: personalize your reports.
  • Delivery Template: personalize your emailed reports.

Conclusion

Semalt's Dedicated SEO Dashboard has everything a small business owner needs to compete with the bigger companies - an effective SEO tool that will teach you how to read the reports with quick access to professional help that is cost-efficient. For the price of $10 per domain name, you can quickly increase the results of your SERP scores so you can get more exposure to the customers that will enjoy your content and products.
