🗝️ Results From A Recent Update! (Part 2)

Hi there!
Last week I shared an over-the-shoulder view of what I look at before updating a post. You can watch that and all my previous emails HERE!
Today I am excited to share with you the results of my update after about 2 weeks!

Terrible. ZERO # 1 rankings. This recipe was one of the FIRST recipes I published on my website 6 years ago. I updated since then but did not change the focus of my keywords until last week.
I changed the Title from:
“Sweet Empanadas Wtih Cherry Cheesecake Filling”
to
“Crescent Roll Blueberry Cream Cheese Danish”
to
“Sweet Dessert Empanadas”
I also changed the photos and some headers & formatting. (I can share the before and after post with you if you’re interested!)
Now, this is what my rankings are looking like…less than 2 WEEKS later!

Look at all those #1 rankings compared to before! 😍

I am now in the top recipe snippets (#2 spot) for one of the keywords at 1.5k monthy searches. The second keyword below is showing me that I am in a top position in Google but ahrefs has not updating this data yet so that’s exciting too since those keywords total over 2.5k in monthly searches!
Note**I will KEEP an eye on this post to ensure it does not drop. If it does, it is NOT matching user intent and NOT what people are looking for and I will just have to try again.
So with all that said, there are a few key points here:
- Never give up on a keyword.
- Think outside the box and get creative with your titles.
- Using a tracking tool like ahrefs or semrush is what keeps me SO motivated when I’m feeling burned out.
- Tracking and Analyzing after the fact is equally if not more important than keysearch researching. *(I would have never thought to name it “Dessert Empanadas” if I didn’t see I was already ranking (super low) for this keyword.)
I talk about this in my Tracking and Analyzing Course. (Get it today!!) It’s so important to spend the time doing and it WILL pay off!
Next week, I will share more about what I did to the post itself and how I use Clariti to quickly check my progress on individual posts!!
