  • Analyzing SERP Competitors: Key Metrics for SEO Success
    Quentin advises reviewing Google as a primary competitor, noting that "50-80% of searches result in zero clicks." He emphasizes assessing brand authority, focusing on relevance to the topic. Competing against on-topic, authoritative brands is challenging, but off-topic rivals present opportunities if you maintain focus and build authority in your niche.
  • 301 Redirects: Hidden Opportunities and Common Pitfalls
    Quentin highlights using 301 redirects for outdated promotional URLs, like /black-friday-2024, to evergreen pages. He recalls a successful site migration where redirects regained lost featured snippets in 48 hours. Quentin warns, "The most common mistake is using them unnecessarily," suggesting a 410 status for unrelated retired URLs.
  • Understanding Click-Through-Rate: A Key Metric for Digital Success
    Quentin highlights that CTR measures how often users click on your site from search results, indicating content relevance. He notes, "A 6% CTR can be excellent depending on ranking." Use Google Search Console to monitor CTR and optimize snippets with structured data. High CTR but low conversions suggest a mismatch between user expectations and landing page content.
