Why Avoiding SEO Mistakes Matters

At HezalNova, we help businesses avoid common pitfalls that harm search rankings and conversions. Here’s what to watch out for.

🚫 The Top 10 SEO Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)

  1. 1. Ignoring Mobile Optimization
    Google uses mobile-first indexing. If your site isn’t responsive and fast on mobile, your rankings will suffer.
  2. 2. Not Optimizing Core Web Vitals
    Slow page speed, poor interactivity, and layout shifts can negatively affect UX and rankings.
  3. 3. Keyword Stuffing
    Repeating the same keyword unnaturally in content harms readability and SEO. Focus on natural language and semantic keywords.
  4. 4. Missing Title Tags & Meta Descriptions
    Pages without optimized titles or descriptions miss opportunities to rank and attract clicks.
  5. 5. Not Using Header Tags Properly (H1-H6)
    Skipping or misusing headers confuses search engines and users. Structure content clearly with one H1 and nested H2s/H3s.
  6. 6. Duplicate Content Across Pages
    Repeating the same text on multiple pages hurts your SEO. Use canonical tags or consolidate content.
  7. 7. Poor Internal Linking
    If your pages aren’t linked together logically, search engines can’t crawl or rank them effectively.
  8. 8. Skipping Image Optimization
    Large images slow down your site. Use compressed WebP files and descriptive alt text for accessibility and SEO.
  9. 9. No Structured Data (Schema Markup)
    Rich snippets help your content stand out in SERPs. Add schema for articles, products, FAQs, and reviews.
  10. 10. Not Monitoring SEO Performance
    Failing to track metrics like bounce rate, keyword rankings, and crawl errors leads to missed opportunities.
