Make your robots.txt and XML sitemap work to your benefit and not against you by ensuring that they contain no errors. Site Architecture Site Architecture/Structure Efficient organization of the content on your site is a recipe for happy users and crawlers. You need to create SEO-friendly URLs, considering all the nuances, and attentively use a site checker to audit all of your website’s internal and external linking for various mistakes and incorrect redirects. On-page On-page Content is The King Content was crowned by the SEO community a long time ago and it continues to rule to this day. And being a blue-blooded element, it demands special care for itself and its courtiers – meta tags. You have to attend to bothersome duplicates, suboptimal titles, headers, and descriptions that suck the SEO energy out of your pages. Technical SEO Technical SEO “This page takes so long to load, but I will gladly wait,” said no one ever.

Or - Why user love their service or articles, etc... Weakness Weakness What do your competitors’ customers regularly complain about? What problems have you experienced when you “shopped” with them? What products or services should they offer but don’t?
