It guides you on choosing important details such as SEO title, Meta description, and Alt tags for images that will match your focus keyphrase.

Don’t forget to add Redirection. If a webpage doesn’t exist anymore and someone goes to that address, the user could receive a 404 or 4XX error.

Redirection can point old URLs to existing pages, creating a better user experience and better SEO scores.
