Have not performed any SEO on the website yet. Today I will try and at least enter some onto the pages and possibly a few hyperlinks around the site. Maybe add a Footer to the site with links.

I did just submit the whole site to Google Search Console. The pages I submitted were:

https://www.expeditionseo.ca
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/the-expedition
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/my-journal
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/blog-post-day-1
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/blog-post-day-2
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/blog-post-day-3
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/my-backpack
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/the-lessons
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/our-campfire
https://www.expeditionseo.ca/the-climber

I don't expect the GSC Index to do much. No SEO, No internal linking yet.
Will try and work on that later today. Here is the Google Search Console report for today.

Still at Base Camp as expected.

For some reason I exceeded my quota of submissions on Google Search Console. Wonder how many I get?

Expedition Day 4 - Reindexed Pages as Names Have Changed

I noticed that Hostinger does not have a section to add Structured Data Markups. Chat seems to think we have to inject custom code into the website which is a pain. I'll have to figure that out. It's going on my To Do list.

Entered SEO information for all my main pages. I am only showing the details for my The Expedition page as there are quite a few of them. This will give you an idea how to enter SEO (into Hostinger anyway). I've used WIX before and it's very similar.

it doesn't seem Hostinger has the ability to enter SEO information for BLOG pages so I just did very descriptive information on them

I think my SEO index requests I did earlier should capture the SEO details I entered as it takes Google time to crawl the website.

I think.

Anyway, here is an example of SEO details for the The Expedition page:

"The mountain doesn't care how experienced you are. It only rewards those who keep climbing."
