This handy [infographic from Leapfroggr](https://www.leapfroggr.com/seo-checklist/) provides a great visual reminder and checklist for your search engine optimization efforts. As they point out, SEO begins with research, including the same kinds of research you would use to inform your content marketing—finding out what your target market wants to know and what terms and phrases they use to find it. It should also include competitive research, similar to a [media audit](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/media-audits-a-12-point-checklist) to see where you stack up against the competition.   Follow up your research with detailed on-page SEO, focusing on keyword placement, website structure and performance, meta tags and [schema markups](https://www.jonespr.net/microdata-schema-rich-snippets-cheat-sheet), and optimized media. Of course, content matters. Not only the details of keywords in content, but the quality of content that provides readers with what they want so that user signals such as bounce rate, time on page and backlinks work in your favor. In other words: [write for readers, not search engines](https://www.jonespr.net/inboundaccelerator/write-for-readers-not-search-engines-to-boost-blog-seo). *(The #2 most-downloaded tool in our [Inbound Marketing Learning Library](https://www.jonespr.net/marketing-resources) is an [On-Page SEO Planning Template](https://www.jonespr.net/on-page-seo-planning-template).
