Hey everyone, I'm Neil Patel, and today I'm gonna share with you my favorite hack toincrease your website traffic that you're not using.

(upbeat music) Before we get started, makesure you subscribe or follow this channel, whateversocial channel you're on, if you wanna stay up-to-datewith the latest and greatest in marketing information, make sure you subscribe.

What is this hack? Do you really think it's that great? Is it? Can't be, Neil, right? Well, trust me.

I bet less than 1% of youare using this tactic.

You've heard of GoogleSearch Console, right? Well, of course you have.

I've talked about it, Google'stalked about it, everyone who's a marketer has talked about it.

But here's what I want you to do.

Trust me.

You're not doing this.

First, go into Google Search Console.

Second, look for all thekeywords that you're ranking for that are driving themajority of the traffic.

They should be ranked at the top within your Google Search Console.

It typically shows you themost popular keywords that you get the most clicksfor to the least popular ones at the bottom.

Now I want you to take thosekeywords and click on 'em.

Google Search Console will show you which page that keyword is pointing to.

This is really important.

Once you've done this, younow know the most popular keywords that are drivingtraffic to your website.

If you guys already know howto do this, and you've done this before, comment with a yes.

If you don't know how to dothis, please comment with a I've never done this before or a no.

The reason I'm asking you todo this is this will help me create future videos so I knowwhat to teach you on and what I know not to teach you on'cause I don't wanna regurgitate the same informationthat you already know.

But as I mentioned, you're not doing this.

And check this out, I'mnot talking about the Google Search Console part.

You now have the keywordsthat are driving traffic and what pages they're going to.

Take that keyword andput it into Ubersuggest.

Ubersuggest will show you allthe Google suggest versions of that keyword.

What I mean by Google suggestis, have you every done a Google search and you starttyping in things like marketing, and it starts recommendingother long tail phrases that are similar to marketingthat other people search for? These are other popular terms.

If you already know that you're ranking for terms like marketing, what Ubersuggest will do is it'll show you allthe long tail phrases.

See with Google, it's muchharder to rank for head terms than it is to rankfor long tail terms.

So take whatever terms thatyou're already ranking for that's driving the majorityof your traffic, print to Ubersuggest it'll show you allthe other similar long tail phrases that you should beusing within that web page.

Now I want you to go backto your web page and I want you to integrate those keywords in there.

It could be that you canjust add them in because your contents are alreadysimilar to those key words.

It may be that you have toupdate your content, add in paragraphs and paragraphs oftext which is fine as well.

You'll also find that someof those key words aren't relevant enough to yourcontent and that means that you may want to write a secondaryarticle or another article around that one long tail phrase.

Now that you've done this, I want you to also update your title tag and yourmeta description to include those most popular termsthat Ubersuggest showed you.

Now that you've done that, take that URL, go back into Google Search Console andsubmit it for re-indexing.

Once you submit it forre-indexing, what you'll find is it'll get re-crawled by Google again.

Within 30 days, you'll noticethat your page that was already ranking for a headterm, a popular term that was driving a lot of yourtraffic, will also now start ranking for long tailphrases and you'll be getting all this extra trafficthat you never had before.

That's my traffic hack.

It's simple, it's easy to dobut most people don't use it because it uses tools likeGoogle Search Console and Ubersuggest separatelyinstead of combining them.

When you combine them, you'll get much more traffic and best of all both ofthese tools are for free.
