Quick Content Fixes: How to Improve Your SEO Rankings With Just One Hour a Week
Think SEO takes ages? Nope. Not on our watch.
At TLH Marketing, we know most businesses don’t have the luxury of spending all day tweaking meta tags or dissecting keyword data (that’s our idea of a good time, yours, maybe not so much).
The good news?
You can make real, meaningful SEO improvements in the same time it takes to drink a coffee, complain about the British weather, or reheat yesterday’s leftovers.
Here are the quick content fixes that actually move the needle, all doable in one hour a week.
1. Give Old Content a Glow-Up (10 minutes)
Before you start panicking and planning a full website overhaul, stop. You already have SEO gold sitting on your site; it just needs a bit of freshening up.
Each week, pick one page or blog and:
- Add a sprinkle of updated copy
- Make sure the headings haven’t gone rogue
- Add a stat, example or new keyword
- Check the first paragraph actually mentions what the page is about (you’d be surprised…)
Google LOVES a refresh. Think of it as digital exfoliation.
2. Add Internal Links Like a Pro (10 minutes)
Internal links = SEO’s version of a treasure map. They show Google what’s important and keep users hopping around your site like they’ve fallen into a very niche rabbit hole.
This week, link:
- Old blogs → your juicy service pages
- Related blogs → each other
- Pages → things people will actually find useful
Anchor text tip: describing the link beats “read more” every time. (Unless you want Google to be confused.)
3. Tidy Up Your Meta Titles & Descriptions (10 minutes)
Meta data is tiny but mighty. Like chilli flakes. A quick tweak can seriously boost your click-through rate.
Keep them:
- Short
- Keyword-friendly
- Human-friendly
- And with a little nudge to click (“discover”, “explore”, “learn more”)
Treat these like shop window signs, make people want to come inside.
4. Fix Your Images So Your Website Stops Moving Like a 2008 Blackberry (10 minutes)
Big images = slow site = Google sulks.
Nobody wants that.
Spend a few minutes:
- Compressing images
- Adding sensible alt text (no, “IMG_4839” is not helping anyone)
- Renaming files with useful keywords
Faster sites get better rankings. And happier visitors. And fewer sighs from your marketing team.
5. Add FAQs to Answer the Questions People Actually Ask (10 minutes)
FAQs aren’t just nice-to-haves, they’re SEO magnets. Great for voice search, featured snippets, and people who skim everything.
Add 2–3 each week:
- “How often do I need a forklift service?”
- “What improves warehouse safety?”
- “Why is my website slower than my nan’s kettle?”
Short, snappy answers work best.
Why These Small Fixes Make a Big Difference
Because Google rewards websites that:
- Stay fresh
- Stay fast
- Stay tidy
- And stay helpful
And doing a little, consistently, beats doing nothing for months and then panicking (we’ve seen it, we’ve lived it).
