1. Search Engine Optimization Audit
The main point is to find the errors and SEO issues found in different tools like Google Search Console, Analytics, etc, that are dragging down the website in the search engine result pages.
Website Audit should contain all the On-Page Optimization elements and on it should be explained all the errors in a very clear way.
2. Removing Site Errors Action Strategy
After the SEO Audit is done and there have been written all the errors, then the roadmap should be written in a clear way how to fix errors.
So the strategy should focus on how to remove those errors that are making your website fail for the search engines.
3. Keyword Research
In the keyword research section of the roadmap, you should write the focus keyword (with its metrics) for each page that you plan to write or have written in the past.
Also, you should write and 2 to 3 related semantic keywords - LSI keywords.
There are various keyword research tools available online to do the work, some of them are free and some need to be paid.

The content that already exists on the website should be analyzed for optimization and content marketing guidelines.
The analysis should consist of keyword density, keyword mapping, page titles, ALT of images, meta descriptions, URLs, etc...
5. Content Marketing Strategy
After analyzing the content of your website there should be a clear plan on how to improve the content of your website.
Also, how to do the keyword mapping and what density of focus keywords and related keywords to use on the page, how many words should be written on the article, should you be using structured data markup on the page, etc...

You should also write a clear plan on how to expand the experience of using social media, how to get more followers, how to engage with them and how to be more active and clearly how to convert those followers into site visitors and consumers.
7. Local SEO Analysis and Improvement Plan
Check if the site is listed in Google My Business, if it is listed in Google Maps, and if it is rated and if there are bad ratings, write a strategy on how to improve the ratings.
In the local optimization analysis and the improvement plan, the same analysis and strategy should be taken for other business listings such as Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare, etc...
If the business address, city, and country, phone number are written on the website, if they are used in the post and page titles, as this increases the possibility to be found for the local searches and queries, and also increases the trustworthiness of the site and your business.

You should do a backlinks audit and write how many backlinks the website has, their quality, are they spammy, are they related to the content, are they from authoritative pages and domains, do they come organically, what kind of anchor texts are used in those backlinks, etc...
9. Link Building Prospects
After the backlinks audit, you should start looking for prospects of building links to your website homepage and deep pages, to increase the domain and page authority.
The prospects can be found using various tools, including free and premium ones, or you can find them manually by using the Google search form or other search engines.
Link building prospects should be found for different kinds of backlinks, like those from blog commenting, nofollow and dofollow, forum backlinks, guest posting backlinks, etc...
10. Traffic Website Audit
Use SEO tools available on the internet to find how many traffic the website has like Alexa and SimiliarWeb, or if you can use website statistics through a Google Analytics report, and find ways to increase that traffic through various channels, such as organic traffic, referral traffic, social media traffic, etc...
11. Checking Plugins and Recommendations
Check what kind of CMS (content management system) a website is using and if it using the best plugins available to optimize the website for search engines.
You may be facing various types of CMS based on specific SEO projects, but the most used is Wordpress.
In Wordpress sites, see if the website is using Yoast SEO Plugin, W3 Total Cache, Jetpack by Wordpress, etc...
Also, there are available plugins and modules for other CMS as well, even for the Blogspot platform we have made available this script that can be used as an extremely effective Blogger SEO Plugin.
