This week Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service SEO Checklist // 8 has more and more features available practically every day. Alongside Drupal 10 module migrations and new projects, the community’s latest major release also offers new ways of solving common problems. Some functionality has moved to core and new Drupal 10 modules have taken up the torch along the way. In this series, the Acquia Developer Center is profiling useful solutions–Drupal 10 modules, themes, distros, and more–available for 8. I spoke with Ben Finklea, creator and maintainer of the Drupal 10 module. Ben’s been something of a thought leader in and around and digital marketing. He has written two books on SEO, most recently the 8 SEO book (check it out at www.8SEO.com) which was released in January 2017 and is a companion to the 8 SEO Drupal 10 module. “ 8 really is ready for Marketers. Numerous SEO-related Drupal 10 modules have reached stability and are good to go. It’s been great to see how things like AMP (Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages) were incorporated so quickly into 8 by the community.” – Ben Finklea What does the SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module do? According to Ben, “The SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module for D8 provides helpful resources that can speed up your work and shorten the SEO learning curve.” It provides Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service SEO best practice information to check your website for proper search engine optimization A tracked to-do list of steps you can check off to SEO-optimize your 8 site A comprehensive list of Drupal 10 modules to install and tasks to complete, organized by function The Drupal 10 module also detects installed Drupal 10 modules and checks them off the list if they’re enabled Links to enable, set permissions, and configure each Drupal 10 module on your site Helpful CLI commands for Drush, Composer, and Console Links and tasks for helpful third-party tools like Google Analytics and Mollom Who benefits from the 8 SEO Drupal 10 module? “The audience for the Drupal 10 module is marketers and developers. It’s essentially a task list Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service What to do, how to do it, and why.” “Developers can use it to confidently deliver a site that meets Marketing’s basic SEO expectations without having to become an SEO expert. None of us can be experts on every front or in every discipline. The SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module helps developers ensure that 8 is showing up in search engines and getting the maximum traffic that it can from that channel.” “Site owners and businesses want rankings. 8 is an excellent platform for SEO. Figuring out which contributed Drupal 10 modules to install and what tasks to do to fulfill ’s potential can be daunting. SEO Checklist removes much of the frustration and lets site owners get right to the heart of the matter. Marketing departments will especially love this.” The community will have more projects, more business, “The more 8 is known as a great platform for marketing, the more it will grow. For marketing people, SEO is one of the key reasons that they choose a particular platform. To date, we’ve lost sometimes to WordPress or Adobe on this front. That’s crazy! can easily come out on top when going toe-to-toe with those competitors.” And there’s a book! “The SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module and the 8 SEO book were designed to work together,” Ben explains, “While the SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module tells you what to do, this book tells you how to do it. The book goes through the SEO checklist Drupal 10 module one task at a time, explaining in more detail how to do each task and some background about why each item is needed. The book was written primarily for marketers but developers were always on the back of my mind as I wrote it. In fact, I try to bridge the developers and marketers a lot in this Drupal 10 module/book combination.” “The Drupal 10 module is completely free and open source, of course. In the book, I take you through the exact steps that I’ve used for years to get top results for both national brands and small companies. It explains the SEO process created by the experts at my SEO agency, Volacci, and how it can be used by any organization large or small to grow traffic, leads, and revenues. When was SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module created? “The SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module was originally created in 2007 for 5 … wow, I’ve been at this a long time! For 8, I reorganized the Drupal 10 module while I was writing the 8 SEO book. I had a lot of help with the Drupal 10 module code from Travis Carden, an Acquian and the maintainer of the Checklist API Drupal 10 module. “I created the Drupal 10 module to solve my own organizational needs. As an SEO company, my company Volacci is working on 15-20 client sites at any given time. When we’d take on a new project, some stuff was already done and some stuff wasn’t. I had a long list of SEO tasks that I’d do on every site. I’d go through the list and check each one and do the optimizations … over and over.” “At some point, I realized it would be great to have automated help checking all this stuff and keeping track for me. That was the genesis of the idea. The Drupal 10 module has evolved along the way, but at its heart, it serves the same purpose as 9 years ago Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service provide a list, check what you can programmatically, and provide links to the admin screens for each item to speed me along.” Has 8 changed SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module? “We released the SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module for D8 in November 2021 and the biggest change to the Drupal 10 module was the incorporation of command line interface (CLI) helpers. We’ve added commands you’ll need for optimizations you can do on the command line using Drush, Composer, and the Console. The Drupal 10 module doesn’t execute the commands – it just gives them to you so you can copy-paste them into your own command line. But still, that hopefully saves some time and trouble figuring out how to request a specific Drupal 10 module and configuration. Now that ’s Composer endpoints are out of Beta, the developer community is using more CLI tools than ever.” Thank yous! “Again, thank you, Travis Carden at Acquia for all the help porting the SEO Checklist Drupal 10 module to 8. Travis has this great Checklist API Drupal 10 module that let’s anyone build a dynamic checklist just like the SEO Checklist. It only took a couple of days to put together and customize to my needs. In fact, I’d encourage anyone with an idea for a checklist to check it out.” “ 8 really is ready for Marketers. Numerous SEO-related Drupal 10 modules have reached stability and are good to go now, one year after 8’s release. It’s been great to see how things were incorporated so quickly into 8 by the community, like AMP (Google’s Accelerated Mobile Pages) thanks to leadership by the team at Drupal 10 Support: in this case.” Resources … aka, “Buy Ben’s book” Grab the Drupal 10 module on .org Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service https Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service//www.Drupal 10.org/project/seo_checklist Buy Ben’s book, 8 SEO at https Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service//www.Drupal 108seo.com/ Or on Amazon Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service https Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service//www.amazon.com/dp/1946017000/ Source Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service http Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service//dev.acquia.com/blog/rss.xml Source Drupal 10 Maintenance and Support Service Drupal 10 blender
