in this video I'll show you how to use a
Google snippet preview tool to boost
your SEO welcome to all-in-one SEO we
make SEO easy with our powerful
WordPress SEO plugin let's get started
so what is a Google snippet preview or a
Google snippet preview tool well here's
a Google search engine result page for
men's basketball shoes and a Google
snippet preview tool will allow you to
see what your contents listing would
look like Within These result pages so
the first thing we're going to do is
install the all-in-one SEO plugin if you
already have AIO SEO installed you can
skip ahead to the next part of the video
using the time stamps below
so let's go ahead and click on plugins
and then click on the button that says
add new
if you haven't done so already we're
going to want to download the plugin
from aiossio.com I'm going to go to the
account section into your download area
and click the big green button that says
download AIO SEO
and if you don't have an account already
you should be able to create one pretty
easily
so back on the plugins page of your
WordPress website we're going to go
ahead and click the upload plugin button
and then click choose file and choose
the plugin file that you just downloaded
and then click the install now button
after the plugin installs click the blue
button that says activate plugin
after the plugin installs and is
activated the AIO SEO Setup Wizard will
pop up automatically we have another
video that walks you through these steps
and I highly encourage you to go through
that wizard because it will just set up
your whole website for success as far as
your SEO efforts go but for now we're
going to head back to the dashboard
and then if you scroll on down the page
and click the link there's a space for
us to enter our all-in-one SEO Pro
license key
back on our AIO SEO account which you
can find at aiosseo.com account make
sure you're on the downloads Tab and
then next to where it says license key
if you click on the icon it will copy
out our all-in-one SEO Pro license key
and then we're going to paste the
license key into the license key field
click connect
and that's it all in one SEO Pro is
activated on this website if you want to
be doubly sure you can go ahead and
click the blue save changes button
then we're going to scroll up and click
on the dashboard link just so we're all
on the same page
so now that you've got all-in-one SEO
installed from the WordPress dashboard
head on over to the post section you can
also head on over to the pages section
doesn't matter and we're just going to
pull up any one of our posts or Pages
I'm going to click on this first one
here called men's basketball shoes
and then if I look over on the right
hand side of the page here we can see
there's information about the post or
about a particular block if we had a
block selected what I'm going to do
instead is click on this all-in-one SEO
button
and then I'm going to click on General
the first thing we see is a snippet
preview so this is a serp snippet
preview this is approximating what our
listing will look like in Google the
first thing we have is the URL of my
site this is just a demo site and we
have the SEO title men's basketball
shoes black and blue separator demo say
Emoji checkmar you may remember how I
constructed this title from some of our
other videos and then we have the meta
description
you'll see the snippet preview right
here if you wanted to see a little bit
bigger version you scroll down below the
content of your page to the all-in-one
SEO settings section and you can also
see a snippet preview right here there's
also a third area where you can see a
serp snippet preview you stick around to
the end of the video I'll show you where
that area is as well so now that we know
what a serp snippet preview tool is
let's dive into how we can use this to
improve our SEO you'll see that we have
the snippet preview here and then the
post title and The Meta description and
if we're somewhere else on our page like
working on our content up here you
always have this snippet preview
available in the sidebar underneath the
all-in-one SEO section underneath
General so let's do that now let's go
ahead and click that edit snippet button
and this is the same information that
appears below your content it's just
easily accessible from this right hand
sidebar so here's our snippet preview
again we have mobile and desktop views
and then I can decide how I want to
construct that snippet preview and if
it's going to help or hurt the SEO on my
page so this page is about men's
basketball shoes my title says men's
basketball shoes black and blue this
little separator demo site and this
check mark emoji I don't think that demo
site is helping the SEO of a page about
basketball shoes maybe if the site was
called basketball shoes Warehouse I
would want to leave the site name in
there but in this case I don't want to
so in the post title section below where
we can construct our post title using
any of the smart tags available you can
even view all Tags by clicking the view
all tags link
in that section I am going to
simply delete or backspace and remove
the check mark Emoji I'm going to get
rid of the site title I'm going to get
rid of the separator
I'm going to put in a space and then I'm
going to see if there's a basketball
Emoji yes there is
so now I've changed my title to men's
basketball shoes black and blue with
this basketball Emoji this page was a
copy of a red and black basketball shoes
page so obviously you need to change
those pictures out to the black and blue
shoes below that we have where we can
construct our meta description I just
have this very generic meta description
in there so let's change that out to
something more relevant for this page
I've changed that to the best men's
basketball shoes you can find available
in sizes 7 to 13 in stock today
so by using this snippet preview tool I
have dramatically improved the SEO on
this page so I'm going to close out of
that window and then the only other
thing I want to change is the URL
because the URL for this page is simply
black and blue that does not tell Google
or people that this page is about
basketball shoes and in fact if I look
on the all-in-one SEO section on the
right under Focus keyphrase
I can confirm that the Focus key phrase
is not in the URL so let's scroll up in
that sidebar and I'm going to click on
this icon here to get the regular
WordPress post and block information and
here's my URL and where I can edit it so
I'm going to leave black and blue in
because that's relevant but I want to
change this to men's
to men's basketball shoes black and blue
so that's my URL now make sure when
you're done with any of these changes
that you click the blue button that says
update and that's it we've used the
Google snippet preview tool available in
all-in-one SEO to see what our snippet
would look like in Google and other
search engines and we've used that
information to dramatically improve the
SEO of this page now I told you guys
earlier in the video that there is a
third place where you can see this
snippet preview so if we click on the
preview link I'm going to preview
desktop in a new tab
and then hover over the SEO menu up top
and click on SEO preview
we see that same search snippet but kind
of isolated all by itself so you can
decide if this is really how you want
your content to appear in the search
result so that's how to use a Google
snippet preview tool to boost your SEO
if you don't already have our awesome
all-in-one SEO plug-in installed we've
got a link to it in the description
