When it comes to search engine optimization (SEO), most small business owners aren't experts—and they shouldn't have to be. But that lack of knowledge often leads to costly mistakes that limit visibility, reduce traffic, and stall growth.

Here are the top 5 SEO mistakes small businesses make:

• No meta titles or descriptions – These are essential for getting clicks in Google. Most DIY websites leave them blank or meaningless.
• Slow site speed – Sites that load in more than 3 seconds lose over 50% of users. Bloated templates and cheap hosting don’t help.
• No structured data – Without schema markup, your listings miss out on rich previews like review stars or business info.
• Duplicate content issues – Reusing the same copy across pages can confuse Google and hurt rankings.
• Inconsistent listings – A business with different names, phone numbers, or descriptions across the web loses trust with both users and search engines.

YeahsTrade solves all of these automatically:
