Broken links and errors occur periodically—it’s part of having a website. You’ll want to check your site for issues each month. Ensure your site is working properly and there aren’t any errors (broken links, image issues, toxic links, page speed, etc.). Then look at your rankings and evaluate keywords. You’ll also want to look at traffic and conversions to determine if you need to tweak anything. Remember to track what you’re changing as well so you know where to make adjustments later. If you’ve added new content in the last month, you’ll want to make sure that it’s optimized with your target keywords (tags, links, images).
