SEO Marketing Hub 2.0

I’m PUMPED to announce the release of the new SEO Marketing Hub 2.0.

We launched SEO Marketing Hub 1.0 last year.

Since then, we’ve made hundreds of edits, additions, improvements and updates.

This updated free resource library now covers over 41 key topics — including Schema, sitemaps, SEO software, content audits, link bait, SEO best practices, and lots more.

You can check out SEO Marketing Hub 2.0 right here:

All in all, our resource library contains over 57,000 words, 750 screenshots, as well as nearly 200 custom-designed diagrams, charts and visuals.

We also added an entirely new category: Keyword Research Strategies.

I’m really happy with how the new SEO Marketing Hub turned out.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

  9. This is very detailed and well structured – have you thought of providing some audio / videos to go along with your guides? I personally learn better through videos, but I know videos are not exactly the easiest (or cheapest) content to create.

    I really like using the SEO Hub v2, I will be defiantly be going through your Technical SEO to brush up on my skills 👍

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Hey Phil, I hear you on that. I have a few embedded videos in the resources. But it is mostly text.

  10. Wow, you went all out. Congrats! This is fantastic. Will go through and give you more feedback.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Hey Marcelo, I definitely did, LOL. The entire Backlinko team did in fact.

  11. Hi Brian,
    I follow your tips and site continually, but I noticed that you always highlights to use Yoast seo plugin. I am using Rank math seo plugin so, I should change it? Please reply

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Yash, I use Yoast but it’s more that I’m too lazy to change to another plugin 🙂

  12. Lokesh Avatar Lokeshsays:

  36. Great Stuff. Will love to see the Video version of these topics.

    Warm Regards
    Vinay Singh

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      👍👍👍

  37. Every time you post, I learn something new. #awesome

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Thanks Paul

  38. Great work Brian. I love how the page is formatted from a usability and navigational context.

    I noticed that you did a 301 redirect for all of your related past topical posts.

    Do you feel this is beneficial to do when creating a hub page like this?

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Thanks Donny. Glad to hear that. Good question there. I redirected a handful of posts that I thought would work better as hub entries. And I would recommend doing that if you decide to create your own hub.

      But I didn’t redirect all of our related posts. For example, we redirected an old post about long tail keywords to the hub. The keyword “long tail keywords” is more of a definition type of search. So it fit better here. Hope that makes sense.

  39. So comprehensive. Looks like you and your team is doing the hardwork and rest of the world is just reaping the benefits. Thank you

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      You’re welcome. Fortunately, I reap some of the benefits too (traffic and rankings). So it’s a win-win.

  40. The design is world-class Brian. There’s a ton of knowledge and useful resources in there, yet it feels lightweight and accessible. I’m curious how you’ll tie in your old posts into this hub page. All the best dude!

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Hey Marcio, thanks! I’ve actually already transferred a few old posts into the hub. But at 41 resources, I think the hub is getting pretty full. So I’ll probably stop doing that soon.

  41. Mosfiqur Rahman Avatar Mosfiqur Rahmansays:

    Hey Brian, it’s awesome idea! Thanks a lot.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      No problem 👍

  42. Thank you so much for this Brian. For my company I am adding SEO as a service and this will help for internal information and research.

    I appreciate the time and knowledge

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      You’re welcome, Steve. That’s great timing then. Hope it helps with the new service.

  43. The ‘content gap analysis’ is one of the best strategies I ever read at your blog. Most of the time bloggers spend their time on finding new keyword opportunities instead of optimising the existing blog posts.

    I often use analytic data to find out which content of my blog is under performing. It is very time consuming, but very rewardable. However, Semrash and Ahrefs is a very effective tool to save time, but it costs a lot to me.

    Thanks for sharing. Great stuff.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      Good stuff, Vishal.

  44. Soniya Khubchandani Avatar Soniya Khubchandanisays:

    Thanks Brian. I am an avid follower of your content. Going to read everything from 2.0. Thanks again. Congrats!

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      You’re welcome. I think you’ll enjoy the 2.0 version even more.

  45. Holy bible of SEO 🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thank you for the effort and resources.

    Love to dive deeper to see if i miss out any of SEO techniques.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      You’re welcome, Ethan. Hope you enjoy it.

  46. The ultimate SEO Marketing hub is here. Now this is my go to guide for all my SEO queries. Thank you so much Brian, God bless you man.

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

  47. This is amazing Brian, thank you for providing this resource. Your hub has been my one stop shop since it got recommended early this year. And now that I’m getting deeper into content marketing this will be quite useful.

  48. I didn’t know about Marketing Hub earlier, I guess it would be amazing. I’ll go after all topics. Thanks, Brain!

    1. Brian Dean Avatar Brian Deansays:

      👍
