Keep your torso as still as possible throughout the movement with your back straight and constantly pressed against the wall.
Keep your head up and eyes facing forward.
To get the full benefit of the squat, drop your buttocks down as low as possible - at least until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
For extra intensity, pause for a few seconds at the bottom of the movement.

Set up for the bodyweight wall squat by positioning yourself with your back flat against a wall.
Walk your feet out a few steps while keeping your upper body flat against the wall.
Your legs should be straight with a slight bend in your knees and your feet should be just inside shoulder width apart. This is the starting position.
While bending at the knees and sliding your torso downward (still pressed against the wall) lower your buttocks towards the ground.
Squat down until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
Pause for a moment and press through your heels to push yourself back to the starting position.
Repeat this movement for desired reps.
