There’s content and then there’s SEO content, and on the internet at least, SEO content is king because it has keywords that correspond to the search terms used in Google search.
Here are our top tips on how you can improve your page rankings with SEO writing:
- Always follow SEO rules
The Google spider visits your page to see if you have used a specific keyword, and if those keywords appear in:
- Title tag – The clickable headline of your page
- URL – Your web address
- Image ALT text – The alternate text that would appear if your image doesn’t load
- Meta description tag – A brief summary of the content
- H1 tag – Tag used to define and rank your headings
- Write authoritative content
Google likes SEO content. Until a few years ago, keyword stuffing was all the rage. Thankfully, Google has since revised its rules and now rewards well-written content. Therefore, write well-researched articles on your subject. Write articles that are 2000 words long and covers everything that a Google searcher would want to know about a topic.
Use subtitles and section your content for easy readability so that readers linger on the page. Add surveys, stats and embeddable images that other bloggers can share and link back to your page.
- Use LSI keywords
LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords are words and phrases associated with a particular topic. These words show up in context to your topic and show that you’ve done your research and covered the topic well.
To get LSI keywords, search for your keyword on Google and scroll down to the bottom of the page where they’ve listed “Searches related to…”.
- Learn to link right
Hyperlink your content to other articles on your site as well as relevant external articles from other authoritative sites. This is especially important while citing studies and research outcomes.
Apart from these, ensure that your site has a speedy load time so that it delivers results faster on search. It also helps if your site has a responsive design so that your content appears on mobile searches too.
Remember that SEO content pays off in the long-term. Therefore focus on quality content that brings in and engages readers and establishes your authority over time. We hope these tips help you set up your page and get more traffic on your website.
