How do you check your updated content before publishing?

I like to get a friend and/or Google to read it for me. Have Google Translate *in the browser* read it aloud, and listen to it in my language. If you click the audio button and it's reading slowly, hit it again, and it speeds up from the beginning. If you can't have it all red in one go, it's usually a sign you should split it into sections, or I'm not sure you have it broken down into separate paragraphs properly so you can choose a couple at a time. I use the help of AI (ChatGPT) to rate my content out of 100. It provides reasoning that is broken down into five categories. I may tweak any coherence or flow issues. You should ask A.I. to have the accuracy and relevance scored within a specific industry or topic. I hope this helps.

As a content creator, optimizing updated content for SEO was a game-changer. When we revamped a guide, I focused on integrating targeted keywords that resonated with our audience's search intent. By employing tools like Yoast SEO, Google Keyword Planner and SEMrush, I ensured our meta tags were optimized and the content structure was well-formatted. An additional layer of importance was given to mobile-friendliness and page loading speed, ensuring seamless user experience across devices. This comprehensive approach, driven by a mix of research and utilizing SEO plugins and software, contributed significantly to improved search visibility and higher engagement rates for the updated content.

Broken links are annoying, certainly. But links to spammy sites can cause damage to your own credibility. I have no problem linking to a competing site if the material I'm linking to is of value to the reader.

Making sure your content looks great before publishing is a crucial step in engaging your audience. First, try a browser preview. Open your content in different web browsers to ensure compatibility. You never know, some elements might appear differently in different browsers! Next, check how your content appears on mobile devices. This is especially important given the rise of mobile browsing. Some CMS platforms and website builders have specific mobile preview modes, so make sure to take advantage of those. Make adjustments as needed based on your previews, and always ensure that your content not only looks great but is also user-friendly and accurate.

Updating content is important because it's intent is to enhance the reader's experience and to be helpful. I like to check my updated content against People Also Ask (PAA) Google SERP feature to see if there are areas in my content that need further development.
