Tips for SEO-friendly-content

For Google : “Content is king.”

Why?

Google’s job is to "Answer Questions" & "Deliver the most reliable information available"

So, if you want to rank, you better make sure you create great content.

Here's the key in SEO = Great Content.

How To Produce Great Content:

There are elements of your content you should focus on when optimizing:

1?? High Quality Content.

There’s so much competition, and the standard of content is so much higher that writing a great article or guide isn’t necessarily enough to be rewarded by Google.

It’s why one of my favorite strategies when creating content is to piggyback off of what others have created, add more value, and make your piece of content more in-depth.

It’s not just enough to write more words; you need to cover topics in more detail, too.

Don't forget LINKS. Of course, the great thing about writing high-quality, comprehensive content is that it should attract more links, too.

2?? Intent

Google puts a lot of emphasis on intent. It aims to understand what the searcher is looking for and deliver exactly what they want.

You need to know what the reader wants to accomplish when they land on your page.

As a content creator, you must ensure your content matches the search intent that Google has assigned to your target keyword. That means you probably won’t be able to rank a blog post when the search results are full of e-commerce product pages and vice-versa.

3?? Freshness

The more your content is up-to-date, the better.

Going through and updating your content for accuracy, fixing any broken links, and refreshing old data with new statistics that are more relevant are all ways to show Google your piece of content still deserves a spot on page one.

4?? Actionable

There’s nothing worse than reading a piece of content and not getting everything you need to accomplish something.

5?? Keywords

Before you start writing, you need to determine your primary keyword.

The primary keyword is the main term (or phrase) you want to optimize your content around. To improve the chance that your content shows up when someone searches for that term or phrase in Google.?

You can use tools like: Semrush’s or Ahrefs
