Content and SEO

Nearly 97% of content gets no organic search traffic from Google. Make your online content work harder for you by continuously optimizing it for search engines (SEO).

 

How do you optimize your content for SEO? Here are some of the basics that you should keep in mind:

  • Determine your audience to pinpoint the best content format 
  • Pick relevant words (short-tail keywords) and phrases (long-tail keywords) that are relevant to your audience
  • Put keywords in your page title, URL, meta description, headings and page content text
  • Add internal and external links to authoritative sites in your industry
  • Monitor and regularly update your content with fresh information and relevant keywords.
 

The last point is particularly important. Updating old and underperforming content often takes less work, boosts keyword rankings faster and increases impressions/clicks compared to building new content. 

We can review your existing or “stale” content and help you update and optimize it so it captures more essential keywords and engages your readers. 

Are you ready to boost your content marketing strategy with SEO?
