While nobody is saying you need to sit down and create a \u201cbrain map\u201d of your various ideas, content that supports good SEO is the opposite of an impressionist painting. Instead of being random and sudden, it is methodical and categorical. Because of this, brainstorming content is a powerful way to ensure that you\u2019re including all of your main points and topics, and that you can use the content to input links, keywords, and other important SEO elements.<\/p>\n
To this end, think about all of your content, with these questions, before you write it:<\/p>\n
Great blog posts rely on great structure, and good SEO does, too. With this in mind, consider mapping or outlining your blog posts before you write them. In addition to giving you a structure to abide by, this simple task will also help you lay out your introduction, body, and conclusion, and ensure that your content is\u00a0easy to read, which, in turn, makes it more reader- and search engine-friendly.<\/p>\n
Long-tail keywords are your best friends in terms of optimizing for keywords that won\u2019t break the bank (take too long or too much $).<\/p>\n
A large brick of text is intimidating to readers, and it will push people away. With this in mind, be sure to divide all of your content into readable chunks of text, with a beginning, middle, and end.<\/p>\n
As a general rule, paragraphs should be only 3-4 sentences in length, and you should do your best to insert subheaders at intervals of every 300 or so words. This makes your content easier for readers to approach and helps keep it from feeling intimidating on the page. It also has the potential to improve your\u00a0click-through rate, which can boost your overall SEO scores.<\/p>\n
Beyond just using headings, you need to know how to make them descriptive and useful. Headlines are meant to guide readers through your blog post, and\u00a0headlines that are highly descriptive\u00a0and include target keywords will do the best job of this. They\u2019ll also work as a sort of advertisement on Google\u2019s search engine results page and, if they\u2019re written well enough, will draw more people to your content.<\/p>\n
Transition words are important to your writing, and they can go a long way toward making it smoother and easier to understand for readers. While this sounds simple, it\u2019s important to remember that good content is the foundation of good SEO, and content your customers can\u2019t read doesn\u2019t stand a snowball\u2019s chance of ranking well.<\/p>\n
With this in mind, don\u2019t hesitate to use transition words and phrases like \u201cHowever,\u201d \u201cSecondly,\u201d etc. These help your readers keep pace and will work wonders to streamline your writing.<\/p>\n
While you may be an effective writer and editor, having other people read your posts will cut down on errors and improve your writing. With this in mind, hire an editor or another writer to help you look over your post before you publish them, and don\u2019t ever make a habit out of publishing something you\u2019ve not adequately proofread, since this is a recipe for mistakes and sloppiness, both of which can damage your rankings.<\/p>\n
According to\u00a0Yoast, every article you post should have at least 300 words. The reason for that is that content shorter than that doesn\u2019t provide enough of what Google, in its\u00a0updated Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines, calls \u201cmain content.\u201d<\/p>\n
While it\u2019s true that longer articles tend\u00a0to perform better\u00a0in the world of SEO, the main priority you have as a writer is simply to ensure that your articles provide enough main content to be useful to search engines and people.<\/p>\n
