10 Best SEO Content Writing Techniques for Higher Rankings
In the current age, anyone can become an SEO content writer with AI tools, but to make your content prominent online despite this isn’t difficult. Yes, it isn’t. The reason is the value of an original SEO content writer is higher than ever, and whoever works hard to write their content and make it search engine optimized can get higher rankings on search engines reliably.
There are some best SEO content writing techniques when applied could make your content prominent in the world of search engines. These techniques are:
Research about your audience:
You should be clear about whom you’re writing for. Yes, you should have a clear idea about what their gender is, what their age group is, and where they are from, etc. You should also know the topics that they’re interested in. In this way, you could add these topics in your content reliably and write great content while keeping in mind their details.
Satisfy your keyword’s search intent:
While writing your content, you should keep in mind the search intent of your keyword. You should satisfy the search intent for the keyword with the relevant details. For example, if a user types the keyword in Google Search bar, “apple stores near me”, then they’re referring the stores of Apple company, not the stores of eatable apples; therefore, Google starts showing them the relevant results on its first page. Therefore, it’s significant to figure out what the actual intent of a user is behind typing a specific keyword and write your content around that intent.
Add your primary keyword naturally:
You should add your primary keyword in every article naturally. Don’t add the keyword unnaturally in your content for high rankings as this trick doesn’t work anymore in the modern era of search engines. You should add your primary keyword that you want to rank your content for as naturally as possible.
Include relevant keywords within your content:
You should include relevant keywords within your content to make it detailed. For example, you’re writing a blog piece on a topic, how to write a listicle, then you should definitely include some LSI keywords within your piece. LSI (Latent Semantic Indexing) keywords are those that are contextually related to the main keyword, and you should add them within your content to make it highly researched as far as possible.
Add secondary keywords in your subheadings:
You should add seconded keywords in your subheadings to make your content more SEO-friendly. In this way, this would be easy for search engines to understand your content contextually and rank it on their pages.
Write attractive headlines:
Your headline or title must be attractive or compelling for the reader so that your reader could be attracted psychologically to click on your page on Google Search. When the clicks of your page and the time spent on that page is high, your ranking also becomes enhanced on Google Search. Also, don’t forget to add your primary keyword in your title.
Include target keywords in your meta tags:
You should add your target keywords in your meta titles, meta descriptions, and meta images. This helps search engines rank your content on these keywords.
Implement external and internal linking:
You should add external as well as internal links within your blog to make it credible, informative, and search engine optimized. Without an internal link, your page would be an orphan page or content without a proper link structure on your site, and when you add a reliable external link within your article, you add credibility for your content in the eyes of a search engine.
Create content hubs:
To get high rankings on Google for your articles, you should create content hubs. Content hubs are central pillar pages with linked subpages. A central pillar page shows an overview of the main topic, and its subpages show someone’s high topical authority as these are written on the subtopics related to the main topic. In the current era, Google applies EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authority, and Trustworthiness) principle to rank any content on its pages, so you have to prove your topical authority via a content hub and other relevant details (e.g., your optimized LinkedIn profile and YouTube channel).
Rewrite and update old content:
You should rewrite and update your old content when necessary as Google is fond of fresh content. There are some articles on a website that need to be rewritten due to the informational updates or need to be changed somewhat due to the minor changes in their domains.
