Loading ...One problem a lot of site owners come across is keeping their content on track. It’s difficult enough assembling content to provide a site with a constant feed. Add to this the burden of making that content interesting, provoking, optimised and focussed and the task becomes enormous.
There are some very simple steps you can take to fine-tune your approach to content that will help your SEO, and help relieve some of that heavy burden. One of the simplest, of course, is to leave it all in the hands of your SEO company, and you can talk to us at SEO Consult Australia about content provision services. Not every business can take this path, however, so here are some other, equally simple steps to follow:
- Pick a central topic. Having a central topic helps you in at least two ways. First of all, it helps with content planning if you know which particular planet you’re orbiting around. Having a focus is more inspiring than having the world to choose from. Second, it helps establish your position in the eyes of internet users. A site with focus can easily become a resource in its field. It doesn’t matter if you wander off this topic for three out of four of your posts, and sub-topics are a great thing to explore.
- Get your titles right. Your title is possibly the most important part of your content. Think of titles as a reader’s call to action. It’s easy to get caught up in the search engine optimisation ideal of titles, namely those using keywords. Sometimes, a catchy title is more important. Find a process that works for writing titles, or get a professional in, or your content doesn’t have a chance of being read.
- Use images wisely. Most of the advice in the SEO industry seems to steer people away from using images, but this doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use them at all. Images really brighten up content, and blog readers are particularly used to them. Don’t forget to use the alt text and captions of your images for search engine optimisation.
- Make the most of your home page. Your home page is the place to advertise fresh content. Making the most of your home page doesn’t mean that you should push everything you possibly can. On the contrary. The best use of your home page is to selectively advertise your fresh content, with some of your business messages woven in as well. Look at the home pages that most attract you, and the more popular sites in your industry, when you’re after inspiration.
- Use your links! Internal links are a great way to get more of your content read. When an internet user reads your great new article on puppy rearing, they’re likely to be interested in related articles. Hyperlinking through to older articles is doing your readers a favour as well as helping your SEO. It goes without saying that the best hyperlinks are those using the keywords of the linked page.
