Notas do Editor
- Content is essentially anything a user consumes on your website.
- If you consider what it would cost to rank for these keywords in PPC ads, you are saving $37 per month which is almost $450 per year. Depending on how much the piece of content costs you to make, content pays for itself in no time.
- That covers the basics of how users and search engines interact with the pages on your website. Now let’s talk about creating the actual content on your website with data to support it.
- Both SEMrush and moz have keyword difficulty tools to help. Google the term you want to rank for- can you beat those pages? USE INCOGNITO WINDOWS TO AVOID PERSONALIZED SEARCH RESULTS
- Identify themes and put together a short list per page. You can also perform another search to refine your list and find other related terms. KW Research differs based on the purpose. A product page is more specific, blog ideas can be broader and more of a discovery, etc
- You can use keyword research as topical discovery as we just covered. It should also, however, inform on-page optimization.
- Test that your page is clear and concise: have someone else read the page and tell you in a term or two what the page is about.
- Now that we’ve covered how to acquire keyword data & how to apply it on a page by page level, let’s take a more high-level, strategic view of the content on your website.
- Persona’s: coastal beach campers, extreme campers, family camper These should be clearly defined people, heck, give em a name!
- Persona’s: coastal beach campers, extreme campers, family camper These should be clearly defined people, heck, give em a name!
- Buying cycle:
- Gather all existing assets you have. Understand the landscape and move forward.
- Not all personas or steps are created equal. You should have content to support all of your personas at each step in the cycle, but you may focus on some areas more than others.
- Google ‘create content calendar’ or ‘content calendar template’ to get some great examples. Essentially, consider overall demand as well as search trends, holidays, and seasonality when planning content.
- Don’t expect that users are visiting your site or blog daily for new content. Share your content regularly on channels your customers engage with.
