When writing content for your web pages, it is important to have well written articles, that are unique and informative. If you are selling products or services, you may also want to include a call to action. That will help you maximize your conversions. As work from home business owners, we need to optimize our SEO efforts. This includes our websites, as well as our articles.
Since you are writing content for websites, you will not only have to write for potential customers, but also for search engines crawlers.
Search engines, match a user’s search query, with keywords found on your pages, in an effort to display the most relevant search results. Effective SEO copywriting requires the right combination of compelling content and pages that are optimized for search engines.
Keyword Research
It is generally a good idea to start your SEO content writing process with a comprehensive keyword research. This will give you a good idea as to which keyword phrases are relevant, and should be targeted during your content writing process.
Organizing Your Content
It is a good idea to develop articles that target no more than three related keyword phrases. With this strategy you make it easy for search engines to understand what your particular page is all about. Plus, you avoid having multiple pages on your site compete for the same keyword.
Optimizing Web Pages
Developing optimized web pages is not complicated. However there are a few elements that need to be addressed, in order to give your pages the best chance to rank well on search engines:
1. Page Title
Page titles are the most relevant tags on your entire page, and will significantly affect the ranking on Search Engines. If your page is designed to sell something keep the title short.
Limit your title to 65 characters
2. Meta Description – Meta Keywords
Meta Descriptions will not help you with rankings. However they are often used as the description for your web pages on search results. Therefore write a meta description that matched your page content. Each page should have a unique meta tag and meta keyword.
For your meta description use between 20 and 30 words.
3. H1 Tag
Include your keyword phrase in your H1 tag. This will further help search engines understand what your page is all about.
4. Content
Don’t stuff your page with keywords. Start by writing for human consumption first, and make your content compelling and concise. As you start editing, see if you can include keywords in to your article in a way that sounds natural.
I suggest you try to achieve between 2-5% keyword density for your any given page.
By using these strategies, your website should move up the ranking of all the search engines. If you have done all these strategies, and your website still isn’t getting the rankings you think you should have, try changing your keywords. As work from home business owners, we must be willing to make changes to our website, to get better rankings and more traffic, for our website.
