How to Write SEO Friendly Blogs

Writing is a skill, and writing blogs is no different. It’s easy to keep it interesting and fun, but not so easy to get the most attention for it.  Many bloggers fail to utilize the full potential of their blogs. Making your blog search engine friendly is crucial. It is an essential tactic for marketers, but mastering it can be challenging. Writing an SEO friendly blog can be an intimidating task to conquer, but there are a few tips and tricks to keep in mind when writing to make the most of your blog.

Where Do I Start?

You should always do thorough research before writing, if you don’t mind. Discovering what you want to write about helps the planning process go a lot faster and easier. Keyword research is crucial for optimizing the SEO of your page. Finding relevant keywords you can continuously use throughout can only help, and there are even a few online databases that can help find you relevant words to incorporate into your writing.

What You Need To Know

Once you have conducted your research on the topic, use the relevant keywords. Using a word once won’t increase your SEO. Carefully placing keywords in the text at the right places will have the most impact for search engines searching for that topic. A few places to include your keywords are the title, headings, introductory sentence, conclusion paragraph, and anywhere else you deem suitable. Be careful not to overdo and confuse the reader.

Word count is crucial if you want your blog to hit first page on Google so make sure you optimize the length. Contrary to popular belief, if your article is too long, no one will want to read it. SEO friendly blogs are usually between 300-700 words. There is also a general rule of thumb when writing SEO friendly posts to put your keyword or search term in about 1-2% of the text.

Keep up to date on your blogs as nobody wants to be re-reading the same material for months. People will get bored and stop searching your site if there is never anything new. New content is recognized by Google and it will show your website is alive and active. Google will begin to push your website further down the list of search results if it is never updated.

Writing SEO friendly blogs can be tricky, but with the right techniques and strategies, you can get your website to rank high on Google search results. As long as it’s good, consistent content, Google will notice and thus bringing more traffic to your page, so always make sure you’re maximizing your SEO friendliness!
