Will I beat them/ will I rank higher than them for this keyword? This is the mindset you need for each and every article you write.
The key takeaway from this article is to not waste time & effort on fights you can’t win. Look at the competitive articles/sites and be assured that you will rank higher, only then produce the article. Keep looking for other keywords that you will rank for.
To get on the first page of Google, the main strategies are: understanding search intent to choose the right keywords, meaningful keyword research, looking at competitor’s article quality, DA and authority (first 10 results), keyword optimization in text, and producing excellent quality content.
In this strategy you will be spending a chunk of time on research which is the tricky part, the rest comes down to great content writing skills, which may already be what you excel in.
Strategy explained
- Choose a keyword tool that works for you, and write a long list of keywords that will work with your topic.
- You will need low competing, high/med searched keywords
- Keep in mind of the search intent, and where in the buyers journey the person searching for the keyword is
- While using the keyword tool, you will see similar keywords, drop those down too
- Pick your main keyword of at least 3 words
- Search for the keyword in Google and go through the first 10 results
- If the results are ads and too commercial, then don’t go for that keyword
- Look is the results have a DA under 30, and authority links under 2
- If so, it’s a good keyword to rank for if your website has good DA 30+
- Us the main keyword in the title, URL, meta description, subheading, text once
- For the rest create a google sheet of similar keywords (about 50) and use all those supporting keywords once each.
- Write a great article, include comparisons charts if possible, images, with clever CTAs.
- Track the article: views, conversions and ranking.
