Content Optimization (SEO)

A question that we are often asked is: How does my website score higher in Google?. Building strong external backlinks (linkbuilding / backlinking) is one of the elements that aids the improvement of your website’s position in search engines. But which other elements are factored in as well? The following pointers can help you to gradually improve your website’s visibility.

Writing SEO-friendly content is a job on its own, but once you know the things that you have to keep in mind, this skill is accessible to anyone.

For SEO it is not enough to just provide information-based value. For optimal search engine visibility, your content must be nice to read as well, and - more importantly - optimized with important keywords. The more relevant keywords your text contains, the better your website scores when users Google that specific subject.

Keep in mind that a high Google ranking is not guaranteed by these pointers, because the way that search engine algorithms analyze websites changes continuously. Hence, there is not one method that can 100% guarantee your top position in google.

Luckily, there is also good news. Over the years there are proven effective methods to give the algorithms what they’re designed for. And that results in higher search engine rankings, not just for now, but also in the future.

Before you start writing and using keywords, it is crucial that you start with a keyword research. This is easier than it sounds, and can be done with free tools, such as the Google Planner.

With this tool you can see how often certain keywords are used to search and you will get an overview of related keywords. These related keywords offer new angles and improve your topic’s visibility for various keywords regarding the same subject. If you combine your keyword research with an analysis of your competitors, you can assess which positions in the search result hierarchy are feasible for your website. Keep in mind that the keywords that you use must be related to the content you write on, otherwise you run the risk of being flagged by one of Google’s algorithms.

The more popular a keyword is, the more intense the competition within this subject. Most websites attempt to deliver the content that many people are looking for.

Most search engine users employ relatively short search requests (short-tail). Longer phrased search requests (long-tail) are employed less frequently. This means that there is less competition for long-tail keywords and that you can easily score high in this department.

Are you ambitious and do you also want to compete for the highest rankings in short-tail keywords? Keep in mind that there is a fierce competition. This means that it will take a long time before your website gets a high(er) position in the Google ranking.

With a well devised long-tail strategy and a technically optimized website it is possible to achieve a high google ranking rather quickly. A smart tactic, then, is to start with employing a long-tail strategy. Has your website gained authority in the long-tail keyword department of search engines? Then you have created the foundation that you need to start competing for short-tail keywords as well.

If you’re still not sure on how you should start, you can freely ask our SEO and SEA experts about the possibilities for your own website.
