Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the process
of improving the visibility and ranking of a
website or web page on search engines such as
Google, Bing, and Yahoo. A website optimised
correctly will not only receive an increase in
traffic, but it will also improve the quality of
that traffic. When planning a content marketing
strategy, SEO is critical. In fact, SEO content
development is the key to ensuring that your
content gets noticed in the first place.
According to a Forbes study, 72 of customers use
a non-brand keyword when searching before moving
to a brand keyword creating precious
opportunities for organisations to get discovered
through the power of SEO.

• There are many ways in which you can create the
  best SEO content marketing strategy for your
  brand. But first, lets answer a few questions,
  like why SEO is important for content marketing?
  What are the benefits of using an SEO copywriting
  strategy for organisations?

Importance of SEO Copywriting Strategies
1. Increased Visibility One of the primary
benefits of SEO is increased visibility for your
website and content. Optimising your website
content for search engines can improve your
search engine rankings, which, in turn, can lead
to more traffic to your website. According to a
study, organic search is the largest driver of
website traffic, accounting for 53 of all
website traffic. As a result, a lot of
copywriting services focus on SEO to drive
traffic and visibility.

2. Cost-Effective SEO is a cost-effective way
to drive traffic to your website. Unlike paid
advertising, you dont need to pay for each click
or impression. The cost of SEO is also
significantly less than the cost of paid
advertising. By investing in SEO, you can improve
your search engine rankings and drive organic
traffic to your website without the need to pay
for each click.
6
3. Builds Trust and Credibility SEO can help to
build trust and credibility for your brand. While
not a direct factor when it comes to Google
ranking, a website that displays expertise and
authoritativeness indirectly influences how high
the website will rank. So when your website
appears at the top of search engine results, it
shows your brand is authoritative and
trustworthy. This is especially important for new
and growing businesses. SEO content development
can help establish organisations as credible
sources in their industry.
7

• 4. Long-Term Results
• SEO can provide long-term results. Paid
  advertising stops as soon as you stop paying.
  But, SEO can continue to drive traffic to your
  website long after the initial investment.
  According to a study, the average lifespan of a
  page one Google result is around two to three
  years. This means that if you can get your
  content to rank on page one, it can continue to
  drive traffic to your website for years.

8

• 5. Enhanced Customer Experience
• SEO can also help to improve your websites user
  experience. Optimising your website for search
  engines makes it easier for users to navigate and
  find the information they are looking for. This
  can lead to higher engagement and conversion
  rates, which can ultimately help improve the
  bottom line for your business.
• Now that we have established that SEO content
  development is a vital aspect of any marketing
  strategy, its important to understand how to put
  it into practice to ensure your business reaps
  the benefits. One way to do this is by utilising
  the SEO copywriting strategies employed by
  professional copywriting services.

Top SEO Copywriting Strategies to Implement

• Here are a few tips and tricks about how you can
  use SEO content development for your benefit

10
In-Depth Research for Keywords

• Researching keywords is an important aspect of
  SEO. It helps identify the specific terms and
  phrases your target audience is searching for.
  Optimising your website and content for these
  keywords can improve your search engine rankings
  and drive more organic traffic to your website.
  There are several tools that can be used for
  keyword research, such as Google Keyword Planner,
  SEMrush, Ahrefs, and Mozs Keyword Explorer.
  These tools allow you to identify high-volume and
  high-value keywords relevant to your business and
  industry.
• These tools also provide insights into the
  competitiveness of a keyword, helping you decide
  which ones to use. They can help you identify
  long-tail keywords, which are more specific and
  less competitive (more on that later.) By doing
  proper keyword research, you can make sure that
  you are relevant to your target audience and
  improve your search engine ranking and website
  traffic. Therefore, this is one of the most
  important SEO copywriting strategies.

11
Use of Long-Tail Keywords

• As mentioned above, long-tail keywords are more
  specific and less competitive phrases that are
  often easier to rank for. They also tend to have
  a lower search volume but higher conversion rates
  as they are more specific to what the user is
  searching for. For example, instead of using the
  keyword shoes, a long-tail keyword would be
  mens running shoes or womens flip-flops.

12

• One way to use long-tail keywords is by including
  them in your websites content. You can improve
  your search engine rankings by creating
  informative and useful content optimised for
  long-tail keywords. You can also attract more
  targeted traffic to your website. Moreover, you
  can use long-tail keywords in your websites meta
  tags, such as the title tag and meta description,
  as well as in your URLs and header tags.
• Blogs can also be a great way to attract targeted
  traffic to your website. It happens by providing
  informative and useful content that is optimised
  for long-tail keywords. Copywriting services
  often use long-tail keywords extensively in blogs
  to further drive an organisations content
  marketing strategy.

13
Use Headings and Subheadings

• Using subheadings for SEO helps break up the web
  pages content into smaller, more easily
  digestible pieces. This not only makes the
  content more readable for users but also helps
  search engines understand the structure of the
  content on the page. Subheadings can also help to
  emphasise key points and make the content more
  scannable. This can improve the user experience
  and increase the likelihood that users will
  engage with the content.
• While breaking down the content into pieces, its
  also important to consider the structure and flow
  of the content. Make sure that the subheadings
  and sections are logically organised and flow
  smoothly from one to the next. This ensures that
  users can easily follow the content and
  understand the main points.
• You can also use keyword research to identify the
  most important keywords for your content. Then,
  you can incorporate them into the subheadings and
  throughout the content in a natural and relevant
  way. This will help to improve the visibility of
  the content on search engine results pages.

14
Leverage Internal and External Links

• Internal and external links help search engines
  understand the relationships between different
  pages on a website. Internal links link to other
  pages within the same website and can help the
  readers engage with a brand through multiple
  articles. External links link to other websites
  and can help to establish the authority and
  credibility of the content published.
• To integrate internal and external links into
  content, its important to use clear and
  descriptive anchor text. It should accurately
  reflect the content of the linked page.
  Additionally, its important to ensure that the
  links are properly formatted and use the
  appropriate HTML tags to state their destination.

15

• When adding internal links, make sure to link to
  relevant and high-quality pages on your website
  that provide more information and context to the
  content. When adding external links, its
  important to link to credible and authoritative
  sources that can provide valuable information and
  resources to the users. By leveraging links,
  copywriting services often aim to lead readers to
  the right web pages to nudge them forward on
  their information search journey.

16
Write Compelling Meta-Descriptions

• Search engines often use meta descriptions as the
  text snippets that appear below the page title in
  search engine results pages (SERPs). They can be
  a powerful tool for attracting users to click
  through to a webpage. They can also help to
  communicate a webpages main content and value to
  both users and search engines.
• When writing a meta description, its important
  to include relevant keywords that are targeted by
  the page, but also make sure that the description
  is written for humans and not just for search
  engines. Keep it concise and clear, and make sure
  it accurately describes the content of the page.

17

• Its also important to use meta descriptions in a
  strategic and balanced way. Avoid repeating the
  same description across multiple pages, as it can
  make the website look like it has spam and may be
  penalised by search engines. Instead, make sure
  each page has a unique and compelling meta
  description that accurately reflects the content
  of the page and entices users to click through.
  When used correctly and within its character
  limit, meta-description is a simple but powerful
  way to enhance SEO copywriting strategies.

18
Give All Images Alt Tags

• Alt text (also known as alt tags) is the
  alternative text that shows if an image cannot be
  displayed for whatever reason. Alt tags help to
  make the content more accessible for users who
  are visually impaired or using screen readers.
  Also, since search engines cannot read images,
  they help search engines understand the context
  and content of an image.
• When adding alt tags, make sure to include
  keywords relevant to the image and the content
  surrounding it. This will help search engines
  understand the context of the image and how it
  relates to the surrounding content. Also, make
  sure only to include alt tags for images that are
  relevant to the content and add value to the
  page. Avoid adding alt tags for images that are
  only used for decorative purposes, as it adds to
  the noise on the page. As decorative images
  provide no information or content, linking them
  to an alt tag creates little-to-no value.

19

• Its also important to note that alt tags should
  be brief. Too much information can dilute the
  value of the tag and make it less effective in
  helping search engines understand the images
  context. Therefore, copywriting services often
  keep the limit for alt tags under 125 characters.

20
Optimise Website Load Time

• Search engines like Google use page load time as
  a ranking factor in their algorithms. Therefore,
  a faster-loading website is more likely to rank
  higher in search results. Naturally, users are
  less likely to engage with or return to a website
  that takes a long time to load.

21

• To optimise website load time, its important to
  identify and address any issues that may be
  causing the website to load slowly. This can
  include issues such as large image files, too
  many redirects, or slow server response times.
  Copywriting services use tools such as Google
  PageSpeed Insights, GTmetrix, or WebPageTest to
  identify these issues.
• There are several ways to optimise a websites
  load time. These include compressing images and
  using a content delivery network (CDN) to
  distribute large files. You can consider using
  browser caching so that users dont have to
  download the same files repeatedly. Also, ensure
  that the website is hosted on a reliable and fast
  server for an optimum SEO copywriting strategy.

22

• Keeping these tips and tricks in mind while
  developing your SEO copywriting strategies can go
  a long way in ensuring that your content
  marketing strategy reaches its full potential.
  However, developing in-house expertise to execute
  these strategies to perfection can be a huge
  challenge for organisations. But that does not
  mean you should put a break on SEO content
  development.
