Research Your Keyword(s)

• Keywords are the key to getting your site content
  seen by the viewers. So, before you start
  writing, you have to ensure you have a list of
  relevant keywords to work and focus your content
  on. You can start with 3, and go up to 5 or 6
  long tail keywords broadly.
• You have limited space to make impactful content,
  so use each word. Make powerful headlines that
  are clear, generate curiosity, and are rich in
  keywords. Keep the meta descriptions interesting,
  and elaborate on the topic of the article.
  Remember, the title and meta description will
  show up in the search results, so you must make
  them count!
• Some good tools for professional SEO writing are
  SemRush and KWFinder that help in keyword
  research.

5
Organize and Draft

• Many seasoned writers skip this step. Organizing
  helps align thoughts and keeps your writing on
  track. That way, you can get done with the
  writing phase faster.
• Once you have figured what you want to convey,
  you need to organize it by adding the required
  citations and notes. This simple practice will
  help save lots of time in the future.
• The next important step in drafting is editing
  your work. After the first edit, you may take a
  break and read your write-up later, to get a
  fresh perspective or even better, get someone to
  read it.
• Make final changes after you are satisfied with
  the result. The more edits you have given, the
  better your article will look.

6
Optimize Your Links

• Generally, you need to use two kinds of links in
  your content, internal and external.
• Internal links are those that link back to your
  companys website. It can be a contact page, a
  blog post, or a shop. External links are those
  that connect to external sources that are used to
  back up your statements and give depth to your
  article.
• These are extremely important to SEO content
  writing, but be careful, links to non-reputable
  or out-of-date blogs will harm your content
  instead of helping.
• Including 1-3 internal links for a 1,000-word
  article will be sufficient.
• Link building goes a long way since link buying
  and link farms but is still an important ranking
  factor for content writing with SEO. Linking back
  to your articles ensures a link back to the
  website when the article is picked up by another
  site.
• If you are creating different types of content
  like infographics and videos, then add an embed
  code on the site to help to promote content
  sharing, and add a link back to the source.

Enhance your Content for Featured Snippets

• As mentioned earlier in this blog, getting a good
  ranking means everything for marketing. And if
  your piece of content is featured in the snippet,
  you establish your authority in your domain and
  the content will be regarded as an authentic
  source of information in your niche.
• But how do you get there? It cannot be by fluke,
  nor does it happen overnight. It takes time, and
  consistent efforts before your content get
  featured as a snippet.
• Featured snippets are precise answers to search
  queries by users. Google uses these snippets to
  answer quires in the best possible way. Your
  content must answer the given question accurately
  and briefly to be selected as a snippet.
• For instance, if the search is How to shoot
  video on iPad, you can put How to shoot a video
  on an iPad Computer as your H1 or H2, followed
  by a numbered or bulleted list of steps to be
  taken.
• After this, you can include a question in your
  answer. So your paragraph can start like To take
  a screenshot on your iPad, follow these steps.
