Forging a successful alliance between content and SEO
1 – Content as the backbone of creating backlinks for SEO
An impactful SEO strategy relies on link building. Indeed, the stronger the number of trusted backlinks (incoming links to a website) the better the ranking of your site on search engines including Google. The key to creating impactful backlinks is creating powerful content that can be used by other sites to link back to your sites.
2 – Using content effectively to fulfil SEO strategy
Keywords are important words and phrases present on your website and its content. And, they allow access to your website through search engines. Thus, they are vital to a successful SEO strategy. Although keyword strategy differs from website to website, businesses make online searches easier by using keywords and keyword groupings throughout title tags, meta descriptions, and URLs. Use your keywords effectively to also create an effective content strategy and SEO optimization for landing pages and blogs.
3 – Constant work in progress
The need of the “Google” hour is fresh content. Thus, both content marketing and SEO need to be constantly reinvented and this requires relentless effort. The more updated your pages are, the more you benefit from good visibility and good rankings. A key factor is also regularly churning content that captivates your audience and keeps them coming back for more.
It can be concluded that content marketing and SEO complement each other. And, the success of one depends on the effective implementation of the other.
