QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

What is optimized content?2021-08-17T13:47:49+00:00

Optimized content is content that is ranking high in search engine results pages.

Different key terms require different levels of optimization: highly competitive terms require more work, while new/niche/less competitive topics require less optimization.

Depending on competitiveness or a.k.a. “keyword difficulty” of a search term, you might need to:

  • Add multiple subtopics to cover different aspects of the search intent
  • Add image/video content to make the page more appealing to the users
  • Improve on-page elements such as heading structure, alt elements, etc.
  • Work on gaining backlinks for the content or increasing the overall domain authority of the website.

Here’s the template for content optimization we use at TSG – Content Planning and Outlines template, which will help you work on optimizing your content. And feel free to book a free work session with us to discuss the best approach to content optimization based on the resources you have available.

How do I optimize website content?2021-02-09T22:02:21+00:00

Optimizing website content is a data-driven process that starts with keyword research. To start optimizing your content, first check which keywords the page ranks for right now.

  • You can find this information in Google Search Console > Performance > Landing Pages > click on the page URL, then check the queries.
  • Or you can use external tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs or MOZ.

When you see the keywords, you need to choose which of them are relevant to your business.

Then you create a plan for updating the content:

  • will you expand existing paragraphs?
  • add more subtopics?
  • or do you need to rearrange the page layout to move up in the rankings?

When updating your copy, you can also plan for making the page better from a CRO (conversion rate) perspective. Think about:

  • Adding social proof/testimonials to your page
  • Explaining “the process” — what can customers expect from you?
  • Add FAQs — they are excellent for both SEO and CRO
How do I book a free training?2021-02-09T21:58:49+00:00

We’d like to invite you for a free digital marketing training for a team of 3 or more people where we’ll discuss what’s new in SEO and Content Marketing and how to turn this knowledge into more business for your company. Use the link below to book a time or discuss more about the training:

What will I get out of the free digital marketing training?2021-03-01T15:52:06+00:00
  • You may bring your whole team (3+ people) to the training, as you wish.
  • You stay current: we’ll discuss what has changed in the last 1-3 years, so you know you’re using current knowledge and strategy.
  • Very often, during your session we identify some quick wins that are also easy to implement.
  • Next (in 80% of the trainings) we decide, together, to do follow-up work sessions where we tackle, together, 1 or more BIG issues you’re dealing with, right now.
  • On those work sessions our team does some prep work by pulling data to support the issue discussion. And we work together to identify workable solutions for your company.
  • Plus, you’ll get free access to competitor review and content optimization templates to help you implement, more easily, what you’ve learned in the training.
Why do you offer digital marketing trainings for free?2021-03-01T15:50:42+00:00
  • We started this series of free trainings and work sessions after the first set of findings from our research: The top 3 issues of b2b Content Marketers. The trainings were a continuation of the research to dig deeper into those issues and see how we can find solutions for them.
  • During lockdown, these training managed to fill a gap and decrease stress levels with fellow marketers, who experienced increased demand for digital marketing knowledge for their teams.
  • We didn’t plan for it, but those sessions also helped us learn a lot about figuring out how to plug in digital channel tactics into existing marketing mixes of established companies, who were recently turning into digital and were operating with limited resources. These solutions are specific for every company and are born only through open discussions.
