With so many businesses, websites on offers investing time and money to rank high in the search engines for highly competitive keyword phrase.

And in such a way that it is compelling, informative and helpful to the website visitor. To begin you need to bring all your various ideas together.

SEO Content Ideas

One of the major tasks of writing SEO content is collecting your ideas together. For this you need to know what keyword phrases you will be creating content around.

SEO Content Best Practices

Always write your content for humans first is number one in SEO content best practices because the danger is as an SEO content writer you focus too much on the search engine optimisation aspect of your content creation.


Yes you need to make sure that your on-page SEO aspects such as page title. meta description, H1, H2, h3 headings and sub headings are all in order for a mixture of keywords. Together with their density in the body copy, image file names and alt text. But these should not be manipulated so that you lose the interest of the human reader.

People first bots second

As a writer of SEO content you naturally want to get the attention of the search engines. And meet the criteria of the algorithms, but never at the detriment of your website visitor.


Remember that your true end goal is to produce SEO conversion content that will get individuals to take the action you want. Bots don’t become paying customers, clients or patients. People do.


As a SEO specialist you know that search engine algorithms have become ever more intelligent. And more and more sites are being penalized because of bad SEO practices. But you also need to bear in mind that real website visitors penalize a website in seconds. By clicking away if it does not meet what they want.

Know your visitors

For this you need to put your thinking cap on and create an avatar or a series of avatars. This area alone could be a series of articles but here is a brief idea of what you want to do.


This is fictional person who will become your customer, client or patient.


Name your avatar, how old are they, what gender are they, are they married, do they have children, where do the live? 

Then write down their occupation, title, income, education.


In relation to your offer …

What problem do they want help with.

What do they really, really want.


Once you have a clear picture of your avatar you can then write directly for them in a concise and logical manner. This doesn’t mean necessarily fewer words but it does mean that each sentence contains all the information in a way that can clearly understood.


No one wants to read a long-winded wordy article. Most will skim first before deciding to read more so you need to use headings , bullet points, pictures and sometimes video to grab the attention.


Always break up daunting “walls of text.”


Paragraphs on the web are more readable if they are short – as little as one or two sentences, but usually not more than 100 to 125 words.


And these paragraphs should seek to solve a specific problem or fulfil a wished for desire.


Most people don’t become a buyer on the first visit so your content needs to offer some sort of valuable giveaway in exchange for their email address. You will then use the email so send a sequence of emails to bring people back to the offer until they buy.


Your giveaway could be a simple discount code, Step-by-step instructional videos, white papers, reports, eBooks or other digital or physical “freebies”
