SEO content optimization for
better visibility in Google

As a website owner, you want to write as much content as possible. News items, blogs or knowledge bases. Each one provides space to create content and fill your website. Of course, you want the content to be up to par and it should carry an informative charge, because it’s nice if your content is actually consumed by your visitors.

Effective texts for
online visibility

Content is also a good way to be more findable in the search engines. We also call this search engine optimization. By applying Search Engine Optimization (SEO) to your content, you increase the chances of visitors arriving at your website through an organic route.

The ultimate goal of your content is primarily to increase conversions. Indeed, in many cases, this is an organization’s revenue model. So it is nice if content can be a helping hand in this. To achieve that, it is useful (read: necessary) to do content optimization. What exactly that means and what different phases you need to consider, you can read on this page.

Part of your online marketing strategy

While brainstorming your marketing strategy, you probably come up with the coolest ideas. So when you are confident it will move your organization forward, be sure to implement it. Yet writing new content and optimizing this new content (content optimization) is often omitted. We think this is unfair, as content optimization can indeed have a big impact on your marketing strategy.

So in the next brainstorming session, broach this topic and use this page to show why content optimization is so valuable.

Improving SEO content: how does it work at 2manydots?

You’ve probably heard of Search Engine Optimization many times, but don’t know exactly how to apply it to your content. That’s not a problem at all, we are happy to help you. SEO basically means writing content with the right keywords, bringing more quality traffic to your website.

When you step into our proven Resultsmatter® process, we begin with a preliminary investigation. An important part of this preliminary research is analyzing your content. Does this already include some SEO or is there room for improvement here? We report this accurately and present it to the client with relevant examples.

The roadmap

0 measurement: a scan of your website

During the 0 measurement, we will look at where your website stands in relation to the goals set and aspired to. This provides a precise picture of the aspects that can be improved. Of course, we also look at the aspects that are already going well, so that these are not tinkered with unnecessarily. This is all put in place by taking a scan of your website.

Keyword research

Each company has established a target audience. After all, without a target audience, you don’t know where to focus your marketing strategy. Rather than just looking at the geographical aspects of a target audience, we really want to know everything about your audience. Only then will you achieve the desired result.

For example, how do you know what content to optimize if you don’t know what your target audience is searching for? During our keyword research, we will explore this thoroughly. For example, if your target audience searches a lot on “online marketing training,” we’ll include that in our keyword research. It is then worthwhile for your company to set up a page with good content about online marketing training.

Complete report with key findings

You hand over your work and hire experienced professionals as the extension of your marketing department. Then, of course, you want to see results and preferably as comprehensive and substantiated as possible. We get that and we make sure of it.

By providing an overview of all the pages on your website with our findings, you can see exactly where your website’s opportunities lie. Which pages are already currently ranking well? What are the relevant keywords your target audience is searching for? What conversions are possible there and what contributes to conversion optimization? Do you want to rank with these pages or would you rather bet on that other well-ranked page on your website? We determine which pages contain the most quality content that needs to be boosted to achieve the greatest effect. And all in a complete and clear report

Optimize content

Creating content is no easy task. You look for a new angle every time, and your text must be easy for visitors to read. In addition, the spelling should also be error-free, as a wrong d or t looks very sloppy. If that’s not already time-consuming enough, you have a hundred other obligations and activities you’re involved with on a daily basis that make content writing, let alone content optimization, nearly impossible. Still, you can see how important it is and that your website really can’t do without it.

Inhouse copywriter

2manydots has an in-house copywriter with extensive experience in writing SEO-friendly copy. Our copywriter goes to work with your input and transforms an empty page into a page full of relevant information that also includes search engine optimization.

Still prefer to write your texts yourself but just want an experienced second opinion? Even then, we can count as coordinators and do the final check of your text before it is exhibited worldwide.

What does content optimization entail?

Content optimization is a broad term. Chances are you don’t have a clear idea of what exactly is included in this. We briefly explain twelve terms to you.

Detecting dead links

A dead link leads nowhere and Google sees that. This comes at the expense of your content optimization, so you would do well to detect and remove the dead links.

Delete duplicate content

Duplicate content, also known as duplicate content, may be the death knell for your website. Avoid any kind of duplicate content by writing your articles or blogs with an original angle every time.

Compressing images

It is often forgotten but the images on your website also contribute to content optimization. Compressed images take up less space, which in turn contributes to a better loading speed of your website.

Delete rarely visited pages

Pages that are barely visited and do not contain essential information are better removed. This is because the likelihood of duplicate content increases as the volume of pages increases. It’s also quite possible that you don’t have the content of these pages completely clear, leaving duplicate content lurking.

Rewriting texts

Your business changes, and so once in a while the information on your website needs an update. Therefore, keep all your writing sharp and rewrite where necessary. When time permits, apply SEO to these texts as well.

Adding keywords based on data analysis

Adding relevant keywords is the basis of SEO and better online findability. Therefore, find out what your target audience is searching for and write new and relevant content from these interests

Customize meta titles and descriptions

Meta titles are underrated but at the same time indispensable during content optimization. Without good meta titles, Google will ignore your page and you will remain untraceable.

Microcopy rewriting

Even though a microcopy is small in size, it does take value. More times than not, microcopy can be found at call-to-actions or forms. It is a focused, short text that you use to explain the action.

Remove unnecessary code

Many (mostly dated) websites contain redundant code. This code is then loaded in without actually being needed. You can find more on our Technical SEO page.

Customize URL structure

When using many different URLs, you would do well to have a good URL structure. Be concise but clear in your URL. A visitor should understand in a few words what the visited page includes.

Customize Alt texts

Alt texts are often forgotten and that’s a shame. Always compose an Alt text so that it describes the photo. Also, make sure the keyword appears at least once in an Alt text. This is important for content optimization.

Internal links

In written content, always look for an opening to link through to a page on your website. This is how you keep visitors on your website. In addition, a good internal link structure is good for content optimization and search engine optimization.

Old content
is valuable

Don’t throw away old shoes before you have a new pair. We all know this saying and you can apply this seamlessly to content optimization. After all, in many cases, your current content is already valuable. By making only minor adjustments and adding value to this historical content, think of changing chapters or images, you will rank high in the search engines even with your old content. So don’t just throw anything away and let us look at this, for example.

Content writing as an ongoing process

Content creation, as mentioned above, is very time-consuming. After all, there is no maximum to writing content. So you really write as an ongoing process. ‘But I can’t think of any more topics for my Web site content.’ Then try recycling a topic but now with an original angle. Why? You have to keep optimizing because your website has a purpose. A website no longer counts merely as a well-formatted and digital business card. You want to get business out of your website, and rightfully so. Content optimization is definitely going to help you with this.
