As a&nbsp;search engine optimisation company, we\u2019re in the perfect position to answer that question!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several factors you must consider, the most common three being:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Quality content<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/imagekit.io\/blog\/image-optimization-its-importance\/\">Optimised images<\/a><\/li><li>A proficient linking strategy<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have several other blogs that can help you with the latter two points. Here, however, we\u2019re going to explore the importance of quality content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A high performing SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) strategy is so closely linked with content marketing, they are virtually intertwined. Look at these benefits of producing quality content:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Forms a connection with your site\u2019s visitor<\/li><li>Educational content for the reader<\/li><li>Proving yourself to be a thought leader in your field<\/li><li>Building a solid reputation<\/li><li>Standing out against the competition<\/li><li>Increasing your search rankings<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider what the point of your website is, at its very core. However blunt and unappealing to the consumer it may sound, its point is to make sales. That\u2019s a universal truth. With this in mind, and aside from all the great benefits listed above, the most important benefit of producing quality content is to drive more traffic to your site which, in turn, creates more sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-marketing-button uagb-marketing-btn__outer-wrap uagb-marketing-btn__align-center uagb-marketing-btn__align-text-center uagb-marketing-btn__icon-before uagb-block-a6cfcbc3\"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/contact-us\/\" class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__link\" target=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title-wrap\"><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path d=\"M432,320H400a16,16,0,0,0-16,16V448H64V128H208a16,16,0,0,0,16-16V80a16,16,0,0,0-16-16H48A48,48,0,0,0,0,112V464a48,48,0,0,0,48,48H400a48,48,0,0,0,48-48V336A16,16,0,0,0,432,320ZM488,0h-128c-21.37,0-32.05,25.91-17,41l35.73,35.73L135,320.37a24,24,0,0,0,0,34L157.67,377a24,24,0,0,0,34,0L435.28,133.32,471,169c15,15,41,4.5,41-17V24A24,24,0,0,0,488,0Z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div><h6 class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__title\">DO YOU NEED A SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMISATION COMPANY?<\/h6><\/div><div class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix-wrap\"><p class=\"uagb-marketing-btn__prefix\">Click here to get in touch!<\/p><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-the-biggest-source-of-website-traffic-and-why-is-it-organic-search\">What Is the Biggest Source of Website Traffic And Why Is It Organic Search?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your website is undoubtedly the home of all your best content; everything that proves you know exactly what you\u2019re doing. If you take a quick look at your analytics, you will find out what topics your visitors want to see. These will, of course, be the pages with the most visits and the most time spent on them. Ideally, these will be the pages that lead to sales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best online source for quality leads is organic content, without question. By choosing the perfect keyword or phrase, you\u2019ll be able to hone in on the user intent. What are we talking about, you ask? Well\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say you\u2019re selling\u2026 trainers. With so much competition out there, ranking for the word&nbsp;<em>\u2018shoes\u2019&nbsp;<\/em>is going to be virtually impossible. Narrowing down the search so that it applies to your brand is a sheer necessity and is something a&nbsp;search engine optimisation company&nbsp;can help you with!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:auto 44%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/IMG_4337-1024x961.jpg\" alt=\"kids shoes\" class=\"wp-image-16458 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">By typing in something simple like\u00a0<em>\u2018shoes\u2019<\/em>, or even\u00a0<em>\u2018running shoes\u2019<\/em>, no one is likely to find your brand. On top of this, the searcher might not even be interested in\u00a0<em>buying\u00a0<\/em>shoes! With this in mind, it\u2019s important to analyze your audience in more detail. As a hypothetical shoe salesman, you\u2019re far more likely to make a sale by implementing key phrases, such as\u00a0<em>\u2018running shoe shop London\u2019<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on what type of search query your brand attracts, you can begin to qualify the leads by way of user intent. Your search volume must equal quality; something impossible when focusing on broad keywords and phrases. Volume, itself, is equally important too, as it provides a higher chance of conversion. Tools, such as Google Trends, can be particularly helpful in clarifying the volume of traffic you should expect from a specific search query.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Determining an exact ROI for content marketing alone is a difficult endeavour. SEO results can be tracked and measured, however, and will directly reflect the SEO activities our&nbsp;search engine optimisation companymentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cost-effective\">Cost-Effective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/terakeet.com\/blog\/organic-search\/\">Organic search<\/a> is the most cost-effective avenue of marketing by far. SEO done with care and consideration will never be\u00a0<em>cheap<\/em>\u00a0exactly, but the ROI is exceptional! Whilst professionals will be needed for many elements, there are ways you can help out to keep the costs down. Writing your own content, for example, if you\u2019re proficient at writing copy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-write-for-your-audience-optimise-for-google\">Write For Your Audience, Optimise For Google<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst this concept is a struggle for many, it\u2019s hugely important! Your website\u2019s content needs to hit two targets; it must appeal to potential customers whilst also providing the answer to a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your content is effective, people will be prompted to take action. Whether this means they fill out a form, contact you or even buy your product, your copy should direct them to an end result. In reality, SEO copy is basically sales, under the guise of imparting knowledge. That being said, it should certainly still be informative, helpful content, written in a way that attracts attention. The previously mentioned keywords and phrases should be organically slipped into the copy, too. See if you can work out what key phrase we\u2019ve squeezed into this blog\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-yes-size-does-matter\">Yes, Size Does Matter\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2026Or it does to Google, at least! At the time of writing this blog, Google favours blogs of around 1,700-2,400 words, but this just isn\u2019t feasible in many cases. Anything upwards of 1,000 words is definitely worthwhile content and you shouldn\u2019t attempt to pad it out with useless filler. Doing this will ultimately turn people away, leading Google to believe you\u2019re providing uninteresting content. This, of course, will have an adverse effect on your SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With search engines expecting at least two blogs a week, consistently pumping out engaging content can become quite difficult. This is where a&nbsp;search engine optimisation company, like VerriBerri, can help you thrive!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide is-stacked-on-mobile\" style=\"grid-template-columns:47% auto\"><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.verriberri.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/P1390192-1024x860.jpeg\" alt=\"Essex marketing\" class=\"wp-image-16730 size-full\"\/><\/figure><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<p style=\"font-size:14px\">Blogs with 1,000+ words rank much better than those that don\u2019t. Blogs of around 300-500 words may be penalised by Google for being \u2018<em>thin content\u2019<\/em>. Regardless of the content, Google may decide that it offers little to no value, thanks to the length. If this is the case, you will have wasted your time writing something that will potentially harm your site.
