Combining “intent” words with your keywords will enable algorithms to understand and index your content in these contexts. To ensure a great user experience, Google rewards content that matches a user’s intent.
Types of Search Intent
- Commercial: buy now, deals, services

- Transactional: reviews, top 10, best

Writing to Capture Attention
You have a few seconds to capture someone’s attention and not much longer to deliver your message. The majority of users don’t have time to read through reams of text, yet search engines need enough content to understand the context of your page.
Grab Attention
Place the keyword early on in your headlines, subheadings, and content to grab the user’s attention while providing relevance and hierarchical meaning to web spiders for ranking higher.
Easy Reading
Highlighting essential sections of text into easily discoverable quick reads is an effective solution to getting your crucial messages across clearly in a short time.
Keyword Usage
It is best practice to dedicate a unique keyword to a specific landing page. This exact keyword needs to be repeated in the URL, title tag, meta description, h1 and h2 header tags, the first paragraph of text and image tags.
Keyword Variations
Incorporating similar keyword variations throughout the copy provides extended context to search engines and boosts your SEO ranking.
Remember that user experience is key, and your content needs to read well to humans. It would be best to avoid keyword stuffing as search engines consider it bad practice.
Crafting a compelling meta description is essential to getting clicks to your landing page. A meta description is the wording displayed to users on the search results pages. Writing effective and keyword-rich meta descriptions can help improve your website’s SEO ranking.
Navigation Keywords
Providing intuitive navigation labels and content hierarchy on your website is essential to driving engagement and conversions. Utilizing relevant keywords in navigation is important for a couple of reasons. First, it can help users understand where they are on your website and what content they can expect to find there. Second, it can help your website rank higher, as search engines use keyword relevancy as one of their ranking factors. Our SEO copywriter includes keywords in your navigation to help you get discovered and drive engagement when users land on your website.
Speak your Customers Lingo
If your customers feel that you created the advert for them alone, you have made the “perfect” ad. When your content delivers a belief that you know and understand the customer, you’ve already taken an essential step towards building trust. Understanding your audience and developing your buyer personas will help you write compelling content that will drive conversions.
Structured Data
The organised nature of structured data enables machine learning to understand your content quickly and clearly. Ultimately, structure and relevance enable Google to present content more efficiently in response to users’ search queries, such as voice queries, product searches, contact details and FAQs. Using structured data increases click-through rates and improves search visibility, including voice domination.
