Understand Keywords

You need to understand that the keyword with high volume is not the right keyword for your business. For example, if you are a service-oriented business, like Digital Marketing, then your keyword will never be “Digital Marketing”. For any start-up for a mid-level company, keywords should be broken into 3 different ideas.

Also optimizing in Q&A is easier and faster.
• Use Synonyms: Very few know that if you cannot rank on a certain generic keyword, there is always an alternative synonym that you can rank on. These synonyms are easy to rank, but ensure you keep tracking them so that you always have alternate synonyms.

So when you identify what is ranking, let us do reverse engineering to give users more than what is already ranking.

• Understand What they Provide: The first thing that you need to do is, write down what content they are providing. Re-write it in an easy way for users and then move to the pointer below.
• Check trends & update regularly: Once you have written the first draft, now it’s time to understand the trend and give some real examples to users so that they co-relate.
• Write regular Small topics to interlink: Once you have given a brief about the topic, now it is time to increase its interlinking. Interlinking is like word of mouth within your network. So, ensure you regularly write a new article to interlink to the remaining keywords. The more you do, the more weight the main article will get.
