Targeting a keyword with your blog posts involves four crucial steps:
► Identifying search intent
► Finding subtopics
► Improving user experience
► On-page optimisation
Before diving into these steps, you need to conduct keyword research. Keyword research helps you discover relevant keywords and phrases that your target audience is searching for.
Once you have identified your target keyword, you can move on to the main parts of targeting keywords with your blog posts.
First, identify search intent, which is the reason behind a user’s search query. By analyzing top-ranking results, you’ll learn about content types, formats, and angles that perform well. This knowledge will help you create content that aligns with user expectations and boosts your chances of ranking.
Next, uncover subtopics by conducting a content gap analysis on top-ranking pages. This process allows you to identify common keywords and topics that you can include in your blog post.
To enhance user experience, you need to make your content readable and engaging. This includes using short sentences and paragraphs, incorporating visuals like images and GIFs, utilizing subheadings, lists, and summaries, and using simple language that resonates with your audience.
Finally, optimize your page for search. You’ll discover how to maximize your efforts by incorporating your target keyword in the title, heading, and URL slug. And don’t forget internal linking to relevant pages and providing descriptive alt texts for images.
