In the process of search engine optimization, content plays a very important role. Let us understand why content is important for SEO. Well, let us first answer what web provides us. The web provides us with information, which is content. Every page on the web is a document of information or content on numerous topics. Search engines crawl and index web pages to find the one which provides the most unique and relevant information. The pages which cater unique content are ranked higher on the search engine result page. Therefore, the quality of the content on your website contributes to your ranking on the SERP.
There are several types of content such as text, audio, video, images and a few other formats. Considering the technological advances, the types of content keep changing. The important point is to create content in a format that best serves the users and fulfills their expectations. If you are providing instructions on how to use a product, you can reach your audience in a PDF format. Music videos can be delivered in a video format. Search Engine Result Pages display all types of content. This includes links to other web pages, videos, blog posts, PDF files, images, news results, online shopping and many more types.
Content is produced and delivered for the following reasons: introducing new concepts and communicating with customers to build a strong bond with them. So, if you own an apparel brand, the content that your deliver should describe your products briefly. This will help increase your brand visibility and improve your ranking on a SERP.
The best part about producing content is that it is completely within your control. You are the master of what you deliver. You know your product and target audience. Hence, when you create your content, ensure that you are delivering what your audience expects. You can produce content in the form of blogs or information on other web pages, publish white papers or offer e-books for download. For promoting your product, you can even launch contests wherein you can award your product to the winner. No matter in which format are you delivering your content, it is highly influential for your website’s ranking.

ReplyDeleteGood quality content always gives excellent results to a blog or a website. Take note that it is very essential to have unique content since search engines want fresh and genuine content. Likewise, your site must always be updated. If you have a webpage that is running well, make sure to update that particular page at least once a month. Do not also try to copy content from other pages and post it in your blog because this will definitely get you reprimanded for breaching copyright. Try to consider these things because it will help you in rise among the search engine rankings, giving your site a stronger online presence.

Having a great content will surely establish the trust and expectation of your target audience. This will give them the reason to visit the website constantly. And, primarily, the keywords in the said content are what the search engine uses to determine the rank.

Well, good content is what really users look for in a certain website. I, personally, want to read something that more than just meets my needs, and one that also has either a thought-provoking, or engaging website. If a website offers something that is useful and informative, then probably, it will increase the chances of gaining more visitors, and perhaps, boost search engine rankings. :)

@ Masako, you are right. Good content will help you build credibility online. And, as what others have said, web users want to make sure they will gain some information once they visit your site and read your content. That’s why you need to ensure that you provide them with useful info that they can take and apply to their lives. ;) Think of a great topic that people will surely love.
