As the Internet grows up, so do SEO content writing services – gone are the days of ‘keyword stuffing’ and illegible, gibberish-filled articles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Top search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo! all reward high-quality content with higher SERP rankings, and more importantly, your readers demand valuable, engaging content.<\/p>\n

Jeff Bullas<\/a> states that content publishers have four “media category choices for creating engaging content”; text (copy), images, audio and video. Here’s how you can write search engine optimized content that captivates your audience:<\/p>\n

Research Your Keywords<\/h2>\n

To create captivating SEO content, you need to know what your audience is searching for. Keyword research tools like Google’s AdWords Keyword Planner<\/a> provide invaluable information about your target market.<\/p>\n

According to Moz.com<\/a>, “Ranking for the “right” keywords can make or break your website”.<\/p>\n

Write Simple, Solution-Focused Content<\/h2>\n

Today’s web users rarely read – they ‘skim’, looking for valuable, engaging content that delivers quick, practical solutions. This is where many ‘traditional’ writers fall down; while a 3000-word essay might have earned top marks in a high school English class, that same lengthy, narrative style falls flat on the web.<\/p>\n

Be Empathetic<\/h2>\n

Jerod Morris of Copyblogger<\/a> explains how empathy is an important component of every successful content marketing campaign, even one that’s focused on SEO.<\/p>\n

Start The Conversation<\/h2>\n

Truly engaging SEO content isn’t a set-it-and-forget-it product, it’s a powerful conversation-starter. Once you’ve published your SEO blog post, article or web page, be prepared to promote your content through social media channels, backlinks and real-time social engagement.<\/p>\n

Your audience wants to feel connected with you and your brand – simply publishing great content is only half of the equation.<\/p>\n

Writing truly engaging SEO content<\/a> is a combination of science and emotions; you need to captivate your audience with empathy, solve real-world problems and target the keywords that they are searching for right now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
