Key Word/Phrase Research

Before getting started its important to have done some research into what key words or phrases you will be using in your post. Its best to have a list of key words ready to use through out your article including the main key phrase as this will run through out the title, headings and the article.

What Is a Key Phrase?

A key phrase means a set of separate words that build a phrase (so it’s a multi-word search term). If it is essential to distinguish between a single word and a phrase, these terms are used in their initial strict meaning. Otherwise, many search marketers often use both terms as synonyms and prefer the term “keywords” since it is shorter.

How to use Key Phrases to Create Engaging Blog Posts

You need to include it in the title of your post, and also in the introduction. Other places to include your key phrase are:

  • The alt of your images
  • Through out your content
  • Meta description
  • Featured images
  • Headings and Sub headings
  • URL Slug

Headings and Sub-headings

Make sure to sepperate all the different parts of your post with headings and sub headings to make your article easier to read. It help viewers navigate and find the answer they are looking for quicker. It also makes it more readable for search engines which is likely to make them want to suggest your article more when someone searches for it.

Make sure you have your key phrases running through out the headings and sub headings. Still keeping it readable and rather serving more as a guide to your post.

Title and Meta Description

First of all you need to include your main key phrase you are aiming for in both. This will make it very clear exactly what you are writing about. Further more it will also let the search engines know that if someone is searching for this subject, you have an article suited for them.

In addition to this keep your title to the point and your meta description to around 2 sentences. You need to describe very quickly and precisely the subject of your article in the meta description. Using the AIOSEO you can see a snippet of what your site and description will look at, go toward the bottom of the page.

Adding Pictures with links, alt descriptions with your key phrases and related images will also help boost your score for Search Engine Optimization. Also keep them related to the post and much like the headings more of a added guide to your blog.

Embedding Videos will also help increase your score and also promote any videos you have created. Most platforms enable you to embed videos, even live streams for gamers.

Search engines like to suggest long articles and ones with engaging content such as images and videos.

Internal and External Links

External Links are to other sites that you have have linked or suggested in your article, for example I may write an article on a Waterfall in Bulgaria with a good café to visit. To add to this article we can also leave a link within our content to that cafes website. However dont over link content but it always helps to have related content linked via images or words that viewers can click on to access them sites.

Internal Links are links to more content within your site. Perhaps to another blog or page, this will help drive traffic round your site. This will help for retention and time spend on your site.

Link related and appropriate words or images, for example after talking about adding internal and external links in the paragraphs above.
