However, this one is only valid for excellent and high-quality content. That’s because search engine algorithms have become advanced enough to prioritize high-quality content.
But if you don’t already know the importance of good content in digital marketing, this blog post will help you understand it. Here, you will discover the importance of writing good content according to the latest SEO ranking factors.
TOPIK UTAMA
What are Ranking Factors?
The term “ranking factors” refers to various factors that search engines consider to rank a website on the SERPs (search engine result pages).
Since Google is the most popular search engine and most digital marketers target Google, we will discuss Google ranking factors here.
There are approximately 200 factors that Google considers when indexing a website. However, we will discuss the most important technical, off-page and on-page SEO ranking factors here.
Crawlable and Indexable Website
One of the most important Google ranking factors is checking if your website is crawlable and indexable. This factor is crucial because if Google cannot crawl and index your web pages, the other ranking factors will be useless. So, to solve your website crawling and indexing problems, you can get help from Google Search Console (GSC).
Structured Website
A structured website will make it easier for Google to crawl and index a website. Therefore, you need to consider four basic elements for a structured website.
There are four basic elements to take into account to ensure that a website is well structured:
- The first core element of a structured website is site-wide navigation. Site-wide navigation will provide Google with an entry point to every web page on your website.
- A dearth of unique internal links can be the problem if a web page is not ranked well. Therefore, you should add at least five unique internal links to each web page of your website.
- If the content of a web page is not adequate enough to handle the addition of five internal links, you must create more content to support those internal links.
- The anchor text of an internal link must correctly indicate the intent of the keyword.
Main Vitals of The Web
According to Google, basic web data is a ranking factor. But, what is the main vital web?
The term ‘vital web tops’ is technical jargon for checking the load time of a web page and the overall user experience.
So, if you want to rank higher, you should also consider optimizing your website’s page load speed and overall user experience.
Different and Better Content Than Existing Material
Long content is actually better for ranking. But often, people misunderstand this concept. Therefore, they forget the main goal of creating content.
The main purpose of content creation is to create something new and unique for the keyword while still satisfying the intent of the keyword. Therefore, before moving on to content creation, you need to understand the intent of the keyword. In this way, it is easier to find unique and different perspectives on a keyword to create something new.
Backlinks and Website Authority
Website authority is still one of the most important ranking factors.
A website with a high authority level can publish a new page and rank in the top 10 without having a single backlink.
That’s the power of having high website authority.
So, if you are not getting the required SEO results, it may be due to low quality backlinks and less website authority.
Benefits of Good, Quality Content
To understand the importance of good quality content, we looked at the benefits of good content according to SEO ranking factors.
Improve The User Experience (UX)
User experience (UX) is one of the most crucial factors of off-page SEO for a web page or website. However, the UX of a web page or website is not just about its interface. Good content also plays a vital role in developing the user experience. Therefore, if you want to maintain and improve the UX of your platform, you should not overlook the quality of your content.
Increase Click Through Rate (CTR)
Like other search engines, Google also considers CTR when ranking a website higher on SERPs. Therefore, a better CTR is necessary for a better ranking of a website. But how can you improve the CTR of your website? The answer to this question lies in writing high-quality metadata.
The term ‘metadata’ refers to the title and description of a web page. Since most people open a web page after reading its metadata, writing high-quality metadata will increase the likelihood of driving more audiences to your website.
Build Authority
There is no doubt that search engines prefer high authority websites. But how can a new website increase its authority? That’s where high-quality content comes into play.
Providing valuable information is at the heart of the search engine’s mission. So when a new website offers high-quality and useful information to its audience, it will become a valid source of information in a particular niche.
Therefore, good content increases the authority of a website and builds its reputation.
Generate More Backlinks
Getting high-quality backlinks are among the most important Google ranking factors, especially after the Penguin 4.0 update. This is because having multiple high authority backlinks increases the likelihood of ranking higher for top keywords.
However, becoming a website capable of generating high-quality backlinks is only possible if you focus on producing high-quality content. Therefore, high-quality content will also help build a better website backlink profile.
Decreases The Bounce Rate
Whether you have a corporate website or a blog, your goal should be to get your message across to your audience. And the only way to convey your message to your audience is through a clear and well-written text. Clear and well-written content makes it easy for the audience to understand the text.
This way, the audience will stay on your website longer, which will ultimately decrease the bounce rate. Doing so will also help improve rankings in the long run. (CWT)
