The definition of content in SEO
There’s no textbook definition available for content so that you can study it line by line and understand it. Content, as stated by Heidi Cohen (a top marketer), is the high-quality information written in the form of a story so that it can trigger an emotion in people and keep them engaging until they reach the conclusion. He also said that content in SEO is delivered not only in the form of text but it is also available as videos, images, audio, and presentations.
The value of content in SEO
The main goal of SEO is to make people engaged with your website and make them like and share the content as much as possible. The content must be so valuable that your audience automatically feels to share it and spread it among their connections. This is the reason why digital marketers have to always prioritize publishing good and engaging content that keeps the audience entertained. Now, let’s talk more technically… Google, the famous and the most-used search engine, works entirely focused on organizing the information in such a way that it becomes universally useful and accessible. This is the reason, Google constantly updates itself through several algorithms to offer the vast load of information on the internet to the people efficiently. However the question comes here is, what kind of content do people find it easy to read? The answer is simple: the most readable, valuable and relevant content. Now, Google's task is to separate the good content from a heap of badly-written or irrelevant content. For this, it introduced the concept of SEO which can make your content appear at the top of the list when people search about a particular topic. And hence, to make it to the top list in the search results page, your website should contain the most unique and audience-centric content. You should have the content that your competitor sites don’t provide. You must organize the structure and format of the content so that people find it easy to read and understand.
The benefits of the content in SEO
There are numerous benefits associated with the content in SEO. Google, as well as the audience, prioritizes only valuable content on every website. Here we are showcasing some of the major benefits you can experience while using highly valuable content in SEO.
You will have a high CTR (click-through-rate)
Having a high CTR makes your site most recognizable in Google. When people are clicking more and more on your site, it means that they find it valuable, it is what Google needs to rank the website. Ultimately, you will gain a wide exposure in Google, which in turn can increase your revenue.
You can generate more backlinks
Backlinks are the perfect way to build trust and credibility to your website. If you have nice and well-structured content, other high-authority websites will not have any problem to create links that are direct to your page. Google considers this technique very seriously. So, the content here plays a critical role to generate traffic from your targeted audience.
You can incorporate more keywords
We all know how Google condemns keyword stuffing. You may even be fined for using keywords inappropriately. But good content will not allow you to do that. You can strategically place your keywords in as many ways as good English writing allows you to. All you need to have is a creative brain.
