Includes Visual Content
It is very good to provide
content that solve problems or needs to readers, but it is also essential to
add images to make reading the article more comfortable and enjoyable.
Because you should not forget
that the articles are read by people and not by robots, so you should try to
use visual content that facilitates the understanding of the topic you are
talking about or explaining.
Also, it is crazy to pretend that
a person wants to read an article with 2,000 words or more and that he does not
have a single image, except the header image, to visually understand what you
are trying to explain.
For this reason, according to
recent studies, articles that use 1 image for every 150-200 words are those
that are shared most by readers in social networks.
But it is not mandatory to use
only images in the articles to facilitate reading, there are also other types
of visual content that you can use such as:
- Memes
- Images GIFs
- Infographics
- Videos
- Podcasts
- Tables or Data Graphics
- Slideshare presentations
Enter a Meta Description
The next essential aspect that
you must bear in mind when you are going to write an article in your corporate
blog is the Meta Description, because this will allow the user to have a brief
description of the content and decide if it considers useful to click on the
link.
So, you should strive to include
a personalized meta description that allows you to capture the person's
attention so that they end up reading the content of the article, because if
you do not, the information that will appear by default in the search results
will be the first paragraph of the text.
To edit the Meta Description it
will be necessary that you have installed in your corporate blog the WordPress
plugin of SEO by Yoast , since until now the WordPress content manager does not
provide this functionality.
When you are going to edit the
meta description of your articles you should bear in mind that there is a limit
of 155 characters , because if you exceed the remaining text it will not be
shown and ellipses will appear in the search results.
Use Long Tail Keywords
When you are going to speak or
write about a certain topic in your corporate blog, it is necessary to have
defined the keyword you are going to use to position the article in the search
engines, since this will help to have a better positioning when people search
for information.
However, it is not enough to use
a generic keyword to do SEO with articles on your blog, since the popular
algorithm of the search engine Google has changed the rules of the game.
Therefore, you should now use
Long Tail or "long tail" keywords in your articles because there is currently a greater
competition that shares information daily to get a better position in search
results.
The main difference between a
generic keyword and a "long tail" word is the following:
- · Generic Keyword: shoes
- · Keyword Long Tail: shoes woman party
