***************************************
What are keywords in the context of SEO?

They’re words and phrases that people type into search engines to find what they’re looking for. Keywords are important in SEO because it sets the entire foundation for search engine optimization.

The basic goal of SEO is to rank your pages for keywords that your target audience or customers are searching for. And if you’re not ranking for keywords that actually get searched, then your SEO efforts are meaningless.

Keyword research is the process of finding keywords that people are inputting into search engines.

How do you actually choose keywords that are worth targeting?

The first thing to check is if your keyword has search demand.

You’ll learn how to check for search demand in the video.

The second thing to check is the traffic potential of the topic. This represents the total search traffic you could get if you were to rank at the top of Google for your keyword.

Why is traffic potential much more reliable than search volume? How do you check it? We’ll go through the process in the video.

The next point is to assess the business potential of the keyword or topic.

Business potential simply represents the value a keyword has to your business. And “value” really comes down to your niche and your business model.

You’ll learn how to do this in the video.

The next point is to see if you can match search intent.

Search intent represents the reason behind a searcher’s query. The way we determine that is by looking at the top-ranking pages for the keyword we want to rank for.

You’ll learn how to do this in the video.

Choosing keywords comes down to finding a balance in the checklist. You have to ask yourself some questions. Which questions are they? You’ll find out in the video.

Search intent represents the reason behind a searcher’s query.

Matching search intent is important to show search engines that your page will fulfill their goal, which is to deliver the most relevant results for any given query.

And while it might sound like you’re trying to satisfy Google, what you’re actually doing is learning what you need to do to satisfy the searcher’s intent.

Identifying search intent is usually quite easy. All you have to do is search for the keyword you want to rank for and then analyze the top-ranking results. And the top-ranking results are a great proxy to understand search intent because Google understands what searchers want, probably more than anyone else.

But how do you analyze the top-ranking results?

You can use a simple formula we call the 3 Cs’ of search intent. And you’ll learn how to use this formula to analyze search intent in this video.

Timestamps:

0:45 Identify the search intent
1:10 Check the three C’s of search intent

With on-page SEO, there are two main things we need to cover.

The first is to ensure that your page satisfies search intent.

You’ve already learnt the 3 Cs’ of search intent. But what do you need to write about in order to satisfy searchers? The answer is to learn from your competitors’ pages.

The top-ranking pages are ranking at the top for a reason. Google and other search engines deem them as the best candidates to satisfy a searcher’s query. So they’re clearly doing something right, at least from the perspective of a search engine.

You’ll learn how to research your competitors’ content in the video.

Once you’re armed with information, you can begin with your “technical” on-page optimizations. These will be:

► Target keyword in the title
► Short and descriptive URL slug
► Meta description
► Add internal links
► Optimize and compress your images
► Optimize for readability

We’ll go through each point in more detail in the video.

Timestamps

1:12 Ensure your page satisfies searcher intent
1:40 Learn from your competitors
5:05 Do a content gap analysis
7:10 Include your target keyword in the title
7:46 Use a short and descriptive URL slug
8:26 Craft your meta description
10:21 Optimize your images
12:31 Optimize for readability

SEO for Beginners: Learn to Rank #1 In Google (2024)

Getting into SEO, or Search Engine Optimization means helping your website appear when people use search engines like Google. It’s like creating special signs (keywords) that guide people (users) to your place (website) when they’re searching for something specific.

To begin, creating value-packed SEO content is crucial. Ensuring your page uses words that people often type into Google (on-page optimization with keywords) and that your website loads quickly (site speed) sets a solid base.

Digging deeper, we want to explore SEO strategies that elevate our website. This involves looking for special phrases (long tail keywords) that aren’t too common yet and ensuring our content truly answers what people seek (optimizing for searcher intent).

It’s like if you find a unique way to talk about your product or service that not many use. That’s what we’re doing with these particular phrases or keywords. The concept also applies to various areas, such as SEO marketing, SEO law, SEO tech, or even an SEO career, ensuring your page uniquely answers queries about these topics.

Also, ensuring your website is friendly, with easy-to-read words, and quick to load (optimizing for user experience with easy layouts and scannable content) is vital. Fast site speed and making sure people stick around on your website (low bounce rates) give Google a thumbs up about your website.

When other cool websites mention your website (building authoritative backlinks), it’s like the popular kids are saying your lemonade stand is awesome! This tells Google that your site is important and helps it appear more often when people search for things online.

In the SEO world, tools like Google Ads, Ahrefs, Semrush, and Moz can help your business stand out. They are like extra-helpful tools to put up even more signs directing people to your lemonade stand (your website).

So, in short, focusing on special phrases (long tail keywords), making content that really helps people (intent-based content), creating a friendly website (user experience), and getting mentions from other websites (niche backlinks) are key tips in your SEO adventure.

Doing these will help your website become a spot Google suggests to more people when they search online. This beginner’s guide provides a peek into SEO, which will lead your website to be found more easily in search engines and bring more visitors to your page!
