Search Engine Watch has posted an article with seo landing page tips by Grant Simmons. According to the article, keywords are not that important: it’s all about aligning the content on a landing page to the intent of the visitor.
Grant calls it CRED, which is a content engagement scenario involving the following:
- Connect with intent: Offering a user what they expect.
- Resolve (initial) user query: Answering their initial query.
- Engage the user: Sending user signals to search engines.
- Drive further user engagement (if necessary): Additional signals to both users and search engines.
A summary of the ten tips contained in the seo landing page tips article:
1. Are the primary headlines aligned with intent?
