1. Map content to search intent
Before writing, look at what already ranks. If Google shows product pages, a blog post will not win. Match the format to the intent.
2. Build topic clusters with strong internal links
Group related articles around a pillar page and link them together with descriptive anchor text to pass authority and help crawlers.
3. Add structured data
Schema markup for FAQs, products, reviews and local business can unlock rich results and increase click-through rate.
4. Fix Core Web Vitals
Compress images, defer scripts and use a fast host. Speed is both a ranking signal and a conversion factor.
5. Refresh old content
Update statistics, expand thin sections and re-publish. Refreshing pages that already rank is often the fastest win.
