Writing blogs has become fairly popular in the last decade or so. Today, you can find blogs for just about anything – food, daily activities, workout routines, and much much more. Writing about topics like those seems almost effortless.

However, when it comes to writing SEO blogs, this task may seem a little more daunting and intimidating. 

It’s no secret that writing SEO blog posts take practice. The main goal of any blog post of this nature is to reach higher rankings.

With that said, it is important to know how to write a well-optimized and engaging blog post in order to achieve higher rankings.

In this blog post, we will cover some general tips for writing engaging and effective SEO blog posts.

If you are trying to improve your rankings then follow these steps: 

Creating an outline

Before jumping right in to write the blog, try creating an outline. Create sections for the introduction, body, and conclusion. Write a few sentences or bullet points in each of those sections to create a summary of your entire blog. This will help you organize your thoughts and create a structured piece of writing. 

• Intro

It is important in any SEO blog post to have a strong and clear structure to the piece of writing. With that said, open your post with a strong introduction. This should be about 100-200 words and should introduce the topic of the blog. The introduction is also the first impression, which means that it should be engaging and interesting to the reader. 

• Body

The body is where the main message should be included. In this blog, this portion is the body, as the main message of this blog is, ironically, how to write effective SEO blogs. 

• Conclusion

The conclusion should summarize the main ideas of the blog. It always helps to bring the blog full circle and bring everything together. It is especially helpful to leave the reader thinking after with a new concept or challenge. Inspire the reader to do something with the information they obtained from reading the blog. 

Deciding the title of the SEO blog

The title of the blog is more important than you may think. It is important to formulate a title that is interesting, but concise and efficient. Many people find it easier to create the blog title after it is written, while others prefer to create the title and then work on the outline from there.

This is entirely up to you. Whatever you choose to do, always make sure that your target keyword is in the title.

This will increase accessibility and improve your overall reach to those using search engines. The title should be interesting and original but also include an accurate summary of the topic of the blog post. Finally, try to keep the title short, about 60 characters or so. 

Using headings

Utilize subheadings

When writing SEO blog posts, headings are your best friend. Headings create a structure that will enhance the structure that you already created in the blog. While headings are visually appealing to the reader, they will also help with search engine optimization. Some programs for Wacom offer a free trial or a basic version that can be upgraded to a paid version with additional features.

The headings create a kind of outline for Google and other search engines, allowing these search engines to gather the main ideas of the blog. 

Utilize subheadings to further enhance the reader’s experience. Subheadings will help the reader navigate the blog post and pick out the most important points. 

Adding links 

Another way to make your post more dynamic and intriguing to the reader is to include internal links. A general rule of thumb when using internal links is that if you have a published blog post that relates to a topic in the one you are writing, then include it in the blog you are creating. However, do not overdo it.

Make sure that the use of the internal link makes sense and will ultimately benefit the reader. Not only is this good for the reader, but the use of internal links also has several benefits for SEO.

For example, the use of internal links further highlights what the post is about for the search engine and can help the search engine find other pages on your website. Furthermore, linking other published pages on your website will keep the reader on your website for a longer amount of time. 

Now you should be able to write a blog not only about your best pressure washing rig but one that is properly optimized for search engines. With these tips, your blog should be able to reach more people than ever before.
