How can you do this? By creating value through unique and relevant content.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Here are the right tools for your content search:<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google search: <\/a>Simply type in the search engine a question related to your topic and analyze the first 3 results.

They are indeed a way to get closer to your niche and determine its needs and requests. For example, don't hesitate to integrate Facebook groups related to your theme, they are full of inspiration to create targeted content that responds to a problem.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of online tools in addition to those mentioned above: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.semrush.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Semrush<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/trends.google.fr\/trends\/?geo=FR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google Trend<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/buzzsumo.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Buzzsumo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/answerthepublic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Answer The public<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/1.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1.en <\/a>etc. It's up to you to find out which ones you prefer to use!<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Keyword integration<\/h3>\n<p>We do not recommend that you place your keyword in every sentence. The <b>parsimony<\/b> and <b>consistency<\/b> are to be preferred!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The use of<b>a<\/b><b> field and a well-developed lexical field is the <a href=\"https:\/\/flowragency.com\/en\/reussir-ses-posts-instagram\/\">key to naturally optimize your content<\/a><\/b>. The term \"<b>semantics<\/b>\" <b>corresponds to the meaning relative to a word, contrary to the lexical field which is a grouping of words that refer to the same idea.<\/b> For example, the semantic field of the word 'Optimization' would be: strategy, tool, improvement, solution, performance, maximization, etc. However, the lexical field would be: SEO, natural referencing, content, writing, digital marketing, etc.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The research you have done on the topic of your article will allow you to <b>identify a relevant semantic and lexical field<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>To gain in productivity, we recommend that you create an excel file to list the semantic and lexical field related to your editorial line. <\/b>This file, if regularly updated, will allow you to <b>save time when writing your future SEO optimized blog posts.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Tips:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Your keyword must appear in your main H1 title<\/li>\n<li>It should also be present in your other H2-H5 titles, but not all of them and in a natural way<\/li>\n<li>Place your keyword and its synonyms seamlessly throughout your content<\/li>\n<li>Use questions around your keyword (how, why, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe title=\"Keyword research with Ubersuggest\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1ofC9aaziUw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Internal and external networking<\/h3>\n<p>In order for you to understand this technique, we will define the following two terms: <b>internal networking<\/b> and <b>external networking<\/b>in other words<b> inbound and outbound links<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h4>The internal link in SEO<\/h4>\n<p>This technique is extremely effective for<b> keep the reader on your site longer<\/b> but also for <b>improve the referencing of your article<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Internal linking consists of integrating links in your content that direct the reader to another article or page of your site. To implement this strategy effectively, ask yourself the following questions:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>As I read my article, what are some potential questions my audience may have and how can I answer them?<\/li>\n<li><b>What existing content on my site might interest my reader?<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>Which of my articles answers this question in more depth?<\/b><\/li>\n<li><b>What service on my site is related to what I'm saying here and would be of interest to my audience?<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This analysis then allows you to integrate links to direct the reader to some of your articles in a relevant way. <b>Not using this technique is to take the risk of seeing your reader leave your site to find out the missing information by redirecting himself to a competitor's site.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>So if here, I recommend you to go and read our (excellent) articles on <a href=\"https:\/\/flowragency.com\/en\/outils-redaction-web\/\">web writing: 12 essential tools to learn to write in 2022<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/flowragency.com\/en\/toolkit-for-elementor\/\">how to optimize WordPress: build faster websites with Toolkit for Elementor<\/a>Not only do I give you SEO relevant resources, but I also link to the rest of our content to keep you coming back to our site!<\/p>\n<h4>External linking in SEO<\/h4>\n<p><b>External links are all links leading to another site than the one you are on.<\/b> It has the direct effect of<b>improve the accessibility of a page by linking it to other pages<\/b>.

This is called a <b>backlinks<\/b>This is very useful if the site in question has a strong influence. <b>This can indeed help your article to be positioned permanently in search engines, because other sites refer to your content as quality content<\/b><\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Optimizing images for SEO<\/h3>\n<p>It is said that<b>a picture is worth a thousand words<\/b>and this is particularly the case for<b> referencing <\/b>!<\/p>\n<p>To begin with, it is important to pay special attention to the quality of your images. <b>Visuals are essential elements to attract and keep your reader on your page.<\/b> <b>Image banks such as <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.freepik.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Freepik<\/b><\/a><b> or <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Pixabay<\/b><\/a><b> are available to you free of charge<\/b> so don't hesitate to use them.

Reducing the weight of an image can indeed improve the loading of your website pages.<\/b> We recommend that you <b>prefer the following formats: JPG, PNG, GIF.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You can also use <b>an online image compressor, such as <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.img2go.com\/fr\/compresser-image\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>IMG2GO<\/b><\/a><b> which is free and easy to use!<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11491 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/flowragency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/imgtogo-compresseur-image-en-ligne.png\" alt=\"imgtogo online image compressor\" width=\"512\" height=\"237\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/flowragency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/imgtogo-compresseur-image-en-ligne.png 512w, https:\/\/flowragency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/imgtogo-compresseur-image-en-ligne-300x139.png 300w, https:\/\/flowragency.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/imgtogo-compresseur-image-en-ligne-18x8.png 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Finally,<b> don't neglect the alternative text (ALT) of your image! <\/b>This attribute allows you to write a brief description of your image and <b>maximize your chances of appearing in image search engine results<\/b>.
