My 5-Step Process for Writing and Optimizing Your Content
Below is a step-by-step overview of how I optimize the content on your web page.
Step 1: Client Consultation

Whether I'm working for a digital marketing agency, content writing company, or directly with a client, I determine what they're looking for.
Even if the rules of SEO are the same, every company approaches them differently. So, it's important to consult the company what they're looking for and how to adapt my writing to meet their goals.
Here's what I'll cover during a consultation
Step 2: Client & Industry Research

Research is more than looking for a few high-ranking websites and scraping some bits here and there.
To optimize content, I need to know relevant industry keywords, trending topics, audience pain points, and industry-specific language.
Next, I need to dig into the client's brand. I look for taglines, registered slogans, phrases, and wording that sets the company apart from competitors.
I review the home page, service pages, main menu pages, and blogs on the website. I may take a quick look at their social media sites.
If I'm writing for an agency, I ask them about any details I need to know about the client.
Step 3: Keyword Research

I find and analyze the words people use when searching for your service or product online. It helps me understand what topics your audience cares about.
I look for popular search terms that match your content or services. The goal is to find words with good search volume and low competition.
Keywords guide your content, so it ranks higher in search results. Good keyword research helps your website or platform attract the right visitors.

Step 5: Content Creation

I write the content according to the client's specifications or agency's assignment briefs. I craft text that is clear, engaging, and useful. I focus on understanding the audience and their needs.
I write content that answers their questions, solves problems, or provides value. This could include blog posts, product descriptions, service pages, or FAQs. Each piece is tailored to fit the purpose of the page. I also use the right tone and style to match the brand's voice.
I make sure the content is optimized for search engines. I use keywords naturally, adding headings, and including internal and external links, as well as other SEO-related elements.
I keep the writing easy to read with short paragraphs and clear language. The goal is to create content that attracts, informs, and keeps visitors engaged.
