Hey šŸ‘‹

Iā€™m Erica, the Head of Content at @getgrizzle, a content marketing agency.

I'm taking over SEMrush's account to talk quality content.

-Why it matters in SEO strategies
-How to scale it

Learn how to make your content rank & convert:

@ericasmyname #SEOThread
Quality content builds trust, traffic, & conversions.

āš”ļøIt's:

-Intent-driven
-Authoritative
-Empowering
-Educational
-Memorable
-Interesting
-Engaging
-Targeted
-Detailed
-Helpful
-Unique

šŸ›‘ It's NOT:

-Regurgitated, fluffy, lazy, boring, & unhelpful.

@ericasmyname #SEOThread
Relevant content is more likely to resonate with your audience.

This leads to more:

-Clicks
-Engagement
-Backlinks

Which positively impacts rankings, authority, awareness, & revenue.

Low-quality content might rank but won't convert as successfully.

SEOā€™s make recommendations 100% of the time. But according to a recent Ttwitter poll, they only get implemented around 30-40% of the time. šŸ˜±So what gives? Why is implementation such a blocker šŸ›‘ and how can you overcome it?

#SEOthread @JohnMorabitoSEO
Letā€™s start with the top reasons your recommendations sit in a dev queue.

āœ…Lack of understanding of the why and how
āœ…Lack of senior-level buy-in
āœ…Not tied to OKRs or KPIs
āœ…Not properly prioritized
āœ…Simply not possible

Each can be overcome.
#seothread @JohnMorabitoSEO
Lack of understanding of the why and how behind an SEO recommendation is a sure fire way to not get anything done. šŸ˜• Make sure the team you are asking for help understands exactly what they need to do, and WHY you are asking them to do it. šŸ’¬

Hey there, Iā€™m Nikki Halliwell, a freelance technical SEO Consultant and Tech SEO Specialist at @JourneyFurther.
As a lover of website audits, I wanted to share 7 steps to help you create more than just a boilerplate audit.
#SEOThread @NikkiRHalliwell Image
1. Gather Basic Website Information

Thereā€™s no point in doing an audit if you donā€™t know why youā€™re doing it. Get information from the client & click through the site like a user trying to convert; itā€™s important you understand their frustrations.

#SEOThread @NikkiRHalliwell
2. Gather Your Data
Spend time analyzing GSC and GA for trends or issues. Remember to also use Semrush to gather visibility and keyword data. Youā€™ll need all of this when you get into the audit.

In the last 4 years, Iā€™ve written over 200 articles for 15+ clients (including Hubspot, Hotjar, and Databox).

Only 4 needed edits I couldnā€™t make from my phone.

Steal my LEMA framework for crispā€“clear content that editors (and users) will love šŸ§µ

#SEOThread @lilyugbaja Image
L for Logical

Unrestrained, you could write 4k words about tomatoes.
šŸ”øWhether theyā€™re fruit or vegetable
šŸ”øTheir color
šŸ”øOriginā€¦

Logic is what restricts your scope so that youā€™re only writing what your audience needs to read ā€” in the order they need to read it
#SEOThread
When you make a point, whatā€™s the next logical question that point raises?

Logic answers the questions what, who, where, when, why, howā€¦depending on context.

Ex:

Statement: You should read books.
Q: Why? Because X benefit.
Q: How (do books give you X benefit)?

4 Ways to Determine Backlink Quality:

Having dealt with countless DMs trying to sell me #backlinks, I can now say:

All backlinks arenā€™t made equal.

As with many things in #SEO

Quality > quantity

#SEOthread @adrianakstein
So what actually makes a quality backlink? Here are a few methods for determining this:

#SEOthread @adrianakstein
Method 1: Avoid Paid Backlinks

I want to make it absolutely clear that you should NEVER buy backlinks!

If someone is offering that to you, RUN for the hills!

Not to mention that itā€™s actually against Google guidelines.

You've identified a promising keyword.

Now what? šŸ¤·šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø

Whether you'll tackle the content yourself or pass the torch to a writer, an SEO content brief will come in handy.

How? And what should it include beyond keywords?

The answers lie in this #SEOThread by yours truly.
1. AUDIENCE SEGMENT

Some briefs have short, unhelpful descriptions. E.g.
"for design teams."

Others reuse broad descriptions for every piece, resulting in too-broad content.

Specify the audience segment each piece is for and what they need from it.

@optimized3x #SEOThread
2. CUSTOMER JOURNEY STAGE

True, the traditional customer journey is getting rarer. But give an approximation of the stage the top audience segment is at.

It can dramatically affect how a piece is written and whether or not it satisfies the audience.

Hey, hey, heyā€¦ @billiegeena here

Iā€™m the learning and development manager at @salt_agency, and Iā€™m here to talk to you about how I do keyword research that converts.

So, letā€™s crack on!

#SEOThread
Iā€™m not going to talk about getting data, instead, I will show you how I finalise keywords. First, I break down a site into its different intent categories and priority levels i.e. Navigation = Primary, Category = Primary, Local Page = Supporting

@billiegeena #SEOThread
I then use this data to go further to work out the intent of the users and decide where they might be in the sales funnel. Typically this looks like ā€œseeking knowledgeā€, ā€œseeking clarityā€ and ā€œSeeking a serviceā€.

āœØ You Need To Be Patient āœØ

ā€œHow long does it take to see results?ā€ is a common question when you're just starting out

Today, Iā€™m teaching you about Featured Snippets and how you can increase your chance of ranking for themšŸ˜Ž@dana_nic0le #SEOthread Image

Hello SEO friends! šŸ‘‹ I'm AlizĆ©e, a freelance SEO consultant with a passion for specialty coffee and knitting.
I'll be taking over the #SEOthread today to talk about using #searchintent to optimise product pages šŸ¤“
So get cozy, grab a notepad, and read on! šŸ˜‰ā†“ @AlizeeBaudez Image
First things first, search intent is the purpose of a userā€™s search.

There are 4 type of search intent:
ā†’ Navigational = find something or a website
ā†’ Informational = research
ā†’ Commercial = compare options
ā†’ Transactional = buy, complete an action

#SEOthread @AlizeeBaudez Image
Do you notice how information, commercial and transactional search intent coincide with the buyer's journey?

You want your website's content to take the user through each step of the journey.

Ex: blog posts, homepage information, product details, etc.

OMG, Yā€™ALL - Iā€™m Greg Gifford, VP of Search at @searchlabagency, I speak at tons of conferences, and Iā€™ve got a bunch of classes at @semrushacademy - and I'm taking over the #SEOthread - And today, weā€™re gonna chat about Google Business Profiles!
First of all, yeah - it's the worst rebrand ever. We're probably all going to keep calling it "Google My Business" and "GMB" for another year or two (and did no one at Google realize how confusing ā€œGBPā€ would be in the UK?

#SEOthread @greggifford
But it's not just a name change - you can now edit your profile directly in search results (you don't have to log into the dashboard)

(and no, the dashboard isn't going away - you can still use it if you prefer)

Hi, I'm Katherine, and I'm doing a Semrush Twitter takeover today on all things #Crawl Depth.

Follow this thread to learn:
ā–ŖļøŽ What does crawl depth mean
ā–ŖļøŽ Why it's important and
ā–ŖļøŽ How to improve crawl depth on your website
@Ka3rne #SEOthread
Crawl/click depth refers to the number of links it takes to reach a page from your homepage.
From the starting point, your homepage is ground 0. Pages linking from the homepage have a depth of 1. Other pages linking from the "1" pages have a depth of 2& so on. @Ka3rne #SEOthread
So, Why Is Crawl Depth Important?

User Experience
Let's say a first-time visitor lands on your homepage looking for SHOES.

If they have to dig through several links to find that category, there are chances they'd get frustrated and even abandon your site.

Hi šŸ‘‹, I'm Bernard Huang, co-founder @Clearscope, the leading SEO content optimization tool.

In todayā€™s @SEMRushā€™s #SEOThread, I want to open your eyes to the future of SEO content.

And give you a framework on how to win more rankings with less frustration. @bernardjhuang
Once upon a time, we lived in a Google algo where longer content meant better rankings.

@Backlinko named this "The Skyscraper Technique" and a new era of one-upmanship was born among SEOs.

Competitor uses 1k words? Let's raise the ante to 2k words. @bernardjhuang #SEOthread
And for a period of time "The Skyscraper Technique" worked like a charm.

But Google wasn't satisfied just yet with their SERPs, so they continued improving how their algorithm worked.

And introduced two massive updates via Hummingbird & Rankbrain.

Have a story. A good narrative is essentially a concise story that clients and key stakeholders can takeaway with full confidence. In order to build that story, you want to combine performance, activity, opportunity and wider market trends. @danielcliddle #SEOthread
With reporting commentary, always think of SIA. Statistics - a summarised metric. Insight - What this means. Action - What youā€™re going to do about it. @danielcliddle #SEOthread

We are all brilliant in identifying issues and creating audits; I truly believe as SEOs we are able to take a website to the next level. But, how can we get our recommendations implemented? A šŸ§µ by @Kevin_Ellen_ #SEOthread Image
One of the crucial parts of getting things implemented is knowing who holds the keys to the website. Often this is not marketing, but closer to the product/development team! Which means relationships outside the marketing team will have to be created. @Kevin_Ellen_ #SEOthread
Throughout my experience I have seen many marketing teams struggle with this step; as it can be hard to effectively communicate with development teams. This is no one's fault, because the roles are different. There are ways we as SEOs can help with this. @Kevin_Ellen_ #SEOthread

SEO for news is complex. But your homepage is a secret to ranking.

šŸ§µSEO is Hard šŸ§µ

I think a lot, if not all, of us who work in SEO understand this, but what can make it harder is when you're down MoM or YoY compared to where you were.

You feel like a failure, but I'm here to tell you that is not the case.

Let me explain in this thread...
1āƒ£ People May Be Searching Less 1āƒ£

This is the case for us. As an SEO who works in ecommerce, organic growth and revenue growth matters.

When you're down in traffic and revenue, just have a look at keyword planner.. You may find people are just searching less.

That's okay!
The cost of living is higher, inflation is becoming a HUGE issue, people have re-evaluated where they're spending for 2022 compared to 2021.

If you're down, take a look at Google Keyword Planner. You may find searches are down for your key terms.

It's natural and it happens.

I'm Joe Hall, SEO Consultant at HallAnalysis.com. Most of my work over the years has been focused on Advanced Technical SEO Audits.

SEO Audits are pointless if they aren't implemented. Therefore, here are 4 Strategies to Get SEO Audits Implemented

@joehall #SEOThread
Often it seems as if getting your client to do what you say is impossible. Many times audits are never fully implemented or ignored completely.

We fix this with 4 strategies: Target HIPPOs, Audit Structure, Delivery Schedule, Embedded Project Management
@joehall #SEOThread
1: TARGET HIPPOs: The Highest Paid Person's Opinion is typically what decides which direction a team moves in. If your audit isn't appealing to the HIPPOs of an organization it likely won't get off the ground.

"Sure, Google is fantastic at gleaning the meaning of our content, but with language, there's significant room for interpretation and error.

The world of Schema.org has a set of rules and meanings so that our data points do not risk being misunderstood. (/2)"
