Websites that have featured snippets share a few commonalities. You can check how each site weighs in by looking at the knowledge graph for each site. #seo #blog

tl;dr: e-a-t
1/4 website with featured snippet for a query
In this example, there are only 2 sites that are competing for the featured snippet for this query. There seems to be some detailed information about both.

The third site, which doesn't come up as a snippet, has almost no information about it.
2/4 knowledge graph for websitepoor knowledge graph for website
One of the easiest ways to improve this result for a site is to create a high-quality about-us page. You can read more about this here:

3/4
You can cycle sites that have featured snippets by omitting them from search results using -site: modifier. This will show you the second site in line, third site in line, etc.

Check out the knowledge graph for each site you'll see quickly why a site isn't considered.

I'll find keywords by accident because I'm often exploring new opportunities. I've always loved writing my thoughts in a notebook, so stationery seems like a worthwhile niche to pursue one day. #seo #blog

One keyword idea I wrote was "writing equipment"
here is what I found
1/8 ahrefs keyword report for writing equipment keyword
Doing this alone has opened the door to several micro-niches. "Adaptive writing equipment" is a niche that can stand on its own two feet. The products don't look like they're worth much, but it's interesting enough.

Let's look at expired domains.
2/8 adaptive writing equipment
I entered the word "adaptive" to see what comes up. Clearly, this niche has been scoped out and people see some value in it. If you look near the bottom, there is a great .com domain name that isn't taken, adaptivechild.
Let's pop it into ahrefs to see if it's any good.

One of my first "SEO learner" sites has 120+ articles in a broad niche. These articles cover all kinds of topics in the niche, but nothing specific. #seo #blog

I just did a content audit for this site and found that these articles are covering 10+ sub-niches.

Don't do this.
So, how can I fix it?

First is the content audit. Get every article into a spreadsheet. Include page titles if it helps. Map out every topic you cover and sort them into clusters (or buckets, whatever helps you to visualize).
Each topic (or bucket) is essentially the sub-niche for the niche site. Write down all the sub-niches. Pick one to be the focus.

All content for this site is now about this sub-niche and links to all other articles in this sub-niche.

Taking keywords from "not ranking" to "page one ranking" in one shot is possible. I did this for a client last month with a few simple tricks. #seo #ecommerce
1/5 getting page 1 ranking in t...
First, I made sure the new vendor had its own collection page.

It's much cleaner to have a URL that reads:

"/collections/vendor-name"

than to have:

"?/q=vendor-name"

This also allows you to set a title and description.
2/5
I created an article that introduces the vendor: "We now sell vendor-name products!".

Introduce that vendor and why they're great. Link to the vendor page that was just created. List each product, write a short description, and link to the product pages individually.
