Introduction
Hey there, guys and girls! In today's video, I'll be sharing a full SEO master class with you. I'll teach you how to write engaging, SEO-optimized blog posts and articles that can rank on Google using AI. Let's dive right in!
Keyword Research
Finding a Suitable Keyword
When starting to write SEO-optimized content, the first step is to find a suitable keyword to target. There are a few ways to approach keyword research. If you're new to a niche, you can search for a target keyword, such as "fishing." To generate informative blog post topics related to the keyword, include the phrase "how to." This way, Ahrefs will find keywords like "how to tie a fishing knot" or "how to string a fishing pole." To filter the results based on difficulty, specify a maximum difficulty level, such as 10.
Using Ahrefs to Find Informative Blog Post Topics
Using Ahrefs, you can easily find informative blog post topics related to your target keyword. By including the phrase "how to," Ahrefs will generate keywords that combine the target keyword with the specific phrase. For example, "how to tie two fishing lines together" has a keyword difficulty of four and a search volume of 1.1K. It's a popular search in the United States, Canada, and the UK.
Filtering Keywords Based on Difficulty
To narrow down your options, you can filter the generated keywords based on their difficulty. Choosing keywords with a lower difficulty allows you to rank more easily. Review the list of long-tail keywords and select the most suitable ones for your website in the fishing niche.
Priming the AI
Teaching the AI Your Expertise
To get the most out of the AI, it's important to prime it with specific instructions. Let the AI know that you are an expert blog post writer specializing in high-quality, engaging, SEO-optimized content. Provide the AI with a set of SEO tips, including optimizing the title, meta tags, and internal links, as well as including keywords throughout the article.
Optimizing Title and Meta Tags
By instructing the AI to optimize the title and meta tags, you ensure that these elements contain relevant keywords. This helps search engines understand the content of your article and rank it higher for the target keyword.
Including Keywords Throughout the Article
Instruct the AI to include the target keyword and its variations naturally throughout the article. By incorporating these keywords in headings (H1, H2, H3) and throughout the body, you increase the article's relevance and SEO optimization.
Creating an SEO-Optimized Outline and Internal Links
Ask the AI to create an SEO-optimized outline for your article. This outline should include headings and subheadings, as well as internal links to related content within your website. Including internal links enhances the user experience and helps search engines understand the structure of your website.
Optimizing for Featured Snippets
To increase the visibility of your article in search engine results, instruct the AI to optimize the content for featured snippets. Featured snippets are short, concise answers to specific search queries that appear at the top of search results.
Manual Outlines from Top Ranked Blog Posts
In addition to AI-generated outlines, it's beneficial to extract outlines from top-ranked blog posts. This manual approach ensures that your outline includes all important topics mentioned by competitors. By using tools like Harpa AI, you can extract main headlines from these blog posts and combine them with the AI-generated outline for a comprehensive SEO-optimized outline.
Content Optimization with Neural Writer
To further optimize your content, utilize tools like Neural Writer. This content optimization tool extracts information from the top-ranked blog posts to enhance your outline. Neuron Writer allows you to select and include relevant information from these outlines while building your own outline for the article. Combining AI-generated outlines with manually extracted ones ensures a well-rounded and highly optimized outline.
Writing the Full Article
Now that you have a comprehensive outline, it's time to write the full article. Using Chat GPT, instruct the AI to write an in-depth, easy-to-read article based on the outline above. You can include lists, bullet points, tables, and other formatting features when applicable. Remember to write in simple, conversational language and keep your target keyword and its variations naturally integrated throughout the article.
Adding the Table of Contents
To enhance the user experience and make the article more reader-friendly, include a table of contents at the beginning of the article. This helps readers navigate through the content and jump to specific sections they find most relevant.
Formatting the Article in Markdown Language
To ensure proper formatting, write the article in Markdown language. Markdown allows you to apply formatting elements like headings (H1, H2, H3), bold text, italics, and bullet points. This makes the article more visually appealing and well-structured.
Lengthening the Article with Chat GPT 3.5 Turbo
If the initial article generated by Chat GPT seems too short or lacks the desired depth, you can use Chat GPT 3.5 Turbo to expand the content further. By instructing the AI to keep the same format, style, and optimization, you can request the addition of more relevant information, tips, examples, and details related to the blog post topic.
Converting HTML to Text Format
As the article was generated in HTML format, it's necessary to convert it to a text format for further analysis. Once converted, evaluate the article's word count, readability, and overall flow to gauge its effectiveness.
Content Optimization Score with Neural Writer
Once the article is ready, use Neural Writer to analyze its content optimization score. Aim for a high score to ensure your article is well-optimized for search engines. By following the AI-based optimization techniques described earlier, you should achieve a higher score than the average and outperform the top-ranked blog posts.
Conclusion
Incorporating AI into your blog writing techniques can greatly enhance your ability to create SEO-optimized content. By following the step-by-step process outlined in this master class, you can produce engaging blog posts and articles that have a higher chance of ranking on Google. Remember to utilize AI tools for keyword research, content generation, and optimization to maximize your SEO efforts.
