1. Refresh your content
In SEO, having a decent ‘fresh’ rating doesn’t mean you’ve got a cool new pair of sneakers you want to show off. It’s the practice of updating your content, adding little tweaks to make sure it remains relevant.
A good starting point would be to use Google Analytics to identify your top 10 ranking pieces of organic content, and see what contextual changes you can make so they remain pertinent. But be aware of making too many changes, you don’t want to destroy the very thing that made them so popular in the first place.
2. Start internal linking to your other webpages
Google absolutely loves internal linking (the act of linking your audience to other areas of your website). The longer a user stays on your website, the more valuable Google will deem your content to be and, therefore, will rank your pages higher on search results.
Also consider linking new pieces of content to some of your high-ranking organic stalwarts. This proverbial ‘sharing of the search value love’ will bestow your newly-created piece of content with an early boost in ratings before its even begun to generate search value of its own.
As an added bonus, by adding reciprocal links between your new and old content, you’ll also be ticking the ‘freshness’ technique mentioned in tip number one.
3. Fix your headlines and subheads
You’d be staggered at how many articles across the web consist of just a headline and then 700 words of block text. Google finds it much easier to analyse headlines and subheads than the main body of an article, so make sure they’re on-point and hitting all your keywords.
A good SEO headline should always satisfy two criteria: clarity and curiosity.
