How Google Helpful Content Updates Ensure SEO Success

Google began rolling out Helpful Content Updates on August 25th. This update is intended to filter websites that contain a lot of unsatisfactory and unhelpful content whose content is primarily written for search engines and not for humans.

Google wants to reward people who want to contribute useful content written for humans.

To ensure SEO success in a people-targeted manner, here are seven key takeaways from content updates that can help.

1. Keep your intention in mind when writing and don’t stray too far from the main topic.
2. Demonstrate real-life experience to demonstrate depth of knowledge.
3. Stick to one topic per page to maintain focus.
4. Provide sufficient answers to user questions.
5. Remember the overall reader experience, for example, include images and videos that can support your content.
6. Don’t pretend you have the answer without all the information. This not only undermines trust, but also provides an overwhelming user experience.
7. Make sure you are following the core update guidance.

Why add videos to your page?

If you want to capture your reader’s attention quickly and efficiently, you should consider using video within the content on your page. Research shows that he remembers 95% of messages when he sees them on video, compared to 10% when he reads them in text.

Google shows video thumbnails next to search results about 26% of the time, making users much more likely to click on your listing. Optimizing your video content not only increases your chances of appearing higher in the SERPs, but also allows you to share your video content across channels, build trust with your users, and drive greater ROI. I can do it.
