Why is content optimisation important?

Optimising content on a website based on WordPress is key to the success of any marketing strategy. Properly optimised content helps not only to better position the website in Google search results, but also to attract and engage visitors. In Poznań, more and more companies are choosing to use this strategy to avoid falling behind the competition.

Key elements of content optimisation

Optimisation of blog content WordPress requires attention to several important aspects:

• Keywords - Choosing the right keywords that are related to your site's subject matter is at the heart of any optimisation.
• Content structure - Correct text structure, the use of H1, H2, H3 headings and paragraphs not only affects SEO, but also the readability of the content.
• Comparison with competitors - Competitor analysis allows you to understand what content attracts the most attention from users.
• Image optimisation - File names, ALT attributes and image compression significantly affect a page's loading speed and search engine ranking.
• Internal Linking - Internal linking not only helps with site navigation, but also with the distribution of SEO value throughout the site.

Creating effective titles and meta descriptions

One of the most important aspects of optimising content on the platform WordPress is to create attractive titles and meta descriptions. These elements are the first contact a user has with your website on a search engine results page. So you need to ensure that they are attractive and contain key information.

Examples of the characteristics of an effective title:

• A clear and concise message, including the key word.
• An attraction for the user that will encourage them to click.
• Length up to a maximum of 60 characters.

Good meta descriptions should:

• Include a brief description of the content of the page.
• Incentivise action, e.g. through wording such as 'Find out more'.
• Be between 150-160 characters.

Visual content and its optimisation

Images and other multimedia elements on the page should not be forgotten. Visual content optimisation includes:

• Compression of images without loss of quality, which speeds up page loading.
• Adding relevant ALT attributes to all images.
• Use of appropriate file formats, e.g. WebP for images on WordPress sites.

How do you monitor the effects of optimisation?

Regular monitoring of the effects of content optimisation is key to success. Use tools such as Google Analytics and Google Search Console to keep track:

• Number of visits and sources of traffic to the site.
• Acquisition of new users and their behaviour on the site.
• Average time spent on page and rejection rates.
• Conversions gained, which can demonstrate the effectiveness of the strategy.
