- Quality Content:
The most important thing for Google indexing is quality content. Why should Google index your article? You need to fulfill this condition first. How is your content helping users? Have you added anything new? Is there any new study published on your topic? What questions are users asking in the top-ranking article's comment section? What discussions are happening in forums related to your topic? Add these things to your article.
If you write content using AI, are you adding a human touch? AI can do 60-70% of the work, but you have to complete the rest. If it is a low-competition keyword, a little human touch is enough. But for high-competition, you need to put in more effort.
If possible, add your own story or case study to the article.
- Proper Site Structure:
Design your website properly. Create proper categories and subcategories. Google should find your content within 3 clicks. If Google can find your content easily, Google bots can crawl your site faster.
You can check authoritative sites in your niche to get ideas on how to structure your site.
- Topical Authority:
Focus on one topic at a time before moving to another. If you write about different topics randomly, Google will get confused about your website’s main theme.
When covering a topic, always use proper internal linking to relevant articles.
Do not leave any article "orphan" (without any internal link). Always link it to another article on your site.
- Backlinks:
Google says backlinks are not important, but in reality, they are very important.
In the first 2 months, build foundational links. Then, try to get high-authority backlinks from relevant websites.
Whether free, paid, or link exchange, try to get 10-15 high-quality backlinks in the first 6 months.
Media-rich content is always liked by Google.
Where relevant, try to add media like audio, video, or images (or all three if possible).
It can be AI-generated or your own, but make sure it is a unique media.
