Yeah, the thing about writing is that there's so many different styles and applications for it. You can have technical writing, Novel writing and brochure writing for example.
Technical writing seems like it would be great for doing the kind of article writing that we are doing. Why do I say this? Mostly because technical writing has all the elements involved to catch those long tail keywords.
Novel writing for this type of stuff, in my opinion is not so great. While your busy using story telling words, the fact is, I think it will reduce the amount of technical details that people really search for in turn lowering your keyword relevancy.
Brochure writing I think would match our style a bit better than novel writing. Brochure writing definitely is meant to capture the eye using key terms and leaving out a lot of filler.
In conclusion, there are many types of writing styles. I believe that such areas as technical writing and brochure writing will be the best match for having successful articles in SEO.
~ lol sorry, I couldn't resist.
But yeah, its not only a formula, its tying in different aspects of what you are trying to say. You really have to be good at getting a full picture in your head with the data that you do have.
A strong understanding is needed on human behavior as well, to craft your writing to the user etc.
But yeah, Its not for everyone.
EDIT: Knowing when to insert LSI is important, thats a skill in itself.
