I have just watched Wix Studio’s latest webinar on how to optimise content after Google’s helpful content update, here’s the takeaways 👋🏻


Text on a pink background: "How to Optimise Content After Google’s HCU" in red and white, with "SEO Updates" and "AST & Partners" in small red text.

1.Start with this Checklist to Optimise Content:


  • create an “About Us” page if you don’t have one already and add awards, speak about your years of expertise (no matter how many)

  • add social media links to your website and to your structured data (SEO advanced)

  • include a section with reviews on your website (extra points if you have videos)

  • don’t write any content, focus on your expertise and give useful information

  • create pillar pages around your seed topics

  • PR yourself as much as possible and get backlinks



2.SEO Content Tips Post HCU:


  • write better content for your users (do your research on what are they looking for and give it to them)

  • identify topics based on your audience (don’t focus on volume or trends, even though this is important)

  • don’t be afraid to use internal linking, it’s the best way to guide the user journey

  • optimise your “about” pages (think social media, websites)

  • learn how to prioritise your content (40% new content and 60% updating old content)


3.Key Takeaways:


  • user-centric approach (understand and address user intent)

  • demonstrate expertise, experience, authority and trustworthiness

  • stand out by offering fresh angles on topics (use your experience in the field)

  • don’t neglect your website (regularly audit and update content to stay relevant)


Let me know if you found the information to be useful. I will write more content such as:


  • Is Blog essential for a business?

  • How do you check what people are searching for?

  • Is Google trying to reward those that are putting forth the most effort on their websites?

  • What is the correct way to write the keywords and add alt text in each image?
