Hi everyone! In this video I'll share some tips for journalists on how to optimise their content for search engines.

Why SEO is important for Journalists

SEO is crucial for Journalists as it allows their articles to be easily found online. By optimising their content for search engines, journalists can ensure that their stories are read by a wider audience.

SEO strategy for Journalists

1. Make a list of topics your customers are interested in

This can be done by surveying your audience, looking at your website's analytics, or using keyword research tools like Google AdWords Keyword Planner or Google Trends.

2. Prioritize the topics on your list

You can prioritize your topics by looking at search volume (how many people are searching for a particular term), competition (how many other websites are trying to rank for that term), and relevance (how well the term aligns with your brand).

3. Write articles or create other content around the topics on your list

Make sure to include the keywords you're targeting in your headlines, meta descriptions, and throughout the body of your content.

4. Promote your content

Once your content is published, promote it through social media, email marketing, and other channels. You can also use Google AdWords to drive traffic to your articles.

What are people talking about in your field? What are the most popular topics? Make a list of these topics and consider writing about them.
