Yoast’s Readability Score + Focus Keyword Factors: How Much Should You Pay Attention to Them?

by Ray Cheselka @ webFEAT Complete

Tue Jul 25 13:02:43 PDT 2017

If you’re new to Yoast’s SEO plugin within WordPress, you may be wondering, “Do the Yoast readability and focus keyword scores make a difference in the success of my page?” Well, there are a couple of ways you can look at that question. If you mean, “do they have a direct impact on my rankings,” the answer is no. If you mean, “do they use best practices as guidelines that, when followed, can improve your rankings,” the answer is yes. As an SEO, it’s easy to get in the habit of following these guidelines without giving them much thought, but if you’re a business owner or marketing manager who is unfamiliar with most SEO practices, you may have to do some research. Fortunately, all of the research you need to do is in this blog post! Disclaimer: just because you follow the Yoast Readability and Focus Keyword guidelines on all pages/posts of your website does not mean that you will rank well. There are many, many other factors influencing rankings that someone who isn’t an SEO might not be aware of. However, by following their guidelines, you’ll probably have an advantage over a few competitors who aren’t doing any SEO […]

UX Writing and Effective Website Content

by Hanna Roberts-Williams @ webFEAT Complete

Fri Sep 22 15:47:41 PDT 2017

Conversion reigns as the supreme ROI of SEO. It’s the biggest goal we have as content strategists and SEO gurus: present relevant content to a collection of users, who are looking for a specific answer, and convince them that they’ve found the product or service that will solve their problem. See the problem. Show the solution. Make the sale. Converting internet users from mere audience members to your potential customers is difficult to say the least. Not only are there multiple websites and companies targeting your users, but there’s also a time limit. Attention fades. And quickly. Because of this, your content must do more than just look pretty.  It must inform. It must engage. It must strike a balance between the two authorities of content: who is speaking and who is reading. With the short amount of time we, as writers, have to maintain a complete connection with our audience, we can’t afford to waste a moment on information that misrepresents our intent. Creating a profitable website is all about the way you frame your content. And the best way to frame your content is by reassessing its effectiveness from a UX (user experience) perspective. So let’s get started. […]

How to Do SEO for Specialized Industries

by K. Smith @ webFEAT Complete

Fri Oct 13 13:14:52 PDT 2017

There has never been a better time to be in SEO. Gone are the days of spammy tactics like keyword stuffing and link farming. SEO now focuses on good user experience and creating content that users enjoy consuming. Now, there are more amazing resources for learning SEO than there ever have been. However, much of the advice out there tends to be overly general. In most cases, that isn’t a problem. However, there are some times when certain advice works better for some industries than others. At webFEAT, we’ve noticed that the industrial sector in particular has some nuances that conventional SEO wisdom typically overlooks. We’ve come up with ways to bridge this gap and to ensure that our SEO services work wonders for all companies; even those that find themselves discouraged by typical SEO tactics. An SEO Refresher There are two things that Google cares about more than any others when ranking sites: website content and the number of backlinks. Google determines a site’s relevance to the search query by intelligently assessing the website’s content and appraising the number (and type) of sites that link to it. To achieve good content and relevant backlinks, most websites turn to blogging. […]
