That's the #1 thing you're doing here, right? Trying get some Google love...

What if I told you there is a way to continue doing exactly what you're doing right now and see your posts go up to position 1?

Well, there is, and I'm going to share it with you today.

I'll keep this short and sweet, so pay attention!

What Google Wants

First, what does Google want?

Is it long form text? How many words? 2000? 5000?

Is it video? How long?

Is it backlinks? From whom?

Well, all of these are valid SEO tactics and should be considered, but then new Google animals come out to play and all these little tactics have different values, and your rankings drop.

So how do we enter Google's mysterious mind? By understanding its primary directive.

What Google really wants is to give its users the best experience ever!

Google actually wants to enter your mind and give you exactly what you want when you perform a search.

And how does Google know that?

By analyzing what happens every time you search for something.

Think about it, if you search for a keyword and click on the third result, Google will assume the first one wasn't the one you were looking for. Logically, next time, it will try to present the 3rd result as the first one.

Let's Break this Down

Click-through rate - This is a very important factor for Google, because as I mentioned before, the more people click on a result, the more likely it is to be the one you're looking for.

How can you improve your click-through rate?

Your Headline must drive the user to click.

Let me share a little trick with you, use Advanced Marketing Institute's Headline Analyzer to tweak all your headlines before publishing. Don't expect very high values though, its tough to get anything over 40, the best I got so far was just under 60 and I don't know how.

This headline - "The Evergreen SEO Hack You Need to Climb to Position 1 of Google" - scored 46.15%

Time on Page - If the user clicks and enters your article but instantly hits the back button, Google will assume that result is not valid and therefore lower the ranking for that result.

Which means that, even though you need people to click through to your website, as we've seen previously, you also need them to stay. The longer they stay, the more Google will reward you.

There are lots of little techniques to get someone to stay on your page longer, like introducing a video, but before trying to 'trick' people into staying, you need to ensure they actually belong, which means that you must deliver in your content what was promised in your headline.

What's the Hack Then?

Understanding your reader, or how the great Dan Kennedy puts it - you must enter your audience's thoughts.

What does this mean for you as an SEO focused blogger?

User intent!

If you manage to understand what the keyword you're using means in the user's mind, you can focus your content the right way.

What question is that person asking Google? If you can understand the question in the users mind you can structure your post to answer it.

That's user intent.

In the case of this article, I tried to structure it as an example in on itself (hopefully it works).

If you're reading this, you want to improve your Google rankings, so I promised you, through my headline "The Evergreen SEO Hack You Need to Climb to Position 1 of Google", which made you click to "check it out".

Next, I entered one of the questions in your mind - "I do all my SEO right, but I still don't have Google's position one, is there something else I should be doing?"

And I answered it - yes, there's something else you should be doing - and I kept you on the page and reading by telling you I would share that one thing you could do to give you the results you're looking for.

But I didn't just make you scroll to the end to find out (hopefully). I kept you engaged with important information that will help you implement this awesome hack.

And left the one "Evergreen Hack" to the end, making sure I delivered what I promised to the best of my knowledge.

I hope this was of value to you!

Have an amazing day and go out there giving your audience what they want, Google will reward you for that.

I understand about the good content, relevant and well written, I can do that but frequently my posts/pages are reviews so they dont get up to 1800 words... or should they? Does writing more content on reviews make them more relevant or annoy the reader? I know I will read a review to a certain level, where Ive either decided Im going to buy the product or Im not and Ill stop reading.

I like the headline idea, I havent ever used an analyser. I use Jaaxy to get keywords/phrases but thats it, so Im going to check my blog headlines through it and see where Im at ! Thanks

Hi Helen, I focus on the user over the number of words.

I think your main objective should always be to keep the user engaged and offer value.

If I'm not mistaken this post was around 800 words and it offered value (in my opinion), if I were to add more words I'd have to offer more value, maybe another tip or two or explanation about these ones.

My advice is, keep your reviews and other posts relevant and engaging, use curiosity to keep the user engaged.

Thanks for your comment!

Just as addition.... One of my headlines scored 50% but another scored 16% ! I need an analyser that will suggest better scoring headlines for me to use ! 😂

Great advice, thanks ! It sort of reinforces what I thought to be true, anyone can spot waffle and thats no good to keep google happy AND keep engagement of audience.

50 is a really good score Helen. With a few tweaks I'm sure you can boost the other one. Try emotional adjectives.

Great article, and I realized that I need to change the way I am writing articles,but I wonder if Google still considers 2000-5000 word articles are a must.

Steve said it, long content is preferable and one of the best SEO experts out there - Brian Dean - writes the longest content. Average 4000 words.

Hi Fran
Great post, thanks for the info, im now following you for more advice & tips. I think I'm doing ok with headlines & matching content. I have also bookmarked the Headline Analyzer.

Thanks and good luck

Louise

Thank you kindly Louise. It's my pleasure to share what I can.

Bit confused! So, is the headline the evergreen hack?

Thanks for your feedback Jon and Debbie and my apologies if I wasn't clear enough. That's why I love feedback.

The Evergreen Hack was entering your audience's mind, user intent.

If you manage to engage in the thoughts currently in your reader's mind, you can offer a solution for the problem they're having at that precise moment, which will easily improve both those metrics "click-through rate" and "bounce rate" or "time on page" to be more specific.

Then you structure the content in an engaging but problem-solving way.

Headline => Identifies a problem and offers to solve it easily, raises curiosity.

Introduction => Re-states the problem and eases the user saying that the solution will be offered.

Content => Explains why the problem exists and how to solve it.

Conclusion => Applies the solution (and offers the final tip) and shows the results.

I'm not sure this was clear, let me know and I'll try to explain further or with a different approach.

Thanks again guys.

Clear as crystal - thanks Fran

I didn't delete anything. To be honest with you, I never even know you could do that.

My pleasure.

Thank you Francisco for this very helpful post. Much appreciated.

You have given me a deeper understanding and I will surely be implementing this into my articles now.

Get into the mind of your readers and deliver what you mentioned in your heading/Titile.
