Rank Content on Google and See Your Traffic & Sales Increase
You might assume it takes months to rank content, especially in a competitive industry. The experts suggest you cannot rank without a gazillion backlinks and high domain authority. That, however, is untrue. With the right SEO content strategy, you can dominate the SERPs (search engine results pages)
With the right keywords and well-written SEO content, it’s surprising how quickly you can rank.
I completely changed my focus on Wolfheart a month or so ago. It was my SEO writing website for clients for three years. As I am moving away from client work into digital marketing, I deleted all my content and started again.
Within two weeks, several of my articles ranked as snippets (the disadvantages of faceless marketing) and some on the first page (building a faceless brand). I haven’t worked on my site properly with SEO for a long time, but I know how to write SEO content and the types of keywords and keyword phrases to use.
SEO Is Easy When You Know How
If you don’t have experience in SEO writing, consider using an AI SEO writer. I recommend SEO Writing, which has a free aspect. You can write 5,000 words per month. It’s also low cost if you upgrade to the paid version.
The trick is to find low-hanging fruit and low-difficulty keywords and then write content that helps the reader specifically. Gone are the days when you could write purely to try and rank on SERPs.
After the Google Helpful content update on the 14th of September, 2023, many websites tanked, including this one. Small bloggers really suffered.
Some users reported traffic dropping by 80%. That’s only a problem if you don’t know what to do. Or, you have thousands of search engine-targeted pages rather than user-centric content.
I recommend reading the Google Helpful content guidelines to understand what you should and shouldn’t be doing if you want your pages to rank.
Tip #1: Write SEO Content
I studied SEO in 2020, by taking a few free courses, such as Hubspot’s FREE SEO certificated course. It won’t teach you everything about being a writer, but it’s a good start to understanding SEO. I earned a good income as an SEO writer before I began transitioning to digital marketing.
SEO writing is about finding keywords and phrases that are likely to rank. If you have no domain authority (DA) you need to target low difficulty keywords. I’ll write about that soon, I promise.
If the thought of writing SEO content makes you want to stick pins in your eyes, you could consider an AI SEO writing tool. Some of them aren’t great and sound robotic. The SEO writing software is pretty good. With the free version, you get 5,000 words and up to 5 articles. It’s one of the lowest proced AI writers at only $14 a month for up to 50 articles with unlimited words. That would save you a truckload of time.
Tip #2: Using ChatGPT for Final Drafts
If you’re not a writer and are unsure if your content is good enough for publishing, you can use ChatGPT to tighten up the content for SEO.
When you’ve finished writing the content, post it in ChatGPT and use a prompt similar to the one below:
” Is this page properly optimised for the search term [xxx]? Does it include enough semantically related terms to be thorough? If so, just tell me it’s good. If not, add more so it is fully optimised, but ensure it reads naturally and makes perfect sense. Use bold text on all new content and keywords you add. Here’s the content…”
After that, use the prompt.
“Let’s add an extra keyword-rich section at the bottom. Make it benefit-driven and read naturally”
And, finally…
“Is the new page with the changes and extra section now fully optimised for the term [keyword phrase], and are there any other secondary keywords I can add?”
Succeeding with SEO is not about working harder. It’s about working smarter.
Tip #3: Use Pinterest As a Search Engine
If you don’t know it yet, Pinterest is a powerful search engine. It is not a social media platform like the others. I’m gaining significant traction for my digital marketing business and traffic to my website. Within a couple of months I am up to 5k monthly views and I’m now ramping up my efforts after taking a Pinterest SEO course.

My website had 44 clicks in 3 months – quite a poor result. See what happened next after taking a Pinterest SEO course
It can be tricky to know where to start with Pinterest. Check my post about the Best Pinterest courses because there is a link to a free Pinterest strategy guide, which got me started on improving my pin strategy.
Having just got the notification from Google Console that my site had 30 clicks in 28 days, I am super excited for my Pinterest strategy.
Out of 44 clicks in 3 months, 30 were in the last 28 days. That growth has indisputedly happened through my Pinterest efforts. These results happened after I applied the teachings from a Pinterest SEO course that cost me $33! If these results happen in 30 days, what will it be like in 6 months as I drive traffic to my digital marketing business, affiliate offers and my website?
Don’t miss out on Pinterest. I repeat, it is a potential goldmine.
Continually work on your SEO for your website and the social media descriptions you write. It pays off in the end.
