B2B SEO content teardowns with Grow and Convert

Benji and Devesh of Grow & Convert reviewed B2B SEO content pieces live. They reviewed seven content pieces, from blog posts to landing pages and help desk articles.

Here are a few details that stood out to us:

• Your content needs to stand out and be original. Instead of matching the content covered by SERP competitors verbatim, you should add “originality nuggets.”

• Use the SERPs to identify the searchers’ intent, then build your content around the intent. And allow the SERPs to decide the content type and structure.

• Blog posts allow you to dig into the nuance that answers the query thoroughly and gets the conversion. Landing page templates are often too rigid by design.

Grow & Convert is a fully done-for-you content marketing service focused on driving actual leads and revenue.

• Tangential content needs to be relevant to your target audience and industry.

How to group keywords and build topic clusters at scale with Jonas Sickler

Jonas Sickler of Terakeet gave an insightful presentation on "How to Group Keywords and Build Topic Clusters at Scale."

Our most significant takeaways from Jonas' presentation on Topic Clusters & Keyword Grouping were:

• Google is investing in topic comprehension with enhancements to their natural language understanding. Topic clusters are a great way to signal to Google and users that you have subject matter expertise for the topics you're writing about.

• Leverage relevant internal and external links from your topic cluster to subtopic pages. Internal links funnel link equity to related pages, and external links help back up claims you're making in your article. Don't cram your topic cluster full of links because that can be considered spam by Google and a poor digital experience.

• Manually inspecting the search engine results page (SERP) to understand the primary intents for a given keyword is the most accurate way to gauge which subtopics are essential. You can use marketing tools like Serpstat to group keywords at scale but beware of any tool that focuses too much of its keyword groupings on "common terms."

Jonas is a published author and SEO manager at Terakeet, where he writes about earning positive consumer attention through SEO and content strategy.
