It does this by understanding why a searcher is looking for a particular topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To identify search intent, you&#8217;ll want to analyze the three C&#8217;s by looking at the top-ranking pages for your target keywords:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>content type- are they blog posts, landing pages or something else?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content format- Are they tutorials, how-to guides recipes?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Content angle- Is there a dominant selling point?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">2. <strong>Cover Important Subtopics Searches Want to See<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the top-ranking pages cover similar subtopics, they&#8217;re likely important and what searchers expect to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We can find these subtopics by looking at the common keywords the top-ranking pages rank for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>you can find them using programs like Ahrefs&#8217;, Hubspot or Google Keyword Planner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">3. <strong>Optimize for Featured Snippets<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Featured snippets are quick answers to search queries displayed at the top of the SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ranking for a featured snippet is a &#8220;shortcut&#8221; to the top of the SERPs, and it often has the bonus of driving more traffic to your site. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How do you optimize your content to be search-friendly?
