SEO Content Writing Made Easy
If you’ve ever engaged an SEO copywriting agency or consultant, you’ll know that readability often takes a back seat to SEO.
You’ll scan an almost unreadable bit of text where they’ve shoehorned in all of your keywords in such a way that you couldn’t (in good conscience, at least) serve this up to your customers and expect them to engage with your brand.
It’s extremely common. SEO web copywriting is consistently seen as the less-creative counterpart to traditional copywriting. Devoid of any personality in an endless pursuit of keyword usage and title-tag optimisation.
SEO copywriting services don’t need to be an exercise in keyword density. Search engines are more sophisticated than ever, which means that overtly using your exact keyword 12-15 times in your article or landing page isn’t necessarily helpful. Google (and other search engines) understand context. They don’t need you to repeat the same search terms at nauseam.
In 2024, writing great SEO web copy starts with the reader. So much so that Google has even updated their official documentation to reflect that.
What is SEO Copywriting?
SEO copywriting combines content writing and SEO best practices to ensure that content appeals to both search engines and humans.
SEO copywriting pairs SEO best practices like keyword research, keyword usage, and on-page optimisation to ensure that content ranks in search engines for the right search terms.
SEO content writing isn’t about keyword density or keyword stuffing – those days are long gone. Today, SEO copywriting is about writing valuable content that users can easily find in search engines by taking a measured approach that considers on-page search engine optimisation best practices.

Assessing your content for quality
Ever wondered what separates the top performing websites from the page 2 dwellers in Google? It’s not as complicated as it seems. In fact, Google updated their official documentation titled “Creating helpful, reliable, people-first content” last year with explicit instructions for content self-assessment.
In the aptly titled doc “Creating helpful, reliable, people-first content”, Google provided copywriters with a list of questions that they could use to self-assess content to ensure that it meets content quality best practices.
