There are quite a few things to keep in mind when <\/span>optimizing your website for search engines<\/span><\/a>. There are, of course, the basics: producing helpful and relevant content and a user-friendly design. In short, an overall outstanding user experience (UX). However, there are also other contributors to getting great search engine results pages (SERP) rankings. Long-form content is one of those.<\/span><\/p>\n

Various studies<\/span><\/a> have looked at the relationship between content length and search engine results pages (SERP) rankings. And, the conclusion seems to be that long-form content does perform better. But, while there is clear evidence showing that longer is better, the exact reasons behind such a trend are still vague.<\/span><\/p>\n

One possible explanation could be that long-form content is better optimized. Another, that it\u2019s more likely to earn links. Finally, page dwell time also plays a role. All this shows that investing in the production of long-form articles really does pay off.<\/span><\/p>\n

So what does this mean for brands? Is there an exact number of words you should target? Well, there\u2019s no consensus about that. But you can expect to fare well with word counts that range<\/span> from 2,000 to 2,500<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, keep in mind that not all long-form content is good content that will help you rank better. If you want to secure the top positions on SERPs, you\u2019ll need to create something that generates backlinks<\/a> and social shares. Furthermore, you\u2019ll want to ensure that what you publish truly is helpful and valuable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, are you ready to roll up your sleeves? If the answer is yes, these are the top tips on using long-form content to boost your rankings.<\/span><\/p>\n
