How to edit website content for SEO
Start by checking whether the page answers the question that brought the reader there. Make the answer easier to find, support it with useful evidence and remove repetition before making technical changes.
Clarify the answer and the page structure
Use a clear main heading, then organise the explanation into sections with meaningful subheadings. Put the main answer near the start and use the language people use when they ask the question. Natural wording is more useful than aiming for a fixed keyword density.
Write a useful title and description
Give the page a concise, distinct title and a description that reflects what a reader will find. Search results can draw their snippets from the page text. Write the introduction so it works as a clear summary in its own right.
Improve images, links and the mobile experience
Use appropriately sized images and describe informative images with useful alternative text. Link to the next relevant page with text that describes its destination. Test on a narrow screen and use loading speed, responsiveness and visual stability as checks when deciding what to fix.
Protect existing paths and measure the revision
Keep a working URL when its address already serves the page. If a move is needed, plan a redirect and update internal links. Record the changes and use Search Console to compare relevant queries, impressions and clicks after the page has been processed again.
