How to write SEO copy that both Google and people love

Good SEO copy is not text stuffed with keywords. It's text that answers the user's question better than competitors – and only then does Google reward it with high positions.

1. Start with intent

Before writing, understand what the person is looking for. Do they want to learn, compare or buy? That determines the tone, length and structure. Pick one main keyword and a few related ones.

2. Build a clear structure

• Headings (H2, H3) – break the text into logical parts.
• Short paragraphs – 2–4 sentences, easy to read on a phone.
• Lists and bold – help readers scan quickly.

3. Write for people, not robots

Keyword „stuffing“ repels readers and hurts SEO. Use the keyword naturally – in the heading, the first paragraph and a few times in the text. Google understands synonyms and context.

Write for the human first, then optimize for Google. Not the other way around.

4. Don't forget on-page elements

• An attractive title and meta description with the keyword.
• One clear H1.
• Meaningful image alt text.
• Internal links to related pages.

5. Be thorough

Length isn't a goal in itself, but the text must fully cover the topic. Review competitor pages and aim to provide more value.
