How-to-guide content

How-to-guides are a great way to share insight and knowledge across your audience.

These guides are informative and teach your reader how to complete a given task using step-by-step instructions.

The more value and answers you bring to your reader, the more they are likely to return to your site and, eventually, turn into a customer. Here a few things to remember when writing your "how-to-guide:"

Write directly to your reader with clear and concise instructions
Identify the logical order of your instructions and use numbered lists
Use headings and bold to identify key stages in your step-by-step guide
Use photos and videos as much as possible to provide context to your reader

List-based content

Lists are a great way to consolidate information and provide your user with a quick and simple read.

For those that want a quick answer or don’t have time to read a long article, lists are a great way to quickly answer your searcher's query.

List content is great for driving traffic to your blog, and they are often quick to create.

Other blog post types

There are various other blog post styles you can use to create content.

When you combine a mix of different blog post styles into your content strategy, you create an engaging experience for your audience.

Here are some other blog post styles you should consider experimenting with:

Ebooks
Infographics
Video content
Case studies
Interviews or Q&A's

Consider looking at existing search results and other top-performing websites. Then, ask yourself a few questions:

Are these top-performing sites massive businesses? If so, what would it take to rank for something like this?
Is the existing content in the search results good quality?
Are there ways that I can improve this content type? (ie. adding photos, videos, optimizing keywords, making the posts longer and more valuable to the reader, etc)
