  • 20% commercial (reviews, comparisons)

  • 10% personal/opinion (for engagement)

2. Use the “Topical Authority” Approach

  • Cover one sub-topic completely before moving to the next.

  • Add internal links and external links to authority sites.

  • Tools: Yoast SEO, SurferSEO, Grammarly


๐Ÿ”น Step 5: Focus on User Experience

  • Use heatmaps (e.g., Hotjar) for user behavior insights.


๐Ÿ”น Step 9: Be Consistent and Patient

  • Post 2–4 high-quality articles/week for 3–6 months.

๐Ÿ”น Step 10: Scale

  • Repurpose content into:

    • YouTube videos

    • Infographics

    • Short-form content for social media
