SEO writing is the process of creating and optimizing content to appear in search engine results. While it is advisable, it is important to understand that the user should always be the top priority when it comes to writing. Of course, SEO is important, but ignoring variables such as search intent, user experience, and article structure can be harmful to your website growth.

Leaving us with one early conclusion: quality content, search intent & SEO only work when they are together. If one decides to ignore the other, you will either not rank, or just gain temporal rankings that will soon decay.

Interested in finding out what is SEO writing and how do I do it? Then keep reading so you can not only learn this too but also maximize the amount of traffic, leads, and conversions that can be acquired just through properly writing your content.

While search engine optimization is not the answer to every blogger’s problems, it’s one of the main problems why websites fail at gaining exposure.

They launch their website thinking that everything comes down to entertaining content, which is necessary and write for months if not years without ever seeing more than a hundred visitors per day.

Don’t get me wrong, getting a hundred visitors a day is a good number depending on your niche. For instance, you could be a small business that wants to reach a certain city from the US. With 3000 monthly viewers might be more than enough to cover a small city if that’s your target.

At the same time, it’s most likely a bad quantity if we consider how much you have spent hiring writers just to secure a couple of clients a month, or even worst, how much time you spent working on a 6000-word article that was never read.

Does this mean hiring an SEO expert is the answer?

Not at all.

In this episode, I’ll prove to you why SEO is not a waste of time, why it’s worth every single penny, but most importantly, help you determine how much you should really care about it.

I’ll be analyzing the topic from basic questions you may ask, so be sure to stick to the very end see with that the conclusion is.

As a game studio or developer you have experienced the joys of waking up in the morning, having a brainstorming session with your teammates, and then working the entire day on games that will hopefully turn so successful that you won’t have to drink two, but one cup of coffee each day.

In my relatively short SEO career, I have found that while creative industries have the most interesting people out there, they usually ignore more technical activities such as statistics, AdWords advertisement, and SEO.

This creativity allows them to reach places that were not even there before, but also make them follow a path of uncertainty. A path where they think everything will create will be considered as “awesome” by the masses.

I do not know about you, but I have always thought that uncertainty should be reduced as much as possible.

That is why I strongly believe all videogame publishers should perform three different actions whenever they even considered the creation of a new product:

• Market research to validate if the game will be viable
• Set up the future SEO strategy to guarantee a steady increase in the number of people who engage and buy our games
• Run extensive social media organically and paid campaigns to connect with your target audience

From my experience, I can personally help you with the second and third bullet points as I have participated in such stages. But on this occasion, I will focus on SEO for console or PC gaming companies.

This short guide is tailored specifically for the gaming industry. This means that my suggestions and examples will be focused on big and small game studios who want to bring more exposure to their games.
