The Secret to Quickly Ranking On The First Page of Google

 SEO has become more competitive than ever before. This means it’s getting harder to rank on the first page of Google for any popular terms. The first page of Google is being dominated by top companies with enormous resources and are willing to spend a huge amount of money to reach and stay on top. It all seems hopeless. But what if I told you, there is still a good chance for you to reach the number one position in Google with your SEO and content marketing.

It’s true that competition is fierce. There are almost 2 million blog posts published every single day. This makes it extremely difficult to rank for any popular keywords. Unless you’re willing to write well-researched long-form articles and acquire hundreds of links, your ranking prospects are dim.

So does that mean you should give up? Absolutely not. To succeed, you do need to be smart when trying to outrank your pages and land on the first page of Google.

This strategy involves content marketing, which is still one of the best and least expensive ways to improve your rankings and generate traffic to your website.

If you want to get your pages to show up on the first page of Google, you must create content around low-competition, long-tail keywords, and phrases. (Tweet this)

It’s a proven fact that low competition keywords convert better. The higher the competition on an SEO keyword, the more clicks you’ll need to get your desired result. Ranking for less competitive long-tail keywords will likely result in higher conversions than broader terms.

If you can get your pages rank for low competition keywords, you can drastically increase your brand visibility and improve the chances of people finding your pages.

Remember because websites that reach #1 position in Google get much more traffic, it’s better to be #1 for less competitive phrase than to be ranked #5 for a more popular keyword.
