+ Structure your content
Main Entry Heading - Let Your Visitors Know Where They Are (H1)
Write some content that showcases your benefits and tells the customers what is in it for them. Remember the first two paragraphs are the most important. Write enough to get them interested but not so much they get bogged down. Include your target keywords in the headings and first line where possible.
Use sub headings to break out your content (h2)
Also use bullet points to allow for easy
Scanning of your content
And reading of your content
Use additional headings to enable visitors to find the section that is relevant to them (h2)
Also consider using images to help break down your content. Make your site easy to scan, easy to read and easy to navigate. Include links to other key pages and include your SEO target keywords in your links.
