What is "Filling the Gaps SEO Technique"?
So, my blog post was already ranking on the 1st page of Google, but somehow I was not able to crack the top 3 positions for my target keyword.
After going through my blog post again & again, I tried to find the problems in my article. After putting all my efforts for 1–2 days, I found the following reasons which were responsible for the same:
- My blog post is not fulfilling the user intent for my target keyword (incomplete information)
- Grammatical mistakes in my article
- Requires additional content to help suffice the needs of the visitors
- The requirement for a "table of content" to help users navigate easily within the article.
- Some extra feature to help me stand out in the SERP
These were the gaps that were stopping me from ranking on the Top 3 positions & therefore, I have given the name "Filling the Gaps" to this SEO Technique.
After finding out the reasons, I have used the "Filling the Gaps SEO Technique" & completed the following:
- Researched for the related keywords to the primary keywords
- Added more information to cover as much as possible
- Added one plugin for "Table of Contents."
- Added FAQ schema to distinguish my result & cover more area in SERP
- Bought rewriting service from Fiverr to improve the grammar & sentence formation in the article
Result:
- More than 300% increase in Organic Traffic
- Started ranking in Top 3 positions for my target keyword
Therefore, in my opinion, "Understanding the user intent is more important than anything in SEO".
