Book recommendation: A few weeks ago, we recommended Eli Schwartz’s book, Product-Led SEO. Since then, we've been using some of Eli’s tactics in our own content strategy.
Product-Led SEO builds a great product for users first and optimizes for search second. Instead of starting with keyword research like most SEOs, Eli recommends the following process:
- Determine if a target audience uses search as a part of their buyer's journey
- Learn from the userbase what they might be looking for on organic search as it relates to your product offering
- Determine what you might build for your users to acquire the traffic from search—this is your SEO product
- Layer in SEO best practices in the development of this product
