Are we in for another drastic change with the Helpful Content Update?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Although not as much as a decade ago, search results are still populated with content written solely for rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Content that is stuffed with keywords or formatted to game the system is out there.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s nothing wrong with optimizing your content for SEO, but adding fluff to increase word count or scrapping content with no original thought isn\u2019t going to work anymore.<\/p>\n<p>Google has long been on a mission to make search results as relevant as possible to any given search query. And this &#8220;Google Helpful Content&#8221; update is just another step in that direction.<\/p>\n<p>For most, if your content is original and well-thought-out, the update could actually be a blessing in disguise.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you fear your rankings might take a hit, we\u2019ll share a few tips you can use to fix your content asap.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc112273266\"><\/a>Google Helpful Content Update Explained<\/h2>\n<p>Helpful content is an algorithm update aimed at diversifying search results to promote original content written by people for people.<\/p>\n<p>At the heart of this update, Google plans to better address search queries. Therefore, content published to please Google&#8217;s search engine is less likely to rank.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"_Toc112273267\"><\/a>What Does Helpful Content Mean?<\/h3>\n<p>Helpful content means a piece of information that satisfies the search intent with a proper action plan. Let&#8217;s discuss a general example:<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s assume someone is looking for tips on how to make a bird feeder at home.<\/p>\n<p>A helpful piece of content would be one that provides a thorough step-by-step process. A list of equipment needed is there. In short, it covers everything in 1500 words.<\/p>\n<p>Now, there\u2019s another piece of content that\u2019s 3000 words. This one contains a general overview of what a bird feeder is. Then goes into why you need it and then talks briefly about making one with very generic information. Clearly written for keywords.<\/p>\n<p>The first type of content will easily outrank the latter after the update rolls out.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc112273268\"><\/a>Who\u2019s on Google\u2019s Hit List?<\/h2>\n<p>Google\u2019s main objective is to target AI-generated content with this update and they make it pretty clear in their blog post.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4158\" src=\"https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Googles-helpful-content-update.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"870\" height=\"77\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Googles-helpful-content-update.jpg 870w, https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Googles-helpful-content-update-300x27.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Googles-helpful-content-update-768x68.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Having said this, there still is a place for AI-generated content in content marketing. But, you\u2019ve got to make sure you add value to the content you publish.<\/p>\n<p>What really caught my attention from the above extract is the term &#8220;part of a broader effort&#8221; because this means Google will introduce more updates or changes in their algorithm to value original and well-researched content.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4159\" src=\"https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/people-first-content.jpg\" alt=\"Google helpful content update\" width=\"877\" height=\"121\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/people-first-content.jpg 877w, https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/people-first-content-300x41.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/people-first-content-768x106.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 877px) 100vw, 877px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Visitor satisfaction is also being taken into account. Google will penalize content that doesn\u2019t satisfy the visitor\u2019s expectations \u2013 regardless of whom it was written by.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/search\/blog\/2022\/08\/helpful-content-update\">Read: Google\u2019s Guidelines for Content Creators<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Impact of the Update<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s still very early days and we\u2019ll know more in the future.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, this update will massively impact search results and change how marketers design their content strategy, much like how Panda and Penguin changed the way we get backlinks today.<\/p>\n<p>Those like us, who focus on quality and original content, will win.<\/p>\n<p>Ranking content will become challenging, nigh impossible for sites that rehash or rephrase strategically to game the system.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc112273269\"><\/a>What Actions You Can Take To Minimize the Damage<\/h2>\n<p>As a business owner or marketer you might be freaking out.<\/p>\n<p>Is there a chance that you could face serious consequences with this update?<\/p>\n<p>After all, you worked pretty hard to get here and losing your traffic means losing business.<\/p>\n<p>Well, yes, on the surface, it seems the update will have a major impact if your content isn\u2019t up to scratch.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to do is perform a thorough content audit of your pages. Prioritize the pages that need prompt action. And start making changes.<\/p>\n<p>Below are some actionable tips to help you ride the wave and minimize the damage as much as possible.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"_Toc112273270\"><\/a>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Target each piece of content for <em>YOUR<\/em> audience<\/h3>\n<p>Writing for your audience means knowing what your readers want and writing from the specifically, while staying in your niche.<\/p>\n<p>But what do you do if you run out of content ideas?<\/p>\n<p>Instead of pouring a new wine into an old bottle, you should slowly work outwards.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Action:<\/strong> Move outwards with the correct angle.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s say you start targeting coffee brands in your fitness blog with the &#8220;correct angle.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>An excellent example of this is a blog post titled: should I drink coffee before working out?<\/p>\n<p>This title keeps your content relevant to your target audience and within your niche.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"_Toc112273271\"><\/a>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Make sure the information being provided is complete<\/h3>\n<p>Valuable content <em>satisfies<\/em> search intent.<\/p>\n<p>To measure the value of your content, Google might evaluate how users behave on your pages.<\/p>\n<p>Time spent on page and bounce rates are more important than ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Action<\/strong>: Add adequate information in your blogs and cover everything that needs to be covered under the title.<\/p>\n<p>For example, a guide on how to make a bird feeder should cover all the aspects of the subject with internal links to more in-depth blogs, if needed.<\/p>\n<p>A blog post on \u201cwhat is a bird feeder\u201d might pass if you don\u2019t cover every aspect of the topic in detail. But make sure to mention all types of bird feeders here so that the information is complete.<\/p>\n<h3><a name=\"_Toc112273272\"><\/a>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Satisfy the search experience<\/h3>\n<p>We have already established that the &#8220;helpful content&#8221; update will value content that satisfies search intent more so than it works in keywords and word counts.<\/p>\n<p>But what is search intent?<\/p>\n<p>Simply put, search intent is the <em>reason<\/em> behind the search.<\/p>\n<p>Giving the user what they want will likely benefit your content after the update rolls out. And satisfying search intent doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean you have to write long-form content.<\/p>\n<p>This is because Google clearly stated that targeting word count means you are writing for search engines.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Action: <\/strong>Focus on answering the search query rather than adding content and keywords to rank higher.<\/p>\n<p>Even a 300-word content piece might beat a 1000+ word piece of content if it provides more value.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, your titles should be indicative of what\u2019s to come in the body of your content because many blogs have catchy titles to reel readers in but don&#8217;t content to back it up.<\/p>\n<p>Fix that, and you&#8217;re good to go.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc112273273\"><\/a>Wrapping It Up<\/h2>\n<p>Google&#8217;s helpful content is definitely going to change how SEO is viewed. But businesses targeting their audience instead of Google have nothing to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>A content audit should be priority number 1.<\/p>\n<p>Check if your published content is up to standard.<\/p>\n<p>If you have too much on your plate to do this, perhaps working with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchberg.com\/seo-services\/\">content-driven SEO agency<\/a> like ours could help. We\u2019ve long been proponents of quality content for SEO and our clients are set to reap the benefits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s been 10 years since the Penguin update shook how businesses approached SEO worldwide.
