SEO: 5 tips to be first on Google in 2020

 For a large number of e-marketers, but also for the majority of business leaders, appearing first on Google is the goal.

However, today it seems possible to go further since a brand has the possibility of taking control of several positions on the first page of the famous search engineThus, by establishing yourself durably in the best results, you push your competitors lower in them.

So, let's take a look at 5 tips that, if properly applied, should ensure that your site is ranked first on Google.

 

1. Aim for zero position on Google

While first place on Google is still very popular, a growing number of SEO specialists are targeting zero for their websites.

Indeed, it is now possible to have your site appear in front of the results of natural search, which certainly offers its optimal visibility.

To help you: Why should you use Google Trends?


The zero position consists of three main elements:

  • The Featured snippet (or optimized snippet) which provides the Internet user with an immediate response to the request he made
  • The Knowledge card which takes the form of a form relating to the request made
  • Quick answers which, as the name suggests, are short answers like the weather forecast in a given city

To hope to appear in the optimized snippet, you will need to make real efforts in terms of SEO but rest assured, nothing is impossible.

Our advice
When you create new content aimed at providing answers to Internet users' questions, have the reflex to choose as the title the question as it is most frequently formulated by your target and add under it an extract from fifty words summarizing the answer given.

It is this extract, if it is of quality, that Google can place in position zero if it judges that it is you who provide the most relevant answer to Internet users.

2. Post similar content on different sites

If you want to truster several places of the Top 10 Google for your main keywords, it is quite possible to publish similar content from several sites. Be careful, however, such a strategy can be very time-consuming and it is, therefore, better to know where you are going before you start ...

The good trick
For example, you can create several sites around the same theme. It is then up to you to work on your content so that each of them is authoritative and is therefore well referenced by Google.

If the idea of ​​running two separate sites seems complex to you, social media can help you deliver content and, through links, propel your site to the top of Google.


Quality guest articles with links to your website can also boost your Google rankings. Not only can you aspire to be # 1 with your website, but also # 2 through your guest post.

However, in this specific situation, it is as if you had succeeded in conquering the first two places, the guest article being a good way to generate traffic but also to attract new customers.

Finally, in order to always better classify your website with similar content, you can use replication (and not duplication) by creating different articles that are identical in substance but not in form.


 

3. Place links, links, and more links

Whatever the length of your content, it must include internal links which must, of course, be relevant.

Indeed, be sure to properly associate your content with each other since it is on your choices that Google's robots then rely on to understand the structure of your site.

However, if the structure appears consistent, Google will tend to enhance your content, which will help you get closer to the coveted first place.


 

4. Write "effective" headlines

All Internet users take the time to consult the title of an article before making the decision to read it or not.


Also, it is from the title that you must convince Internet users that your content will bring them something. In other words, with a simple title, you must be able to show the Internet user the benefits of your content, without neglecting SEO imperatives.

Warning
In order not to make mistakes in your choice of title, it makes sense to use A / B testing. This will make it easy for you to choose what works best!

Also, remember to optimize the tags of your titles by avoiding simply duplicating them and taking care to use the keywords well.


 

5. Regularly update your content

Being # 1 on Google is one thing, staying # 1 is another. Also, if you want to permanently install your site in position 1 on the famous search engine, you will have to update your content very regularly.

The zero position consists of three main elements:

  • The Featured snippet (or optimized snippet) which provides the Internet user with an immediate response to the request he made
  • The Knowledge card which takes the form of a form relating to the request made
  • Quick answers which, as the name suggests, are short answers like the weather forecast in a given city
