Tip 1 – Internal linking
When you publish new content, make sure to link to it from other important pages on your site like the home page or blog page. Adding such links tells Google to crawl the link, while also indicating that the URL is important.
Tip 2 – Updating old content
Get back to your older content and find relevant places to put the links that you have recently added. This will bring a refreshment to your old pages, bringing in even more newer traffic.
Tip 3 – Social sharing
This goes without saying! Social sharing is the trend these days. Share your new content on social media, which will bring you more attention, widespread awareness, and thus better ranking. You may also share on content aggregators to show Google signals of social activity.
How to rank faster?
Tip 1 – Search click generation
Instead of sharing a URL to a social media URL, you could share to a Google search result. People will click the link taking them to a Google search result that has keywords you are trying to rank for. People will then search and click on your result. This helps to increase the click through rate, and rank for auto-suggest queries too.
Tip 2 – Leveraging the URL structure
When Google sees a new URL or a new page to index, they don’t have all the signals to rank it yet. Yes, they sure do have lots of algorithms that try to guess where the URL or page should be ranking. Thus, if you have a URL that is high authority, and you are leveraging an existing URL structure, new content published using the same structure will definitely have a bit of a ranking advantage.
With these above mentioned tips, you can definitely have your new content indexed and ranked faster. But, this is not a comprehensive list. For better results, you must hire a professional digital marketing company in Bangalore to help you with all the meticulous strategies.
