While fine when writing a book or article in a magazine, that\u2019s not the case when it comes to online marketing materials. The searchability of your content requires the same level of focus as its overall quality.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.staging-uk.clickintelligence.com\/guide\/keyword-research-2\/how-to-do-keyword-research\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Keyword research<\/a> is the literal key to knowing what your audience wants.

Yet, one of the biggest <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">SEO mistakes<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is believing the hard work is done \u2013 that you can simply wrap an article around these keywords, press the publish button, and expect a flood of traffic.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">First of all, your content shouldn\u2019t solely be focused on ranking for a specific keyword; the focus needs to be on the actual target topic.

There\u2019s no getting away from that \u2013 but there\u2019s a reason for this: Google places a lot of weight behind websites with a healthy backlink profile.
