Some points for identifying the underperforming thing Losing the site traffic Many times this happens that content gains traction even in a substantial amount. But eventually, lose the traffic and this situation comes when there is the wake of social promotion, a loss of referral links, or maybe a shift in the organic results. So it all depends upon the situation which occurs. Getting no direct engagement from the content Nowadays a relevant page also has poor direct engagement and this could point back to a problem with a call-to-action. The main concern is that the content is not matching with the audience's interest. Not getting organic traffic on your content It is really disturbing to publish a post and the organic search result can be one of the biggest traffic sources. But now the situation is if your content is poorly optimized then that is a problem. Not getting as much social engagement By giving less share on the social media platform is a basic thing that denotes that there is an issue with the content and especially when you are getting steady site traffic to the content to post. Low page time/session duration per page Everybody wants their audience to show interest in reading your content and also want the reader to visit other pages too. As it is opposed by using the same landing page as an exit page or bouncing from the website taking other actions too.

Here you can follow the quickest tips to improve the performance of your previous contents By re-optimizing the previous content with the long tail keyword We have talked about this above but getting more clarity is important and this is one of the best tips you can follow. All your content pages are optimized for the long-tail keywords which tend to behave better in the search engines and this is the reason why these keywords are highly specific and also less competitive. So it will be easy to rank for them first. Every content has these two things in it- first is the address of a particular keyword, and second, can answer a question type. And we produce our content online for a basic purpose that can be anything. For many users who are willing to search for a specific type of information and then end up finding your amazing content as of those searches only. Just don’t rely on Google only as there are many companies too, which makes use of keywords in its ranking algorithm. These companies can be Reddit, Twitter, YouTube, Yahoo, Bing, and many others also. Before people find their search answer they have to enter a specific keyword or any key phrase into the search bar to find the answer. So by this, we can understand that keywords are really important in this field to improve performance. Try to add more powerful words to your headlines in the content Words have the power to attract anyone that’s why some are categorized as power words. Using the right one in your content and this will increase your CTR. Digital marketers have tried to discover all the factors which Google uses around 200 ranking factors in its algorithm. But after some time marketers noted that there is one factor that fastly boosts the organic search rankings accordingly. It's the click-through-rate and what does it mean? For example when your site is ranked at 5th then you are supposed to get at least 15% of the clicks you get on your site. And if you get a 25% rate then Google will reward you by pushing your page to get a higher rank. As you know Google only cares about its audience and serves up the most relevant, interesting information. By creating a persuasive and keywords which are rich meta description There are three aspects to the optimization of a site: First is the on-page SEO Second is the off-page SEO And last is the technical SEO You may be familiar with the first two but not with the technical one. So technical SEO is concerned with things such as your site speed and in case you want more site traffic then it is important to make your content pages insanely quick. But also when it is quick if your meta description is not that relevant or weak then your content will not get that much traction of traffic. Users don’t know about the speed they experience when they click on your search results. Mainly people read the meta description before deciding whether to open the site or not. That’s why it is important to make a persuasive and keyword-rich meta description for your page. Try to match the people’s intent by answering their questions As you know users are the main part of content marketing and if your content page doesn’t meet their intent they will not like to read it and will leave your site. For this situation, the solution is really simple by delivering the correct content in the correct format. So basically if your users are looking for a step by step instructions don’t give them hacks and all, just try to focus on the intent. By pointing new keywords according to what the users want to see. When you find the correct keyword that’s the first step to achieve your goal. The second is what exactly a person wants to see? For example, if a person wants to see some tips related to getting flat abs by working out at home. Then your article content should be: flat abs advice can be applied at home, the resources required to get the flat abs, the correct product you are recommending will probably not be that expensive. So the conclusion is that the intent of any type of keyword will be buried behind that keyword which is more related to users' interest. And by building a royal relation with your user is the best way to achieve their attention more.
