Organic SEO tips: how to create a landing page

Let’s say that you sell 20 products online, with each one falling into one of two categories: Product Type A and Product Type B. You’ve created a unique page for each of your products, which is terrific, but what’s the next step?

The next step is to create a landing page for Product Type A, with links to each of the ten products in this category, and a landing page for Product Type B, with links to each of the ten products in that category.

This internal linking strategy will accomplish two goals:

  • make it easier for human site visitors to find the products they need
  • make it easier for the search engine spiders to index the content and return these URLs in response to relevant search queries

The goals of SEO copywriting are to draw targeted traffic to your web site and to make it easy for site visitors to make their purchases.

So, when deciding how to create a landing page for your site – let’s say for the Product Type A page, as an example – consider this basic formula:

  • Organic SEO tip # 1: Use strong, category-level keyphrases about type A products in your title tag, main headlines, and text in the opening and closing paragraphs of your landing page
  • Organic SEO tip # 2: Provide a compelling overview of your relevant type A products in your opening paragraph, describing general benefits to the end users
  • Organic SEO tip # 3: In the middle part of the page, link to each one of the relevant type A products, providing site visitors with a brief description of the benefits of these products
  • Organic SEO tip # 4: End this page with a persuasive paragraph that summarizes why site visitors need type A products now
