What is a clear, SEO-friendly paragraph?
A paragraph is not just a collection of sentences and whitespace. What does an SEO-friendly, clear paragraph look like? Let’s look at some of the characteristics.
One topic to address
One topic, one aspect or thing should be a paragraph’s focus. It should convey one message. Unless you are summarizing, it is best not to try and address multiple issues in one paragraph. A paragraph should be a thematic unit. A paragraph should have a series of sentences that are connected. If you want to discuss something else, you must create a new paragraph.
Complete them
The paragraph should be completed. This means you shouldn’t repeat the same topic in each paragraph. All the information you will be discussing a topic should be contained in one paragraph. The focus should change after whitespace.
Keep them short
An SEO-friendly sentence should be short. Keep paragraphs under 10 sentences. Some paragraphs can be longer. You can have both shorter and longer paragraphs. This makes it easier to read. You may need to divide a large topic into two sections and create two paragraphs from it. If this happens, critically evaluate your topic. You are probably writing about different topics if you have more than 10 sentences. Be sure to organize your paragraphs cleverly.
Subheadings are a good idea!
To help readers understand the content of a paragraph, add subheadings. Subheadings are a great way to help readers understand the main message in your text. People use subheadings to decide whether they will read your article. They also use them to comprehend the argumentation in the text.
Your core sentence should be your starting point.
A core sentence is a key to an SEO-friendly paragraph. This sentence explains the purpose of the paragraph. A good paragraph will have a few supporting sentences. These sentences are related to the main message but add nuance or detail. A concluding sentence or transitional sentence can be added to the paragraph. This will round out or bridge the next paragraph.
