Here’s what I do instead:
- Deconstruct top 3 results for design structure, heading layout, and entity repetition
- Create matching layout hierarchy (H2s, TOC, image placement) → Not just what they say, how they say it
- Add 3–5 schema types per page, matching competitor consensus (Breadcrumbs, FAQ, Review, WebPage, LocalBusiness)
- Link out (External open only) to 3 authority sources in niche (Not Forbes or Wikipedia... Real topical relevance.)
- Inject NLP entities mined → every 150 words
- Add internal linking (every 100-300 words) with InLinks or Link Whisper
Congrats! You’re now reverse engineering Google’s reward system.
