Solve a Problem
CBD oil naturally lends itself to problem solving so this is a great fit. Below are some tips
Find keyword phrases that people search for to solve the problem. For example, the problem may be anxiety. The next question is what does someone search for when looking for remedies for anxiety. You want to find someone who is looking for a solution but research. As such, avoid general keywords like anxiety and instead optimize your post for ‘natural remedies for anxiety.’
The days of keyword stuffing are over. Instead, your copy should include multiple related keyword phrases naturally.
Get Detailed
Write a detailed post (ideally 1,000 words plus) to solve a problem someone is having. Use natural language in your post with useful facts and tips.
