9 Editing and Proofreading Resources to Create Google Friendly Content

The content that you’re creating for your website has always got to be engaging and interesting for your readers. Otherwise, they won’t bother giving you their time.

While you’re putting together your website content, keep in mind that it also needs to appeal to Google in a different way.

The happier your content makes Google, the better your chances of seeing yourself at the top of the rankings.

Of course, this means you’ll be easier to find, have more readership, and so on. It’s a beautifully balanced online ecosystem.

Here are some great resources to help you survive and thrive in that ecosystem:

  1. Keyword Density Checker
    The ideal keyword density should be in the 2-3% range. You’ve got to have just enough to get the search engines purring, but not too many such that your content starts to sound forced and unnatural. It’s a frustrating experience for readers to have to read through repetitive, keyword-stuffed content. Not to mention, it’ll send up red flags to Google when you’re trying to cram too many keywords into your writing. This quick tool helps ensure you’re resting comfortably within your ideal range.
  2. Easy Word Count
    When you want an accurate tally of the words in your content, along with characters used, use this fast word calculator. If you’re trying to become among Google’s highest ranking websites, aim for 2,000-2,500 words for each page of content. Too little and you won’t have enough content to make Google happy. Too much and you’ll lose your reader’s short attention span.
  3. On-Page Optimization Tool
