Keep pages useful, readable and fresh.

How do you optimize website content?
Optimize content by reviewing pages regularly for accuracy and freshness, answering the reader's question early, writing in short sentences under clear headings, removing duplicate titles, adding FAQs where people ask questions, and citing sources for facts. Google's guidance is to write helpful, reliable, people-first content rather than content made mainly to rank.
On this page
Content is never finished
Pages age, facts change and competitors publish. Regular review keeps content useful.
Readable beats clever
Short sentences, clear headings and plain words help readers and assistants. A standard readability scale gives you a minimum to aim for.
Fix the structure
Remove duplicate titles, add FAQs where people ask questions, and close gaps for topics your audience cares about.
Use AI as a drafting partner
AI can write a first draft quickly. Always review before and after, edit for accuracy and approve before anything goes live.
Key takeaways
- Review regularly
- Write plainly
- Remove duplicates
- Approve AI drafts yourself
