Improving Content Depth
Problem
Shallow content that only scratches the surface of a topic provides less value to users and is less likely to rank well or be cited by AI systems.
Best Practices
1. Aim for 2000+ words for comprehensive topics
2. Use 5+ heading levels to organize content
3. Cover subtopics thoroughly
4. Include examples, data, and case studies
5. Add expert insights and original analysis
6. Update content regularly
Content Depth Signals
- Multiple heading levels (H1 → H2 → H3)
- Diverse content types (text, lists, tables, images)
- Internal and external references
- Original data or research
- Comprehensive topic coverage
