Content Optimization is crucial because it helps ensure that your content is easily discoverable and provides precise answers to user questions. This improves user experience and increases the chances of your content being featured in answer snippets or top answer engine results.
Content Optimization involves analyzing common user queries, using relevant keywords, structuring content with clear headings, and providing concise, accurate answers. It also includes optimizing metadata and using schema markup to help answer engines understand the content better.
