LSI copywriting with a deep elaboration

LSI-copywriting: how it works

LSI copywriting (Latent Semantic Indexing) is a practice of creating articles which are relevant to visitors’ behavior. Such texts include synonyms and other words for search queries.

LSI texts are deeply meaningful, informative, useful for website visitors and consist of actual information and data. Thereby these texts get a higher scoring from Google which ranks them to the top of search results.

Let’s see how it works. We would use a word «Napoleon» as an example.

What does he mean? A cake or a biography of commander Napoleon Bonaparte? Or maybe he’s looking for Napoleon Hill’s book  «Think and Grow Rich»?

According to the accompanying words, Google determines what information to show the user. If these are the words: book, hill, think, god, then on the first pages there will be online book stores, sites with reviews and resources with an electronic version of the publisher; at the words «cake», «recipe», «ingredients» – culinary platforms.

LSI articles help search engines to analyze better what search queries are the most relevant for the site.

LSI requests

How to prepare a technical task for a copywriter?

If the author is not a beginner, has experience and knowledge in the topic for which the material needs to be prepared, then most likely he will intuitively include the necessary synonyms and relevant words. Since the principles of LSI-copywriting are similar to the basics of writing high-quality texts.

However, this happens quite rarely. Therefore, it is better to prepare a detailed technical task for a copywriter. To do this, you can use online services or desktop programs. There are quite a variety of them now.

Check out search suggestions clues

When you enter a query in the search box, Google give clues. These can be used to make a list of rLSI words.

A block of search clues is also displayed under the results of the search results.

 Analyzing top results

Be sure to study competitors who already occupy the first positions in the search results. This can be done either manually or using special services.

Let’s take the Simple SEO Tools online service as an example. Open the service and go to the «Page Analyzer» tab, enter the URL of the competitor’s page that is at the top.

And we get the following results:

We look in detail at the «Density» tab, it contains frequently used queries.

Competitor analysis should also determine:

• what other keywords are used to index competitors’ articles;
• how many links were purchased per page;
• what anchors are being used.

More advanced services can provide answers to these questions. As a rule, they are paid, but there is a seven-day trial period to evaluate their capabilities. Among them: SemRush, Ahrefs, OSE and others.

 Parsing similar queries

To collect keywords from the right column of Yandex. Wordstat is logical to use the Key Collector program.

To do this, click on the blue icon in the top menu of the program «Batch collection of phrases from the right column of Wordstat Yandex».

 Choosing synonyms

To add more synonymous words to the text, you can use online services or «brainstorm».

Having collected LSI-requests, we form the technical task. On one sheet, write down the main requirements, on the other – the indicative plan of the article and keywords.

If in the process of analyzing competitors and collecting keywords, strengths are noted in the texts from the top, then they should also be indicated in the technical task, in the additional column «Notes».

What is the correct way to use LSI queries? 

In the first place, the copywriter should have the readability of the text and the organic occurrence of keywords. In no case should you enter requests for the sake of them simply «being».

In order for search engines to appreciate the quality of content and users to find answers to their queries, follow the rules:

1. Group LSI queries. If you have a lot of keywords in the technical task, then you should not abuse them, as it may result in overspam. Group queries, for example: «selection of LSI” and «LSI phrases», can be entered as «selection of LSI phrases».
2. Decline and dilute in other words. Do not enter keywords «clumsy». Search engines will still understand what queries to rank content for.
3. Do not separate with a dot. Try to use words from the same query within the same sentence.
4. Do not write with errors. If there is an error in the request, it still needs to be spelled correctly, given the rules of the language.

The technical task is only a guideline for the author, so do not be afraid to violate some of its points. The first place should be the quality of the text and the depth of disclosure of the material, only then – the use of relevant phrases.

Summing up

We would like to make a summary. The methodic of LSI-requests selection is universal. There are such programs and services that collect and process the requests. You should only choose one of them that is better for you.

A well-written technical assignment for a copywriter is only half the job. Next, the author needs to carefully study the topic, competitors, target audience and prepare the material.

This work gives a good effect – positions in the top, improvement of behavioral factors and as a result – sales.
