Enhancing SEO Adherence Tagging for a High-Traffic Q&A Platform
Optimizing content for search engines is paramount in today’s digital world, ensuring visibility and relevance. Odetta undertook a project to improve search engine optimization (SEO) adherence for a Q&A platform. We reviewed and assessed each page on the platform across four main categories: the quality of main content, overall page quality, the effectiveness of top human answers in addressing the queries, and the platform's overall ability to meet user requirements. Our team evaluated approximately 2,000 pages on the platform through quarterly audits, focusing on their alignment with Google's official SEO guidelines.
Challenges
One of our substantial clients, a Q&A platform, needed help with SEO adherence for their platform. This platform is a hub for knowledge-sharing, where users pose questions on various subjects, and community members provide insightful answers. With a commitment to facilitating meaningful exchanges, our client’s platform fosters a vibrant community of learners and contributors. Their multifaceted challenge in navigating the landscape of their platform’s content quality and the distinction between human and machine-generated answers presented a formidable task.
Content Relevance and Quality
Assessing the relevance and quality of content across a vast array of pages posed a significant challenge. Determining whether the answers provided were accurate, up-to-date, and comprehensive required scrutiny.
Page Quality Evaluation
Another hurdle was ensuring each page effectively satisfied the user's query. We needed to gauge how well the answers addressed the questions posed by users and whether the content provided a satisfactory experience.
Human vs. Machine Answers
With human and machine-generated answers, distinguishing between them and assessing the relevance of human responses emerged as a critical task. It was imperative to prioritize human-generated content for its credibility and user-centric approach.
