Pro Tips & Insights
01
Compounding Topical Authority is paramount. A beauty guide published in Week 02 ranks 3x higher in Week 13 than one published in Week 10 due to accumulated internal link equity and semantic relevance.
02
Internal links are the 'PageRank' veins of a pSEO beauty site. An orphan page (zero internal links) will never rank, regardless of content quality or keyword targeting.
03
Keyword Intent for Beauty > Search Volume. A long-tail keyword with 50 searches but high 'Purchase Intent' (e.g., 'best serum for hyperpigmentation under $50') is 10x more valuable than a 5,000 search 'Definition' term ('what is niacinamide').
04
Consistent Publishing Cadence is a ranking signal. Search engines learn your publishing schedule. Drip-feeding 10 high-quality beauty articles a week is often more effective than publishing 100 on Day 01.
