To discover content opportunities, try typing in keywords and you will see that Google will suggest popular topics. Google’s autocomplete feature will give you a heads up on what people are searching online, and this will be a chance to address these queries.

Here to questions to ask yourself:

Moreover, Google can easily see its connection and it will conclude that it is worthy of ranking.
