Tips for making your note easier to find in web searches
What do you keep in mind when posting on note?
The note management team is taking various measures to ensure that as many people as possible see your articles. As one of these efforts, we have strengthened our SEO (Search Engine Optimization) measures, which has resulted in a significant increase in the number of people reaching your pages after note articles appear in web search results.
In addition to the measures taken by the management team, there are also things you as creators can do when writing articles to make them easier to find in web searches. Here, we will introduce some tips, incorporating general know-how while referring to the concepts in the Search Quality Evaluator Guidelines published by Google.
According to the guidelines, Google Search values the concepts of "Experience," "Expertise," "Authoritativeness," and "Trust" (E-E-A-T), and we have based these tips on that perspective. Please use them as a reference when creating your articles.
1. Create a title that makes the content of the article easy to imagine
If readers can imagine the content of the article just by looking at the title, it is more likely to be clicked in search results, so keep this in mind.
Tips for creating titles are also introduced in the following article.
Also, the "note AI Assistant (beta)," which is available for free to anyone registered on note, has a [Suggest Title] feature. Please try using it.
2. Make the content specific based on your experience
Write while adding specificity to your text, photos, and videos so that it is clear that these are things you have experienced firsthand.
In the magazine below, we introduce popular creators who use real-life experiences and original content. Please use it as a reference.
3. Be aware of what keywords readers will use to search
Who do you want to read your article? What keywords would that person use to search? Try to imagine the keywords they might use and include them in your title and body text.
4. Add links if you have referenced any sites
By adding links to articles or literature you have referenced, you provide a basis for your arguments. In particular, links to reliable external sites increase the authority of your content, making it easier for readers to trust you. Also, if you quote from an external site or article, be sure to state the source. With the
note citation feature you can also add links to the source.
5. Utilize the heading feature
On note, you can add headings to parts of your text (the capitalized sentences numbered 1-9 in this article). By adding headings, the structure of the entire body text becomes easier to understand and read. Try including searchable keywords in your main headings.

6. Be aware that images are also searched
By setting ALT (alternative text) for images in your articles, you make the content easier to understand for those who are reading the article using screen readers. Also, including keywords in the image file name or ALT may make it easier for them to appear in image searches.
Please refer to this help page for how to add image file names and ALT text.
7. Enhance your creator page profile
Fill out your creator page profile in as much detail as possible. Including links to external social media can also provide hints that demonstrate the author's expertise and credibility.Click here for how to set up your profile text.
8. Promote your articles on social media
Once you publish an article, promote it on social media to increase the number of views and opportunities for it to be mentioned. Increased mentions can lead to a perception of greater external credibility and authority.

9. Be cautious with topics related to YMYL
YMYL is an acronym for "Your Money or Your Life." It refers to genres that significantly impact people's lives at important junctures, such as money, medicine, health, and law. Because these genres require more credibility and expertise than other content, please share information carefully.
Keeping these things in mind may help your content appear more easily in search results. Please give it a try.
