Boosting SEO Rankings with Strategic Content Updates

Recently, I decided to see if a small modification to a previously #4 ranking article could improve its position for the keyword “what is ESTEAM”. To my delight, it worked quickly! VentureLab is now ranking #1 for this relevant phrase and holds the featured snippet. Check out the high-ranking article about ESTEAM and STEM Education that I wrote as part of our content pillar strategy.

Inspired by this success, I also examined Google Image Search results for the same phrase. The alt-image tagging I’ve been diligently applying to older articles has made a significant impact – we’re “above the fold” for four images, including holding the #1 and #3 spots.
