2/CONTENT : 10% OF THE WORKING
‘’Your content must be optimized for the search engine’’
Adding content can be a real challenge in many cases, for example when you’re dealing an e-commerce website in the retail space, sometimes it’s a platform restriction, the other times adding too much content can push the product down the page or distract the user.
It’s important to have a keyword-focused content in order gain more visibility, but it’s not everything, the content must be original and should make sense.

In China it is so important to be ranked as a good reference site, because Chinese people rely always on the opinion of others.
An SEO agency in China will have special techniques to increase the trust-rank of your website.
Backlinks leading to your website are like the backbone for a good trust-rank score, it is important to have links pointing into your website from other relevant websites, and the longer the links are pointing to you, the more trusted they become. In the other hand, good websites won’t be linking out to bad websites.
