8 Easy SEO Tips to Help Romance Writers Get Noticed
Want your blog to actually show up on Google or Pinterest? These tips are straight from the pack and they work.
1. Use Long-Tail Keywords
Instead of “writing romance,” try:
“How to write a grumpy/sunshine romance”
“Romance writing tips for sweet scenes”
Use free tools like Ubersuggest or AnswerThePublic to find what people are actually searching for.
2. Write One Post per Focus Keyword
Stick to one clear topic per post. For example:
Not: “How to Write Characters and Tropes”
Do: “How to Write Flawed but Lovable Romance Characters”
3. Format for Skimming
Use H2/H3 headings
Break into short 2–4 line paragraphs
Add bullet points and bold important phrases
Make it easy for readers (and Google) to navigate your content.
4. Add Internal + External Links
Link to:
Other blog posts you’ve written (keep readers on your site longer!)
Trusted external sources for credibility
Example: “For more on emotional arcs, check out this post on building a romance hero.”
5. Optimize Your Images
Use:
Keyword-rich file names (e.g.
grumpy-hero-romance-tips.jpg)Alt text for accessibility and SEO
Bonus: Make a Pinterest graphic for every post you write!
6. Use SEO-Friendly Titles
Make your titles clickable and clear:
“Writing the Perfect Meet-Cute: 5 Tips That Actually Work”
“Fake Dating, Real Feelings: How to Nail This Trope”
7. Focus on Search Intent
What does the reader want when they click your post? Give them exactly that, fast. Don’t bury the good stuff 500 words in.
8. End with a Call to Action
Every post should end with a next step:
Comment prompt: “What trope are you writing right now?”
Freebie offer: “Download the full idea pack here.”
Social share request: “Pin this to your writing board!”
Bonus: Repurposing Tips for Pinterest & Instagram
Blog content is just the beginning. Use it to create:
On Pinterest:
3–5 pins per post with different headlines
List-style graphics (e.g. “5 Tips for Writing Relatable Heroines”)
Keyword-rich pin descriptions with hashtags like #RomanceWriting #WritingTips
On Instagram:
Carousel posts that break down tips (each tip = 1 slide)
Reels with writing advice or tropes in action
Quotes, prompts, and scene starters from your blog content
