Target keyword: tesla battery / tesla powerwall cost / powerwall cost

This document highlights data that can be used when updating this content to further support SEO improvements, i.e. ahrefs, Clearscope, Search Console, Google Autosuggest, and internal link data.

As well as mines ranking competitor articles for the query, in order to pull in content subtopics, graphics/images, or other interesting elements that may be missing from the article and should or could be included within the content.

Finally, it proposes potential updates to page title, meta description, and H1 elements for improved CTR and rankings.

Search Intent

tesla battery

(Search Volume: 31,000)

Here is the SERP landscape for the tesla battery term:

  1. Tesla
  2. [shopping]
  3. [People also ask]
  4. Tesla
  5. Tesla
  6. Tesla
  7. [shopping]
  8. eCommerce - Commercial
  9. eBay - Commercial
  10. [video pack]

This trend also continues on the second page.

In short, there is no chance of an informational-intent result ranking for this query within Google’s current iteration of its algorithms.

(although, Video should still target the term—these results do demonstrate informational intent).

Tesla Powerwall: Expert Review video is not included on the page? This title should be updated / discussed with video for optimization. Update: Catherine mentioned the video is outdated. Brought up to Thomas that a unique video can be created for tesla powerwall cost, as well as collaborating to update the title / SEO elements of the “Expert Review” video to better compete within the tesla battery video pack results.

In fact, the organic traffic decline as illustrated above is mostly attributed to the tesla battery term:

Finally, and it’s a little bit of a sloppy chart, but you can see other publishers of information drop off similar to the SolarReviews article for this term:

The title tag should therefore be updated to deemphasize this keyword (more on this later):

tesla powerwall cost

(Search Volume: 12,000)

For the tesla powerwall cost term, we see informational-intent results and a typical mix of SolarReviews competitors. At the 16th position, the SolarReviews article is in the running for competing for the term on page 1.

And, although this term has ~1/3 less search volume than the telsa battery term according to ahrefs, this doesn’t account for the search volume of term variations that serve the same mix of results on Google, i.e. cost of tesla powerwall (1,200), how much does a tesla powerwall cost (1,100), etc.

SERP Similarity

Despite these similarities, Keywords Insights data shows that the tesla solar battery , tesla home battery , and tesla battery cost (and “tesla powerwall battery”, not shown here) are still heavily dominated by Tesla.com results:

The informational-intent results that are consistent within these SERPs (tesla solar battery , tesla home battery , tesla battery cost , tesla powerwall battery) focus on the “tesla powerwall cost” term before transitioning into an overview of the product:

Not positive why their title is being displayed as this here.
🗝️
Therefore, this SolarReviews article should focus on the tesla powerwall cost and powerwall cost terms first and improve visibility before weighing the article against the tesla solar battery , tesla home battery , tesla battery cost , tesla powerwall battery terms.

Or in other words, the article will not rank for the latter queries without improving within the first.

Clearscope + Search Console

Unused and underutilized topics from Clearscope

The following table lists “unused” terms based on Clearscope. Terms with 0 uses should be prioritized to be worked into the existing content.

Those that do not have a “heading presence” value can generally be worked in using natural language within the existing content. Whereas unused terms that Clearscope indicates are typically used as headers should be considered as such.

🔥
Using these two data tables in tandem with the Competitor Analysis section will help paint a better picture on where terms can be inserted, or if adding entirely new paragraphs or rewriting entire sections is a better initiative.

Search Console “Striking Distance Keywords”

The following table uses Search Console data, and a tool called “KW Optimizer”, to map Search Console data to the amount of times the term is mentioned on a target page.

Top queries with little — or no — mentions, but high impression counts, should be prioritized to rework into the existing content.

🗯️
Working these phrases, or similar variations, into the text a few more times over the course of a rewrite, or creating new sections to cover these keywords/subtopics in depth, will help the content rank better for terms the data demonstrates are getting searched for. The refreshed piece of content can improve rankings for keywords it currently ranks in “striking distance”. In particular, terms that rank on the bottom of page 1 or on page 2.

Google Autosuggestions

This data can be used in tandem with Clearscope unused terms and “striking distance keywords” in order to inform new content sections/subtopics.

Competitor Content Analysis

This section mines competitor articles for specific subtopics, questions, and talking points brought up in ranking articles for the query, but that are not addressed within the SolarReviews article (or that could be expanded upon).

This can be used in tandem with the “Unused” and “Striking distance keywords” data, i.e. which content and subtopics could be added where these terms could be included.

🗯️
Important note: These summaries and individual breakdowns have been generated by ChatGPT 4 by ingesting both the SR article and competitor articles, and prompting against them. It thoroughly covers which topics are missing or not addressed “as well” within the SR article, but isn’t able to determine if the subject actually needs to be included. In summary, AI has done 80% of the legwork, with human analysis providing the (more crucial) remaining 20%. Note: Competitor articles have been human-reviewed to mine for interesting graphics, formatting, and other interactive or visual elements that should or could be included within the SR article.

Summary

Here's a summary of the key findings from the analysis of the additional articles against the "SolarReviews" article, highlighting recurring themes and crucial insights that were either missing from or could enhance the original article:

1. Detailed Cost Breakdowns:

Many of the reviewed articles, particularly from "Forbes," "MarketWatch," and "EcoWatch," provided detailed breakdowns of the costs associated with purchasing and installing a Tesla Powerwall. These included not only the price of the Powerwall itself but also installation costs, potential savings from bulk purchases, and the impact of incentives. The "SolarReviews" article could benefit from incorporating more specific financial scenarios to help potential buyers better understand the total investment required.

2. Comparison with Competitors:

The "EcoWatch" and "CNET" articles offered comparisons between the Tesla Powerwall and its competitors, highlighting cost per kWh, efficiency, and performance metrics. This type of comparative analysis helps readers gauge the Powerwall's market standing and value proposition relative to other available battery systems.

3. Installation Options and Logistics:

Articles like those from "This Old House" and "CNET" discussed various installation options and the logistics involved, including considerations for using third-party installers versus direct purchases from Tesla. These insights are crucial for potential buyers to understand the installation process and what might be involved in terms of labor and time.

4. Incentives and Rebates:

The discussion on financial incentives and rebates was more thoroughly covered in the "MarketWatch" and "Bankrate" articles. They detailed how federal and possibly state incentives could significantly reduce the upfront costs of a Powerwall, a point that would enhance the "SolarReviews" article by providing readers with actionable advice on reducing financial burdens.

5. Real-world Use Cases and Practical Considerations:

"The Old House" and "CNET" articles included practical user experiences and considerations, such as the operational efficiency of the Powerwall during power outages and its integration with home energy systems. These real-world insights add a layer of practical advice that could help potential buyers make more informed decisions.

6. Future Planning and Additional Costs:

Several articles touched on future planning, including the expected lifespan of the Powerwall and potential future costs for replacement or maintenance. Including such information in the "SolarReviews" article could help readers plan for long-term use and evaluate the total cost of ownership more effectively.

Conclusion:

Incorporating these detailed financial analyses, comparative insights, practical installation information, and long-term considerations into the "SolarReviews" article would not only provide a more comprehensive view of the Tesla Powerwall's costs and benefits but also assist potential buyers in making well-informed decisions about integrating such technology into their homes. These enhancements would significantly increase the article's utility and relevance to its audience.

Title Tag & Meta Description & H1

Decent enough tool to visualize how your title tag and meta descriptions, as well as URL, will display on Google, for both mobile and desktop.

Title Tag

Title tags are, of course, concise, 65 characters or less, titles of the article that display in SERPs. With such limited real estate, it is important to capture the keyword, while ideally at the same time making it interesting, engaging, informative, and/or click-worthy.

Here’s how competitor articles have constructed their title tags:

Publisher
Title tag
How Much Does The Tesla Powerwall Cost? (2024) – Forbes Home
How Much Does a Tesla Powerwall Cost in May 2024?

How Much Does the Tesla Powerwall Cost? (2024 Review Guide)
Expert Tesla Battery Review: Powerwall Cost and If It’s Worth It

It’s pretty obvious from the search results that every competitor is targeting the same term/using the same data—the title tags are almost all identical.

But this sameness can be leveraged in your favor—incorporating the primary keyword and using the remaining character space to add something compelling/related to tesla powerwall cost / a finding from the article that entices uses to click.

Or at the very least, to stand out from the crowd.

It’s never a bad idea to reconsider your title tag when updating content, and rift on a few ideas:

Original:

Expert Tesla Battery Review: Powerwall Cost and If It’s Worth It

Alternatives:

  1. Tesla Powerwall Cost 2024: What Factors Impact Pricing?
  2. Tesla Powerwall Cost 2024: How Much You Should Expect to Pay
  3. Tesla Powerwall Cost 2024: Installation, Incentives & ROI
  4. Tesla Powerwall 2024: Is the Cost Worth the Benefits?
  5. Tesla Powerwall Cost 2024: Understanding Pricing & Savings

H1

The H1 can mimic the title tag closely, or use a variation of the key term that has good search volume (or an unused term or “striking distance keyword”), and it’s completely fine to change it around a little if the 65 character limit of the title wasn’t quite enough space to communicate the value of the article in a readable manner to SolarReview’s audience.

Here’s how competitor articles have constructed their H1s:

If SR wants to take advantage of all available SERP real estate for the topic, a video covering the pros and cons of solar energy/panels should be created, uploaded to YouTube, and embedded within the article.

The featured snippet displaying for the key term can be competed for by replicating MarketWatch’s formatting of including the “key takeaways” section first within the SolarReviews article.

SolarReviews can compete for placement within the image pack by including an “alt” text within article images, i.e. “tesla powerwall battery in home” (MarketWatch).
