Do I Need a Lot of High-Quality Backlinks to Rank Higher on Google or Better Content?
While backlinks are still important for SEO, Google prioritizes high-quality content.
Quality content that provides value to users is fundamental to ranking higher on Google. Backlinks can complement this, but they are not the sole determinant of ranking.
Make sure the content is unique, relevant, and also satisfies search intent. Put simply, prioritize a people-centric content approach over writing exclusively for search engines.
