So make sure that you information is accurate and truthful and this will not only build your credibility and authority it will result in your readers coming straight to your website with direct clicks and make your website less dependent on the ranking criteria and search engines.
This is very important and powerful.
Your Target Group
Choosing you target group is something that you should deal with in the planning state of writing you content. You should also consider at the planning stage the scope of your content and how in-depth you want your content to go.
It is important to focus on the specific interest of your target group and think of things like keywords you use. You should always re-evaluate your content from time to, time, to see which articles are popular and what things your visitors are looking at.

Writing Style
When writing it is important to stay true to your own voice and not try to duplicate other writing styles. Staying true to your own voice will not only make writing your articles easier it will also increase you credibility and trust on your website and help to engage your readers because you will come across more authentic.
First Impressions
First impressions count and no matter how good your articles are if they are not structured in a user-friendly way then all you efforts will be fruitless. Make sure that you have a website that is easy to navigate around.
I would say that less is more. Keep your website simple and remember most of the trills and frills is really for your benefit and not your readers. A website that has too many colours for example takes away from the products or the article you want your readers to focus on.
As mentioned earlier I am using what I have recommended here and on my other websites, and it works and this is why I am sharing with you so that you can also have success with your articles, and website.
I have written other articles that I would suggest you read and this will enhance what you have learned here.

Great points and tips. Many factors come into play when it comes to engagement on your website.
In addition to the ones you have mentioned – added value, credibility, target audience, writing style and first impressions –
I’ve noticed these can also help with engagement:
Content mix – mix media to capitalize on people’s natural senses and offer them the easiest way to absorb your info in their style, e.g. text, custom images, PDFs, etc.
Embedded videos – get people to stay on your page longer by reading your 5 min article + watching a 2 min video
Personality – basically the point on writing style. Be a real person. People want to connect with people. Not just things and information with no emotions. Present from your point of view, own style. No one else can really compete that with that because there is no other you.
Regardless of what you do, the idea is to mix it up based on people’s natural senses to help them absorb your information in the way that they prefer. Hearing, seeing, feeling, etc.
