Official statement

Important keywords should be made as visible as possible: in titles, headings, subtitles, and image captions. Don't worry about whether Google can reach the 20000th word, but instead, make the subject of the page obvious.

TL;DR

Focus on making important keywords prominent in your titles and subtitles. The goal is clear: Google should immediately grasp the topic of your page.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Quelle est la priorité entre longueur du contenu et visibilité des mots-clés?
Google recommande désormais de prioriser la visibilité des mots-clés clés en balises importantes.
Est-ce que cela signifie que les mots-clés en bas de page sont ignorés?
Pas ignorés, mais ils sont de moindre importance pour l'algorithme si non visibles dès les premières lignes selon Google.
Puis-je utiliser plusieurs fois le même mot-clé dans mes titres?
Oui, mais évitez de trop répéter pour ne pas sacrifier la clarté et vous rapprocher du keyword stuffing.
