If that is correct, it stands to reason that an infographic on its own is the holy grail of the different modes of communication. That is, having good infographics coupled with well-written content is a surefire recipe for SEOs to get a website ranking. Before we get carried away, let\u2019s expand on what an infographic is, along with the different types of infographics you can find in the marketing industry.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-895 size-full\" title=\"Find Free Infographic Maker Tools Online\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rankmovers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/best-free-tools-create-infographics.png\" alt=\"infographic Images\" width=\"500\" height=\"322\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What is an infographic?<\/h2>\n<p>Visualize a presentation, now in that setting, you will be hard-pressed find a one without the use of infographic images. An info graphic is a visual illustration of information so that it can be digestible for the audience. Good infographics compress complex numeric and textual data into easy to understand visual representations that include pictures and videos. SEO and digital marketers use infographics primarily to capture and retain the viewer\u2019s attention. While the human brain might recall information at different speeds for each individual, our minds have a higher propensity to recall videos and <a href=\"\/seo-images-optimisation-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">images<\/a> much faster than a comprehensive text.<\/p>\n<h2>Types of infographics Online<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of different types of SEO infographics:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Comparison<\/li>\n<li>Geographic<\/li>\n<li>Hierarchical<\/li>\n<li>How to Guides<\/li>\n<li>Informational<\/li>\n<li>List<\/li>\n<li>Process<\/li>\n<li>Statistical<\/li>\n<li>Timeline<\/li>\n<li>Resume<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>The Difference between Infographics &amp; Text Content<\/h2>\n<p>There really isn\u2019t much difference between the two since both methods are relaying the same content. The distinction lies in the representation of the content. While both are informative modes of conveying a message across, their styles are different. Here\u2019s the difference:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Infographics<\/strong> are visual content pieces (this includes video infographics).\n<ul>\n<li>More pictures and fewer words.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li><strong>Textual content<\/strong> relays a message in a much more descript and comprehensive format.\n<ul>\n<li>More explanatory, word-intensive and number-based content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>What does Google say about SEO Infographics?<\/h2>\n<p>Google PageRank works in mysterious ways, however, there\u2019s a well-established understanding among online marketers that recognizes that images have a separate ranking criterion. Google uses Web Spiders to crawl an indexed page and there\u2019re different algorithms for each ranking criterion. Each criterion includes analyzing keywords, domain age, content, length, title tag, header tags and other factors.<\/p>\n<p>Info graphics also play a huge role in SERPS rank checker crawl. When the spiders come across a link, they then follow the link and indexes that page. Your site might not rank number one for a certain keyword, but your infographic may be first on the images search results.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Create Infographics Online<\/h2>\n<p>Creating an interactive infographic is not rocket science. There\u2019re plenty of infographic software sites that provide a comprehensive tutorial on how to make an infographic. They also offer free infographic templates available for download.
