Does changing text content on a site affects seo?

[Sam09schulz]

HI,

i have changed some h1 and h2 , changed and added paragraphs,fixed plagiarism,grammar and added some pics with alt text,

I have just done it today,

I am ranking on second page

QUESTION-1 is it gonna affect my 2 months SEO efforts?

QUESTION -2 Do I have to submit sitemap to google again?

QUESTION-3 does changing content on the site frequently hurts SEO?

1: If done right and google picks it up as it should you should see some gains for just updating your website.

2: you only have to submit a sitemap if you made physical changes to your website structure and pages, meaning that if you have'nt changed any of that you dont need to. A sitemap is just an index on how your website related to pages looks like.

3: See answer one.

any reference link you can share, because i dont see my answers cleared up.

what do u mean by site structure , lets say if i add pictures or videos, is that structure change?

[Vanderlindemedia]

No that's content. Adding a page is extending your site structure.

thanks jeroen for clearing things up.i really appreciate your help

and if i change my websites theme, lets say its a primer theme from wordpress and i want to choose theme from themeforest , is that gonna change the structure.

can u explain other than adding a page what else will count as changing structure.?

[Vanderlindemedia]

Structure like a theme dont change the content, so yes you can safely change that. The URL's will remain the same as well so that shoud'nt cause an issue at all.
