Do you need bulletin board articles?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

I read a lot about the importance of articles and for me writing them has become fundamental in search promotion. But after analyzing the competitors, doubts arose. Let's take the Avito
classifieds site as an example . For the query " buy an apartment in Nizhny Novgorod " in Yandex.Search, he is in the first position, but he does not have any articles on the page. How did he get to the top? And Avito is not the only one!

Answer 1

It's not the articles that matter, it's the content. If you can give the same variety of offers as Avito, then indeed, you can successfully move forward without articles.
Those. if you have a trust message board, then yes, with a competent structure, linking, meta tags, you can achieve good results without using articles.

Answer 2

Avito has huge advertising budgets. Truly millions.
There are a lot of links to them (already left by volunteers for free).

Answer 3

1. Links. Lots of links
2. High number of branded queries
3. Behavioral factor
4. More useful page with more choice of offers, therefore it is more relevant
