- Write for people first, with keywords used naturally
- Internal links help both visitors and search engines
On-page SEO is everything you can control on the page itself. Done well, it helps Google understand what the page is about and helps searchers decide to click.
- Unique title tag
- Helpful meta description
- One clear H1
- Logical subheadings
- Descriptive image alt text
- Internal links
Title tags
The title appears as the clickable headline in search results. Keep it clear and specific, include the main keyword near the start and add your brand at the end.
Meta descriptions
This short summary can appear under the title in search results. It does not directly change rankings, but a good one can increase clicks.
Headings and structure
Use one main heading that says what the page is about, then subheadings for sections. Structure helps readers scan and helps search engines understand the content.
Content quality
Answer the searcher's question fully and clearly. Add examples, steps, images and FAQs. Thin pages with a few lines rarely rank well.
Images
Compress images, use descriptive file names and alt text that describes the image for people who cannot see it.
Links
Link to related pages on your own site with descriptive anchor text, and to trustworthy external sources when helpful.
