For this, you can use Answer The Public .

This tool is completely free and suggests keyword using Google and Bing search.

Its interface is very easy to use which comes with a unique proposition and great visualization.

2. Include Main Keyword in URL

The URL helps search engines understand what your blog post is about and when we add our main keyword to the URL, the search engines can easily find out what the content is about.

This is why you should add keywords to your URL.

Also, try to keep your URLs SEO friendly, short and meaningful. 

3. Start Your Title With Keywords

Adding keywords to the title is very important according to on-page optimization.

But how to add it?

To get a good rank in the search engine, add keywords to the beginning of your title.

4. Use Main Keyword in 150 words

This step makes your content even more targeted and SEO friendly. So use your keyword once within 150 words.

For example, in this post you can see that I used the keyword "SEO Tutorial" in the first 150 words.

5. Use H1, H2 or H3 Tags Correctly

H1 tags help boost search rankings. But keep in mind one thing, do not fill your entire content with H1 tag.

Googler John Mueller tells about H2, H3 tags

These heading tags in HTML help us to understand the structure of the page.

Hindi

These Heading tags in HTML help in understanding the structure of the page.

However, it is not related to the important Google Ranking Factor .

But when it comes to search engine optimization, every little thing can help.

6. Images Optimize 

An image is equal to 1000 words.

And worst of all, Google cannot read the image. It reads the image based on the image's Alt Tag.

This is why always give the right name of your images. Apart from this, you should also pay attention to the alt tag of the image. 

7. Avoid Keyword Stuffing

In the old days, keyword Stuffing was used to rank any page. But now Google has become very smart.

If you do keyword stuffing in your content, Google will not rank your content .

Therefore, instead of using the same keywords repeatedly in your content, use LSI keywords and related keywords.

You   can use LSIGraph.com to find the best LSI keywords .

8. Use External Links

External links make your content more useful. But one thing that should be kept in mind, the linking site should be trusted and reputable. Otherwise, your site may be penalized.

This SEO strategy shows Google that your content is trustworthy and well referenced.

9. Use Internal Links

Internal linking makes your content Relevant for both search engines and users.

Internal linking makes your post informative. In addition, visitors spend more time on your site which reduces the bounce rate. Apart from this, Google considers your content as quality content.

10. Check Crawl Error

Sometimes it happens that Google is unable to crawl your page and shows Crawl error for that page. As a result, your page is not able to rank in Google.

To check Crawl Errors, log into Google Search Console, then click on Coverage . Here you will be able to see the error URL of your site.

11. Perform URL Inspection

Many times it happens that Google does not crawl your page completely and as a result, your content is not able to rank well in Google.

This is why use the URL Inspection option in the Google Search Console tool.

12. Make Your Website Mobile Friendly

More than half of the searches are done by mobile.

If your site is not mobile friendly, it will not rank well in Google. Google gives more value to mobile friendly sites and ranks well in search results.

Google has also developed a mobile-friendly testing tool to check whether your site is mobile-friendly . 

13. Fix Broken Links

Broken links greatly affect user experience and your site ranking. So try to fix them as soon as possible.

And for this, you can use DrLinkCheck.com .

WordPress users can easily find and fix it using the Broken Link Checker plugin. 

14. Move your website to HTTPS

If you use HTTPS (SSL certificate) on your site, it helps to boost your ranking.

Google announced in August 2014 -  HTTPS as a ranking signal .

If you are running your site over HTTP, redirect it immediately to HTTPS. 

But if you do not redirect properly from HTTP to HTTPS, it can affect your site ranking and traffic very badly.

Even in one night your site traffic may be zero.

15. Fix Website Loading Speed

If your site is very fast, it will rank well in Google. 

Google attaches high importance to fast loading site. This is why Google has created the PageSpeed ​​Insights Tool so that you can determine the loading speed of your site.

In addition, you  can use the Page Pingdom  and  GT Matrix tools to check your site speed  .

16.  Create Powerful Backlinks 

The process of creating links is called backlinks. This is a very old Google ranking factor.

But backlinks should be from relevant and well-ranked websites. 

If you create bad and low-quality backlinks for your site, it can hurt your ranking badly.

Also, do not buy backlinks for your site, otherwise, you may face Google Penalty as such backlinks also include low quality and pornographic sites links.

Quick Tips for Creating Backlinks

• Write Quality Content
• Guest Post on another top ranking blog
• Submit your site to Web Directories
• Comment on top ranked blog
• Discussion Use Platforms

17. Write Quality Content

If you do not write a useful and informative blog post for the visitor, no one would like to visit your site and the result is that you are storing garbage on your blog, nothing more.

Always try to write unique and quality content. 

18. Keep Content Length Right

Long content performs better in search engines than any short post.

If you write your blog short post, then your post should be at least 1000 words without any nonsense.

19. Meta Description

This plays an important role in increasing the Click Through Rate (CTR) on your content.

However, Google generally allows writing a meta description of 300 characters.

If you are a WordPress user, you can write good meta descriptions using Yoast SEO.

20. Add Breadcrumb 

Google states that

Google Search uses breadcrumb markup in the body of a web page to categorize the information from the page in search results.

This step is related to off page SEO .

Simply put, promoting your site is called off-page optimization.

The main reason for doing this is to attract the attention of users and search engines.

If you promote after publishing blog posts, it helps to increase your blog traffic.
