5 Effective Ways To Improve Your On-Page SEO
In terms of getting a top ranking for certain designated terms in the search engines, off-page elements such as number of incoming links will probably have the biggest effect, but all the off-page search engine optimization (SEO) in the world might not be effective if you do not take care of a few important on-page elements.
This article will describe five important things that your web page should have if you want to get a top ranking in the search engines for a certain keyword phrase.
1. Keyword In The Title Tag
This is very important, and it means that you should only target one keyword phrase per page in order to make sure that this keyword will display prominently in the search engine.
Whenever you search Google and you see the listing for a certain website or web page, it is the text in the title tag that gets displayed as the header for the listing in the search engine.
2. Good Keyword-Relevant Meta Description
Your title tag will be the header for your search listing, but the meta description will be the two lines of text that describe more about the content of your webpage.
Not only do you want to be sure to include your keyword in the description, but you also want to make sure that your search engine listing with your title and meta description create an attractive and good-looking listing so that people will be most likely to click on it.
3. H1 Tag With Keyword
Your H1 tag is your main header for your page and it is also another important tool that search engines will use to determine the relevancy of your content.
By including the same keyword in your main header, you are confirming with the search engine the topic of your web page.
4. Internal Linking Using Keyword Phrase
You should also include internal links from the other pages of your site which point to the page you want to optimize.
It is important that these links are created with the exact keyword phrase as the anchor text for your link, so that the search engine can confirm that this specific web page is about your chosen keyword.
5. Footer Links With Keyword
If your website has a footer where you include things like the Contact Us page, you can include a link in your footer with your chosen keyword as the anchor text linking to the page you want to optimize.
Including keywords in your anchor text can be a great way to help search engine bots determine the relevancy of your pages, plus these footer links will be included in every page of your website.
By following these five tips, you will absolutely maximize your on-page search engine optimization potential, and you will ensure that all of your link building efforts are as effective as possible.
