Google sends its Googlebot to our website. Google bot crawls all the pages by coming to the website. If there is no error and the content is unique, then Googlebot will index the crawled page in Google.

And the Google search engine provides the most relevant page out of those indexed pages to the user. Google search engine provides only those posts whose page has been properly SEO and quality content has been written.

What is SEO?

That is, we do SEO on our website to get our posts shown in the search engine. There are three types of SEO.

Through these three types of SEO, the article can be made SEO-friendly.

Doing Keyword Research

You have to do keyword research according to the topic of the article (the topic in which you want to write). 

Keyword: Choose keywords with high volume and low competition. Or you can also choose the keyword that your competitors have used on that topic.

Or search that topic in Google search and see how the user is searching that topic. This is an easy way to search for keywords.

Suppose your topic is "Population of the country". On searching, you will see some search queries. This is the search query that the user searches. You can choose keywords as per your choice.

Always choose long-tail keywords only. You can also use keyword search tools to select keywords. Like Google keyword planner, SEMrush, Ubersuggest, Bing, etc.

Using Keywords Correctly

After keyword research, you have to use the keywords properly. Do not do keyword stuffing. Articles get ranked quickly with the right use of keyword placement. 

In the article given below, there are five such places where you have to use keywords.

• In Title 
• In Permalink
• In Meta description 
• At least one internal link 
• and at least one external link

Title: Try to put the keyword at the beginning of the title. Write the title in five to six words. So that the content can be known from the title.

Permalink: A page URL is automatically generated whenever a post is published. Make sure that the URL contains the keyword or not. To create a permalink in your own way, use a custom link.

Meta description: Meta description is that part of the article which is the basic part of the description written in the article. Be sure to use keywords in that part.

Internal link: Link to another page through an internal link and use keywords. This will allow Googlebot to crawl the page easily.

External Link: Connect your page with another website through an external link. Use keywords in external links.

link-building

Link-building is a great way to make an article SEO-friendly. Whatever page you have related to this article, link that page to this page.

Through link building, you can inform the user about other informative pages on your site. Remember, link only those pages which are related to this topic.

Write Unique and Quality Content

Keep the content of the article unique. Do not copy-paste any. The article will not be ranked due to plagiarism in the content. You can use a plagiarism checker to check the content.

You can search about the topic, take ideas from it. Like from Wikipedia.

Make the content or article informative. Write the thing said in the article in simple words, write in short sentences. Give only the information related to the topic.

Use header tags correctly

Use header tags i.e. h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 tags correctly. The h1 tag is very heavy. Googlebot crawls this tag of the article to find out what the topic of this content is about and what information is given.

Therefore it becomes imperative to use keywords in the h1 tag. The h1 tag in blogger is the title of the blog. But in WordPress the post title is h1. When the heading is h2 in blogger.

Creating Labels

To make the article SEO-friendly, it is very important to create labels. Always divide the article into categories. This is an important part of SEO.

While creating labels, keep two things in mind. The labels should be related to the topic, and if the labels are of two or three words, no space ( _ ) should be given between the words. Yes, you can use capital letters between two words if you want.

As the label of the post is - Tech News, you can keep Technews or TechNews. Do not keep Tech News.

Generate Permalink

The title of the blog post is the URL of the page ie Permalink. This link is generated automatically.

But sometimes the URL of the page is not generated correctly due to the large title. That's why we have to use the custom permalink.

These problems are more for Hindi websites. Therefore, custom permalinks have to be used. To get more information about the permalink, you can read my permalink post.

Write meta description

You must have seen that three parts of the page being search engine friendly appears. One, the URL of the website, second, the title of the page, and third, a small description appears.

This description is a meta description. In the search description, the original part of the article has to be written within 150 words. Keywords must be used in these 150 words.

Something like this has to be written in the meta description to understand as soon as he reads what topic this page is about and about which things information has been given.

Optimizing the image

Use the image to make the most complete. And also optimize that image. Use only non-copyright images.

Create your own images for the new website. Use text in the image. To optimize the image, describe the image through Alt Text.

Googlebot does not understand the image and video, which article is related to this image. Therefore describe the image through Alt Text. But remember Alt Text should be short and meaningful.

Making Articles Mobile-Friendly

Google offers mobile-friendly pages. So it is important to make the page mobile-friendly.

The mobile-friendly page simply means that after opening your page on the mobile device, every detail of the page should be normal. Like images, text, etc.

Many times it happens that the image is visible on the desktop correctly but the image on the mobile does not look like that. To test the page on your mobile. You can also use CSS code.

Indexing and submitting posts

After publishing the article, the page URL has to be indexed and submitted to the Google search console. 

Through this process, you are giving information to Google that you have created a new page.

After the post is indexed, you have to submit it in the sitemap. After successful submission, your page will be indexed in Google.

To find out whether the index has happened, you can see it by pasting the URL of the page in Google search. 

If you do not know how to index and submit the post, then you can read our How to index blog posts.

Note: Even if small websites and website posts with fewer pages are not indexed, Googlebot crawls and indexes the pages present in the website.

Article length

It is not fixed what the length of an article should be. This completely depends on the topic of the article. But yes, content less than 500 words is considered thin content.

But this also does not mean that the length of the content should be increased unnecessarily. Make the content informative. Subtopic can be used. You should do content planning.

The content of the article should be according to the headline. Give as much information as you can on your topic. Therefore, the length of the article may vary depending on your information.
