On-Page Search Engine Optimization

On-Page Search Engine Optimization

The purpose why website owners engage in search engine optimization or SEO
is to have their websites on the top positions of Search Engine Results
Pages, or SERPs. This can be done for specific keywords and is grouped into
two categories: on-page and off-page optimization. The latter can be
achieved by creating back links to the website. The link will help you
increase your site reputation and is very crucial for landing in the first
page in search results. But the basic element of optimization is the page
itself. The on-page optimization is an integral part of search engine
optimization because it is the one that describes the content of the website
and emphasizes the main keyword you are targeting.

It starts with the identification of keywords

When it comes to SEO, the very first thing you need to do is to pick your
keyword. You need to look for targeted words or phrases that are connected
to your website or your business. By doing this, you will achieve high
search volume. As a rule, you need to optimize each page for only one
keyword since the main goal of SEO is to highlight a specific keyword in
order to relay a message to your visitors and to the search engine what your
site is offering. Aside from this, SEO will guide you in reaching the top
position in search results for your keyword. On-page optimization is
actually a no-brainer and website owner can achieve the search results
position they desire given the right moves.

Rights ways in using keywords

To be successful in on-page search engine optimization, you need to put the
main keyword at relevant visible and invisible (Meta) page elements. The
best thing to do is to include informative, entertaining and readable
content so your visitors can know what your website is all about and can
easily find the information they need. Your quality content should also
mention your keyword at least 2 to 4 times. Once you have written your
website's content with your targeted keyword, you also need to think of a
page title that will also contain the keyword. Then, add a few header tags
(h1, h2, h3, and so on) in order to label paragraphs. And lastly, it is
crucial to be careful when using your keyword. Check the word frequency in
order to avoid the excessive usage of the word. As mentioned, 2 or 4
mentions would be sufficient.

Doing all these will not automatically put you on the first page of search
engines. Google in particular like clear pages that are informative and easy
to navigate. The latter can be achieved with the simple menu from which you
can reach any page on the website in just one or two clicks.

The purpose of search engine optimization is to tell everyone what your
website is really about. For websites engaged in business, search engine
optimization will help them get as many traffic as possible. The number of
visitors of the website will equate to the success of their business.
Optimization is a cost effective way of introducing your products and
services online. If you are really interested in performing SEO on your
business or personal website, then it is advised that you follow the right
techniques and practices in search engine optimization.
