#1. On-Page SEO

In the On-Page SEO, you just have to properly design the website. Your website has to be completely user-friendly.

First of all, your template should be simple and clean. No extra widgets. Your content should also be related to any keyword that is searched more on Google.

How to do On-Page SEO?

I will tell you only those things which are necessary for On-Page SEO. Some things you should keep in mind very well. Which I will mention further. 

1. Website navigation

Whenever the visitors come to your website, it should be easy to go from page to page on your website. It should not be that they do not get your contact page or the page they want. 

2. Post Url or Permalink

This is a very important thing to be considered because permalink is the thing which helps to rank up your website. Your permalink should match your keywords and it should be very short and sweet. 

3. Title Tag

You should put both the title of your post or the title of your website after much research. After doing the full research on your keyword, put the title tag so that visitors see it and click on your website immediately.

How to create a title tag:
This is very simple, use focused keywords in your title tag. Do not create a title tag of more than 65 words because Google also only shows up to 65 words.

4. Website Speed

The speed of your website is also very important to grow. If the speed is low then visitors will be left without visiting. According to a survey, visitors wait only 5-6 seconds.

This has a bad effect on your ranking. Google realizes that your website is not so good, which is why visitors are going back. You may wonder what to do now. 

I am giving some suggestions here which can increase the speed of your website.
  • Do not use over-sized images on the website.
  • Do not use more plugins.
  • Your theme or template should be very simple and attractive.
  • Use WP-Super-Cache and W3 cache plugins.

5. ALT Tag

what is alt tag? When you place an image in an article, it also ranks in Google Image's search engine. But this only happens when you use Alt Tag. 

In the alt tag, you can enter a famous keyword for your image. 

If you use Blogger, then there is an option of image properties. You can apply the ALT tag from there. Alt tags have a different option in WordPress.

6. Internal linking

What is Internal Link? Linking different pages of your website to each other is called internal linking. This leads to traffic from one of our posts to another. 

7. Content, Headings, and Keyword

Content:
The content of your website should not be copied from anywhere. By doing this, Google detects you, then your website will never rank. The article should always be more than 600 words. It is also very good for SEO.

 Headings:
Heading and sub-headings greatly affect the Seo. First, you should have the heading and then all the sub-headings. Headings and sub-headings should also be mentioned in paragraphs and remember that keywords should be bold.

 Keywords:
First of all, you should work on such keywords that have low competition and have high CPC. Keywords should be mentioned from place to place in the article. And whatever important keywords are, make them bold. So that users and Google can easily search for keywords.

#2. Off-Page SEO

After designing the website well and writing good articles, your job is to promote the website. Promoting your website in different ways is called off-page SEO.
