We are asked this question all the time and the answer is that it’s not one specific thing. There are a number of rules that should be applied to each page and we have created a list of items, all of which contribute to high rankings. Search Engine Results Pages (SERP) essentials…
- Correct page titles and subtitles
- Research your keywords and do not use ambiguous keywords e.g. Just “About Us” is a wasted opportunity. About Artofdata Web designers is better.
- Citation Flow and Trust Flow (Described in the Citation & Trust flow blog and the links below)
- A good quality, informative article with enough words, ideally 300+ “Content is King”. Use a content writer if your English is not good enough or if you just don’t have the time to write articles. Concentrate on what you are good at.
- High quality of grammar and punctuation. Search engines analyse the quality of written content. They use the Flesch readability formula.
- Keyword density (Don’t repeat your keywords)
- Images named correctly with alt tags completed
- Well-constructed friendly URLs
- Correct MetaData (Keywords & Description)
- Outbound links (Citing other website references)
- Page publicity tells other trusted sites your article exists, don’t just wait for the search engines to index it
- Don’t Dilute your search engine keywords and phrases. Don’t sell two different products on the same page
- Easily shareable
- Speed of your site – This is important and large images can slow down your site
- Mobile friendly
- HTTPS
