1) Content

In the SEO world you often hear, “Content is King.” The importance of frequently using carefully selected keywords in clear, legible text can not be overstated. Many experts say a site rich in content is one of the most essential elements to SEO success and therefore the more relevant content you have, the better your chances will be of obtaining a high ranking.

2) Page Titles and Headings

Page titles, subtitles and content headings are primary indicators that show the search engines what your page is about and how to properly index it. Therefore it is crucial that these texts are optimized with the proper keywords.

3) Inbound Links

External links to your site, particularly from sites related to your industry, are a prime ranking factor for Google. Acquire as many quality inbound links to your site as possible. The more relevant they are – the better.

4) Regularly Updated Relevant Content

Frequent site updates show the search engines you care about your site, boosting their confidence in it and therefore boosting your rankings. Blogs or news sections built into the site are a great way to continually add relevant content.

5) Site Map

Make sure your website has a site map with internal links. This not only contributes to internal linking on your site but helps Google and users alike navigate your site easily and understand what it is about.
