1. Ensure Compliance with On-Page SEO Best Practices

One sure way of ranking high in search engines is to adopt On-Page SEO best practices for your web pages. By doing this, you’ll optimize your site and make pages comply with current and future SEO rules.

For your website, make sure you have an SSL certificate installed, and make concerted effort to optimize your page load speed. Sites with faster load speeds are more likely to rank higher, and retain visitors than the slower sites.

Also, use internal links as moderately as possible (linking your content together) and links that redirect to authority sites. Finally for your site, consciously build links to improve your site's authority.

Every page on your website should target a particular keyword to rank for. By doing this, you will be optimizing each page for particular keywords to rank for.
