7. Create Quality Content that is Relevant to Your Readers
A search engine is used for one thing only and that's to find relevant content on the internet.
Readers will stay longer on your site if they find that you produce content that completely addresses their concerns.
Relevant content is original, well-structured, organized, and fully addresses a problem. Also, you will find relevant content that is conversational, scannable, easy-to-understand and contains descriptive images.
Create content that is relevant, so Google can rank you higher in your niche's keyword.
Conclusion
Your search ranking may not be worth celebrating, but there's surely something that can be done about it.
Google updates its search algorithm frequently to ensure better search results for users.
The only way to remain relevant even in the midst of these upgrades is to apply SEO best practices for your website.
These practices include targeting less competitive keywords, use of SSL certificate, faster loading speed, and creating relevant content. With these practices and others highlighted in this post, you are sure to experience better search rankings.
One more important thing to do is always get familiar with Google’s algorithm updates, so you can keep yourself updated and blog in the right direction.
I have about 18 posts on 2 websites, half of which are indexed. Honestly, I don't know how, all I did was title SEO, included the title in the 1st paragraph and wherever possible throughout the post without KW stuffing.
If my memory serves me the descriptions are on auto, after that ??????. This is all I’ve done thus far. Can you recommend any next step, maybe a training to follow or, does WA training cover this - currently I’ve just started lesson 3.
I am now following your success :)

Great post!
My desktop speed is ok but my mobile page speed is about 35-40. Google states that my images need to be compressed. I use the Kraken Image optimizer plugin and I don't really put more than 5 or 6 images in a post, typically thumbnails. Is there a better image compression plugin that you can recommend? All my website pages always load very quickly on my iPhone, and I've tried it in three different states.
Thanks,
