One of the last things to do is to add tags and categories.
Add your keywords into the tags and then add your post to the relevant categories.
Doing this just adds more ways that Google uses to rank and categorize your content.
In addition to that it adds to the userability of your website and helps your readers find more relevant content.
Since adding tags to my posts I have seen that my readers use this regularly to move between content. I am sure this has added to me having a better bounce rate!

Thanks Lynne, but I am a bit confused now. I did just learn that the keyword does not need to be in the main title. But if you then add the keyword to the AIO SEO title section (and make the title different from the one that actually shows up on your post) it could be a boring title again. I thought that what you put in the AIO SEO sections is what would show up in the search.
I don't want my boring title that nobody will click on showing up in the searches.
I have really been struggling with this because all of my keywords are quite long (3-6 words), often questions. There is no way to write a catchy title that also has the keywords without it becoming a run on sentence.
Another thing, someone (can't remember who) said to only focus on one keyword per article. Don't get fixated on adding other keywords. But I think you are suggesting we should look at other keywords.
I am starting to think (since I am not really making much money) that I am going to just try writing without focusing on keywords. So many of my competitors articles that rank on the first page don't seem to even focus on keywords. They appear here and there, but it seems very natural and not planned out. Yet they are still on the first page.
What to do, what to do???

Perfect timing Lynne, as I want to get my latest post out before Noon today so I've gone over your training here.
All the very best,
Pete.
