On Page SEO

On Page SEO simply refers to the text and content on your web site pages.

KEYWORDS

Keywords are build in our website. They are very important in terms of SEO as those are words that your potential clients are searching for. In order to improve our possition on  the search engine organic (unpaid) search result page, we need to build in our website RELEVANT and important keywords.

In order to pick good key words we need to look at Google Adwords Keyword Tool which will help us find out what are the most popular and searchable keywords.

As we can see it is very important to keep the description concise with relevant terms as potential customers are not going to click on the description and read more. Everything has to be written and explained without the need to click to read more.  In order to boost SEO we can also add some relevant keywords into Meta Data.

ALT TAGS

For SEO purposes it is very important to tag all images on a website. SEO responds to txt so the more revelant text and content on your website the better. Images used in websites are not picked up and indexed by search engine crawlers, so if your website uses a lot of images, it could suffer in the search engine rankings simply because they can’t understand much of your content. This is just a consmetic thing to do and all you need is to just build it into your website. Ashley Robinson on her website heartifb.com explains broader what Alt Tags are and how to use them.

CONTENT

Every text on your website matters. Every Page has to have a proper title and keywords. It all can seem quite easy and obvious but it is significant to make sure that you take the full advantages of on page SEO.  You have to make sure you are using relevant content. You also have to be original – Google likes originality and that will definately helps you with SEO purposes. And remember, content needs to match your consumers’ vocabulary.
