On-Page SEO Checklist: 8 Things to Fix on Every Page
On-page SEO is everything you control on the page itself. Here's the whole list, one or two lines each. Tomorrow I'll go through every one properly. 1. Title tag The headline people click in Google. Put your main keyword and the city near the front, and keep it short so it doesn't get cut off. 2. Meta description The short text under the title in search results. It doesn't help you rank directly,…
Title tags serve as the clickable headline in Google search results. Include your main keyword and the location at the beginning, keeping it concise to avoid being cut off.
Meta descriptions are the brief text below the title in search results. Although they don't directly impact rankings, a well-written one can entice more clicks.
URLs should be short and easy to understand. Opt for a format like /dentist-kaithal rather than /page?id=4821.
Headings consist of one H1 that encapsulates the page's content. Utilize H2 and H3 tags to segment the remaining content into distinct sections.
The content must directly address the user's search query using straightforward language. If the answer is buried within the text, revise it for better visibility.
Incorporate your primary keyword naturally within the title, H1, and the opening paragraph. Related terms will appear organically. Avoid overusing the same keyword excessively.
Ensure all images on the page are optimized for fast loading speeds. Additionally, provide alt text that clearly describes the image in plain language.
Internal links should connect related pages within your website. When creating link text, describe the destination clearly. For example, "Our dental implant service" is preferable to "click here."
