Here is the list of 7 on page SEO factors to increase content visibility.

1-Blog Post Title: The most important and prime on page SEO factor is the blog post title, writing SEO friendly title will not only increase its visibility but will also bring organic traffic to your blog. But it is necessary that while writing a blog post title

2- Post-Permalink Structure: Permalink is one that appears in the address bar. So try to keep address relevant and precise so that search engines can easily crawl to rank it higher. Because this is purely for the search engines and most of the top search engines will consider it as an important part of a blog post,  also  keep in mind that while choosing post permalink structure:

  • Use the targeted keyword in the beginning (just as in the case of Post Title)
  • Do not use the stop words ( like special characters, numbers, at,to…etc)
  • Make it precise and search engine friendly

3-Heading Tags: Heading tags should be throughout the blog post to make it visible, both for the reader and search engine.

You may use H1 to H6 tags, usually, the title is in the H1 tag, but use heading tags with care and try not to repeat them, because it may consider black hat SEO.

4-Keyword Density: Keyword density of the targeted keywords should be kept not more than 2% because exceeding may consider as keyword stuffing and may penalize your content since you are over-optimizing the content. So use it wisely, you can use the keyword in the first paragraph and the last paragraph and make it italic, bold and underline.

5-Meta Description and Meta Tags: Whenever we search something in Google then it consider two main things first are the Blog Post Title and the second one is the meta description, so try to write meta description precise and use relevant keyword along with the targeted keyword. Also, keep its length to 160 characters. For meta tags use relevant keywords from the blog post and use them as meta tags, but use only two to three and do not stuff it.

6- Use Relevant Images: Someone said “a picture paints a thousand words”, yes it is true, by adding images will not only make content more clear but will also make its rankings better. Use the targeted keyword in the name and Alt tag of the image. Since images may increase the loading time so try to optimize them or use some reliable CDN ( Content Delivery Network)

7-Internal and External Linking: To engage the user and make visibility better it is recommended to interlink the article with other interesting and relevant articles of your blog. Also, link the blog with other rusted and relevant websites.

For this try not to use exact match anchor text, because this may invite Google Algorithm to hit your blog search rankings and traffic.
