#5 Use your keyword phrase and its synonyms throughout the content

Using them in your headers is superb and when used in the main paragraphs to explain and communicate the ideas you want to put across, you are doing the right things. But do not overdo it. Stuffing the content with the keywords anyhow and too many times can negatively harm your content.

#6. Optimize images for the content

Optimized images load faster and fast-loading pages lead to better ranking. So compress the images, name the images with the title of the content and use the same name or title as the alt text of the image if you are using a WordPress Site.

#7. Manually Index content

After publishing your content, do not wait for Google to index, start the process by updating google with your latest content through the search console.

#8. Use the internal and external link

Link your content to other content on the site which relates to the one you have published. This helps provide additional useful resources to the readers and will keep them longer on the page should they click to read any of them. External links to authoritative sites on the subject add pedigree to your content.  Take a look at this: Google Explains Alt Text for Logos & Buttons
