8  Powerful  On-­‐page  Optimization  Tips

SEO  Best  Practice  Checklist

Step  4:  Use  short  bullet   lists  

80%  of  internet  users  are  skimmers  and  add  a  few  

keyword  phrases  here  where  applicable.  Your  primary  

keyword  phrase  should  be  at  a  saturation  rate  of  3-­‐7%.  

That’s  12-­‐20  times  for  500  word  article.

Step  8:  Optimize  anchor   text

If  you   include  links  to  internal  pages  make  sure  the  anchor  

text  is  the  primary  keyword  or  keyword  phrase  assigned  to  

that  page.  Don’t  put  too  many  links  in  your  content  

because  this  can  be  distracting.

Step  6:  Optimize  images

Include  at  least  one  image  per  page  and  assign  alt  text  

with  the  primary  keyword  phrase  in  it.  Search  engines  

not  only  crawl  the  text  in  content,  but  they  also  search  

for  keywords  within  your   image  file  names.

Step  1:  Assign  a  primary  keyword  phrase   for  page

Use  the  Google  Keyword  Research  tool  to  verify  

whether  it's  likely  to  be  searched  for.  Modify  the  

keyword   to  suit  phrases  which  have  high  search  

probability  and  low  competition.

Step  3:  Put   the  primary  keyword  phrase  in   the  URL

“www.yourcompanyname.com/primarykeywordphrase or  

“www.primarykeywordphrase.com”.

Step  2:  Add  keyword   to  content

Once  you've   researched  and  validated  the  primary  

keyword  or  keyword  phrase  make  sure  it  appears  in  the  

title  as  well  as  in  the  first  and  last  sentence  of  the  article.  

Step  5:  Optimize  keywords  in  content

Bold  your  primary  keyword  or  keyword  phrase  at  least  

one  time  in  your  content.   Ensure  the  primary  keyword   is  

in  the  URL,  Page  Title,  Alt  Text,  Meta  Data,  Header  Tags  

and  sub  headings  if  applicable.

Step  7:  Use  long  tail  keywords

Use  more  long  tail  keywords   (of  4  or  more  words)  as  

opposed   to  short  phrases  of  two  words  or   less.
