Here are 10 top tips which can help improve your visibility online!
Number 1.
You should use tools like Google Keyword Planner or other specialist SEO software to find relevant keywords that your target audience is searching for.
Once you have a list of priority keywords, you should choose a combination of these based on those with high search volume and low competition to increase your chances of them working well.
Number 2.
You should optimise your on-page SEO. This is where pages on the website should be optimised with relevant keywords, including primary keywords in key elements like your page title description or header tags.
Moving to Hot Tip Number 3.

You should consider writing interesting articles that answer your audience’s questions and help solve their problems. You should keep Content updated and relevant.
Top tip number 4 is to improve your loading speed.
Loading speed is definitely a ranking factor in Google’s algorithms and a slower website leads to a higher bounce rate and poor user experience.
You could consider optimising images and minimising code to help improve load times.
Top tip number 5, is to optimise for mobile devices, the majority of web traffic now comes from mobile devices such as an iPhone so you should ensure that your website uses a response design and automatically adjusts the website to fit different screen sizes.
Google now prioritises those websites with Mobile-first indexing, which means that it uses the mobile version of your site for ranking primarily.
Top tip number 6 is to improve your internal linking.

You should try to include the target keyword in both the title and the description and make the meta description persuasive to encourage a higher click-through rate.
