This, in turn, makes it easier for you to improve your search engine rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-top-seo-on-page-factors-that-affect-your-search-rankings\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top_SEO_On-Page_Factors_That_Affect_Your_Search_Rankings\"><\/span>Top SEO On-Page Factors That Affect Your Search Rankings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To create a solid search engine optimization strategy, you can\u2019t ignore on-page SEO. Here are the factors that affect on-page SEO:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-create-quality-content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Create_Quality_Content\"><\/span>1. Create Quality Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first part of your on-page SEO strategy should be to focus on creating quality content. That\u2019s because you can\u2019t engage your audience if your content isn\u2019t interesting, engaging, or shareworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what counts as high-quality content?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Firstly, always create original content. It\u2019s great to take inspiration from other popular sites. But just copy what they are doing. Create original content that is authentic and in your brand\u2019s voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secondly, pick topics that touch upon the pain points of your audience. If you are answering their questions, your content is likely to engage them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, get creative with the way you present your content. Instead of just relying on text, mix up the elements on your web pages. Along with text, you can also include photos, videos, GIFs, and podcasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-craft-concise-meta-descriptions\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Craft_Concise_Meta_Descriptions\"><\/span>2. Craft Concise Meta Descriptions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another important on-page SEO factor that you should consider is your meta descriptions. For the uninitiated, these are the text snippets that you see below a page\u2019s title in the SERPs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search engines use the meta description to get the list of the content on a webpage. So, it\u2019s essential to incorporate relevant keywords naturally in the meta description.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Craft-Concise-Meta-Descriptions-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Craft-Concise-Meta-Descriptions-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\" alt=\"Craft Concise Meta Descriptions On Page SEO Factors\" class=\"wp-image-19187\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Image via Google<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your descriptions need to be short and concise. That\u2019s because Google allows only <a href=\"https:\/\/yoast.com\/shorter-meta-descriptions\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">150-170 characters<\/a> to be displayed in that section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your meta description is longer than the word limit, it is likely to be cut short by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Amazon\u2019s meta descriptions are longer than the word limit, they have managed to use all of their important keywords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that your keywords aren\u2019t cut off, include them at the beginning of your meta descriptions.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sb-related-links-box\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold; color:#333333;\">HANDPICKED RELATED CONTENT:<\/p><div class=\"sb-related-links-data\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/tools-for-building-a-profitable-sales-funnel\/\">41 of the Best Tools for Building a Profitable Sales Funnel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><span data-sheets-value=\"{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:&quot;12 Landing Page Best Practices for Boosting Conversions&quot;}\" data-sheets-userformat=\"{&quot;2&quot;:1313281,&quot;3&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:0},&quot;12&quot;:0,&quot;14&quot;:{&quot;1&quot;:2,&quot;2&quot;:1136076},&quot;21&quot;:1,&quot;23&quot;:1}\" data-sheets-hyperlink=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/landing-page-best-practices-boosting-conversions\/\"><a class=\"in-cell-link\" href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/landing-page-best-practices-boosting-conversions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 Landing Page Best Practices for Boosting Conversions<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-write-relevant-title-tags\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Write_Relevant_Title_Tags\"><\/span>3. Write Relevant Title Tags<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>All of your pages must have appropriate title tags that communicate what your web page is about. Not only does it give context to search engine bots, but it also helps users. It\u2019s recommended that you use keywords in your title tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like a meta description, Google allows only a limited number of characters in title tags. Your title tag should not exceed more than 50-60 characters. If it does exceed the word limit, the remaining characters will not be visible.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Write-Relevant-Title-Tags-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"85\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Write-Relevant-Title-Tags-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\" alt=\"Write Relevant Title Tags On Page SEO Factors\" class=\"wp-image-19193\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Image via Google<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So it is also recommended that you use the keywords at the beginning of your title tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, in the screenshot above, the keyword is \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/blog\/ppc-tools\/\">best PPC tools<\/a>.\u201d It has been incorporated into the title, close to the beginning in a natural way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-write-descriptive-urls\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Write_Descriptive_URLs\"><\/span>4. Write Descriptive URLs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like meta descriptions and page titles, URLs also help the search engine bots and users understand what a page is about. So, obviously, your keywords should be a part of your URLs as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s crucial to keep your URLs short. According to former Google tech expert, Matt Cutts, search engines prefer <a href=\"https:\/\/mytasker.com\/blog\/seo-interview-questions-and-answers\/\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">URLs that are only 3-5 words long<\/a>. Keep this in mind while writing your URLs.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Write-Descriptive-URLs-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"106\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Write-Descriptive-URLs-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\" alt=\"Write Descriptive URLs On Page SEO Factors\" class=\"wp-image-19192\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Image via Google<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You need to give a gist of the topic yet utilize very few words for it.

By using internal links on your website pages, you can make sure users spend more time on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When users read your blog post, you can redirect them to other pages on your site with internal links. This strategy can decrease your bounce rate and boost the average time that users spend on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both of these factors are crucial for SEO and can help to get your website pages indexed.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Use-Internal-Links-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"107\" src=\"https:\/\/shanebarker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/Use-Internal-Links-On-Page-SEO-Factors.png\" alt=\"Use Internal Links On Page SEO Factors\" class=\"wp-image-19191\" title=\"\"><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>Image via <a href=\"https:\/\/moz.com\/learn\/seo\/anchor-text\" target=\"blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Moz<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moz, for example, uses this on-page SEO factor on their blog.
