On-page SEO refers to the practice of optimizing individual web pages to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. It involves various elements within your website that you can control directly. 

1. Title Tags

  • Include Primary Keywords: Ensure your title tags include relevant keywords and accurately describe the page content.
  • Keep It Concise: Aim for 50-60 characters to ensure it displays properly in search results.
  • Branding: Include your brand name where appropriate.

2. Meta Descriptions

  • Craft Compelling Descriptions: Write meta descriptions that entice users to click through from search results. Include primary keywords and a clear call to action.
  • Length: Keep it under 155 characters to avoid truncation in search results.

3. Headings (H1, H2, H3, etc.)

  • H1 Tag: Use a single H1 tag for your main page title, incorporating primary keywords.
  • Subheadings: Use H2, H3, etc., to structure content and make it easier to read. Include secondary keywords where relevant.

4. URL Structure

  • Use Descriptive URLs: Create clean, descriptive URLs that include keywords and are easy to read.
  • Avoid Special Characters: Stick to hyphens (-) instead of underscores (_) and avoid unnecessary parameters.

5. Content Optimization

  • Quality Content: Ensure your content is informative, valuable, and well-written for your audience.
  • Keyword Placement: Use keywords naturally within your content, especially in the first 100 words, headings, and throughout the text.
  • Avoid Keyword Stuffing: Don’t overuse keywords; focus on natural language and readability.

6. Internal Linking

  • Link to Relevant Pages: Use internal links to connect related content on your site, helping users and search engines navigate.
  • Use Descriptive Anchor Text: Ensure anchor text is descriptive and relevant to the linked page.

7. Image Optimization

  • Alt Text: Add descriptive alt text to images, including relevant keywords where appropriate. This helps with accessibility and SEO.
  • File Names: Use descriptive file names for images.

  • Mobile Usability: Check that all elements, including buttons and forms, are easy to use on mobile devices.

9. Page Speed

10. User Experience (UX)

  • Engaging Layout: Design your pages for easy navigation and a positive user experience.
  • Clear Calls to Action: Include clear, actionable buttons or links to guide users toward desired actions (e.g., purchases, sign-ups).

11. Schema Markup

12. Canonical Tags

  • Avoid Duplicate Content: Use canonical tags to indicate the preferred version of a page when similar content exists across multiple URLs.

13. Social Sharing Integration

  • Social Buttons: Include social sharing buttons to encourage users to share your content, which can drive traffic and increase visibility.

14. Secure and Accessible Website
