3 Things Your Webpage Must Have for Proper SEO

In order to beat your competition, your webpage must have certain things done properly. Here are 3 things you must do to make sure your webpage is properly SEO'd.

You must have your main keywords you intend that page to rank for in the title tag. The title tag is what controls the text at the top of the browser and the browser tab for the webpage you are viewing. Just go to any webpage and look at the browser tab and the top frame of the browser and you will see the text I am talking about. You must have your main keywords at least once in that area. Don't just list your keywords though, make up a nice human readable description for the webpage where the keywords appear in the first few words of it.

The next thing you must do is have your chosen keywords in the H1 tags. This is usually your page heading, title, or attention getting statement. The text that appears in the H1 tags is usually at the top and it is usually a larger font than the rest of the page. H1 tags can also be for your subheadings, however, they are usually put into H2 tags which should contain a keyword or keywords related to your main keywords.

The next is to have your main keywords listed several times in your page content. You want to have your main keywords listed in the first sentence or two of your page as well as throughout the rest of the page. This is because some search engines will pick up the first paragraph of the page instead of what is in the meta tags. The object is to give the search engines as much yummy stuff to munch on as possible, but don't overdo it. If your keyword density is too high it will look like "keyword stuffing" and search engines don't like that because it looks unnatural. Just make sure your main keywords are listed a few times and some related keywords are listed a few times throughout the page. How many times your keywords should be listed depends on the amount of text on your page. We will get further into keyword density in another post.

This is certainly not everything you should to properly SEO your page but if you just do these 3 things you should have a good portion of your competition beat, depending on your niche and the SEO knowledge of your competition.
