Let's look...
There are three recognised branches of SEO.
-On-Page SEO
-Off-Page SEO
-Technical SEO
Each of these branches represents a crucial part of your strategy to rank higher in SERPs.
There is not a way around it; implementing the three branches of SEO in the best way possible is how you can get your articles and blog posts to the top of the SERPs (unless, of course, you are planning to pay for ads).
Aspects of On-Page Optimization
Content Length: Although the length of the content you write depends on what keywords you target, it is generally safe to say that longer content ranks higher in the SERPs. Therefore, the content of your blog posts should be long enough to answer the searcher's queries in detail.
Titles and Metas: Why are title tags important?
Title tags are a major factor in helping search engines understand what your page is about, and they are the first impression many people have of your page. Title tags are used in three key places: (1) search engine results pages (SERPs), (2) web browsers, and (3) social networks.
Media: Articles that use different media (such as images, videos, audios) do
rank higher in the search results pages. That's because users stay
longer to analyze and engage with such media. It also makes the content
more readable.
Keywords: Behind every blog post you write should be a comprehensive
keyword research phase. When you optimize both text and media to target
the right keywords, your content reaches the desired audience. Not
only that, but the search engines will have a better understanding of what
that blog post is about.
Content Form: The length of the content is not the only thing that you
optimise but its form as well. The way your content looks is as important as
how valuable the information that it contains. Therefore, making sure that
your content form matches how your audience likes to read online content
should also be part of On-Page Optimisation efforts.
Outbound links: No one can confirm or deny whether the links you have on
a page harm or boost your SEO. However, everyone agrees that you should have a couple on each blog post.
