The vast majority of people are looking for information in search engines, in particular in Google. Moreover, a person usually doesn\u2019t go beyond 3-4 pages of search results. Therefore, in order for your site to get on the first page of Google, you should learn more about SEO <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> search engine optimization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing to know about your site on Weblium is that it has a lot of SEO settings by default. This is a big advantage since you don\u2019t have to do boring and technical work, for which companies and individuals usually hire an SEO specialist. However, the default settings are not enough to rank your site high. You are competing with hundreds and thousands of websites in search results. The more you optimize your site for SEO, the more likely it is that you will have a better ranking in search engines.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this article,

keyword and competitive research for your business niche<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first stage is preparatory. You should study the competitors, make a list of keywords, think over your site structure, and collect all the data in one table. It\u2019s even better to do this before you start creating a site. Then you won\u2019t need to make changes to existing pages.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Explore your business niche, find competitors with similar products and services on the first pages of Google.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examine their websites and find out which keywords they use to promote each page. Keywords are words and phrases by which users search for products and services. Quickly evaluate the number of visitors on competitors\u2019 sites with the SimilarWeb extension.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a result, you will get a list of all the pages of the selected competitors\u2019 sites and the keywords that are used there. Your task is to do even better than competitors did.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Expand the ready website structure, think of even more keywords, and increase the number of pages. Consequently, you will get an extensive table with page names and keywords that you will use on the pages on your site.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Competitive analysis should be used in the future repeatedly, especially when you need to create additional pages on your site.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, when you have the structure, the existing pages, and the list of keywords, it\u2019s time to start working directly with your Weblium website.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_meta_tags_to_your_site\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add meta tags to your site<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General info \u2192 Title and description | Pages \u2192 Settings \u2192 SEO \u2192 Edit page info<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you should do is to add meta tags to your site.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meta tags are HTML tags that give search engines more information about your site. They help you promote the site to the most relevant search requests. They allow a potential visitor to see the necessary information in search results, making your site description as informative as possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This information will tell search engines what your business is about. It will be displayed on the search results page on Google, Bing, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To set it up, open the Settings in your account, select the General info tab and add Site title and Site description:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Write a site title, including the name of your product or services in it. Fill in the Site description field for your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that less is more. Don\u2019t write too much in the tags.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently used <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">title size<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> on Google is 30-70 characters. The optimal length of the title, which allows you to effectively use key phrases and additional text, can be considered 70-80 characters.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The standard<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> site description length<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for Google is 150-160 characters. The maximum length of the description tag can be up to 300 characters. As in the case with the title, the words indicated in the \u201ctail\u201d of the description and hidden in the results of the issue can affect the ranking results. Therefore, the description tag can exceed the recommended length of 160\u2013170 characters. The main thing is to specify the keywords at the beginning of the description, placing information in a meta tag from the beginning to the end as it is prioritized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We recommend adding a unique page title and description for each page you\u2019ve got.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For that, go to the Page settings and switch to the SEO tab:<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11979\" src=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-1600x840.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"885\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-1600x840.png 1600w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-800x420.png 800w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-320x168.png 320w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-2048x1075.png 2048w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/SEO-418x219.png 418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/span>Click on the Edit page info, and add a page title, description, and keywords:<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-11976\" src=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-1600x840.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"885\" height=\"465\" srcset=\"https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-1600x840.png 1600w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-800x420.png 800w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-320x168.png 320w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-768x403.png 768w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-1536x806.png 1536w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-2048x1075.png 2048w, https:\/\/${domain}\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/Page-Title-418x219.png 418w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next thing is to use keywords in H1 (post titles) and H2 (post subtitles) right in the text content of your website.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Weblium SEO tip:<\/strong> it doesn\u2019t matter how many H1 you have on your site. Google has recently stated that sites can have a few H1. Our SEO specialists conducted an experiment and rested assured that the number of titles doesn\u2019t affect Google ranking and can even improve it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, don\u2019t forget about meta tags on the blog.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add the Blog feed to your site and create a new post. To optimize your blog post for SEO, go to the Post settings. Then write the title of your article, specify the keywords, and come up with a short post description.<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Add_relevant_and_unique_content_to_your_website\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Add relevant and unique content to your website<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It should be the #1 rule to follow if you want to become a friend of Google. Don\u2019t steal copies on other sites\u2014tell people about yourself in your own words. Keep your content unique and grammatically correct.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be appreciated by Google\u2019s robots, each page should have a high-quality and informative copy that is tailored to a single search query and fully consistent with the purpose of the page.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your site visitor all the information about your service or product, tell him how to place an order, how much it costs, why your products and services are better than the competitors\u2019 ones. Having visited your website, the user should not have any more questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, your web copy should be structured and lead the user to the CTA (call to action). A sufficient text length on each page is 800-2,000 words.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can order a compelling web copy from proficient copywriters, or you can write everything yourself.
