1. Add internal links

Internal links are amazing. Link other websites, other blog posts, statistics, or anything else you make reference to. Linking other sites will affiliate your two pages, which makes your page all the more likely to be found. It is super easy to hyperlink pages and so worth it.

2. Use LOTS of tags

Hashtags can be a perfect way for your content to show up in someone's search. On social media, too many can be a little much, I'd stick to between 5 and 15, but when on your site or blogging platform add as many as you can. Make sure they are relevant and general enough that someone would likely search for it. This will take you five minutes tops. Seriously.

3. Have solid meta descriptions

Yay for meta descriptions! Your meta description is what shows up under your headline on a Google search. Often people forget about these or leave them blank. Don't do that! It can be short, just a sentence or two, but it's the first impression your article makes on a searcher, so make it count. Like I said, it takes almost no time, but it will help you out immensely.

4. Photos, photos, photos

Photos come with their own tags and keywords, so the more photos you have, the more people will find your article! Have you ever searched for a photo and when you click on it, it takes you to a website? That's what can happen with photos on your page! Find photos that are related to your topic and add a few! Plus, photos can make your page look more appealing and break up large sections of text that look intimidating to read.

5. Keywords are key

Keywords are the couple of words that your article is about. Use these words often in your writing, and it will help your piece get found by people searching for things with that word in it. For example, this article is about SEO, so I'm going to try and use the term SEO often, so when someone searches for ways to improve their SEO, they will get this article. SEO. SEO. SEO.
