Before going to point I want to divert your some attention towards keyword monitoring. First you need to monitor your keyword on regularly basis. If you’re not sure how to check, what keywords you’re ranking for? Then, you can use the same sort of technique Which I will follow also. I have use a tool called SERP Robot. I use just cost a few bucks ($4.99/month to monitor 300 keywords/month) to monitor my keyword rankings on Google search engine.
1. Keyword density range:
Make sure you’re in the right keyword density range. How do you figure that out you need to go check the competition? So, I recommend getting a tool like SEO quake which is free and also available asa Chrome extension.You can check out the competition and figure out what keyword density range you should be put for your content.

You should use keyword rich captions, keyword rich alt tags and your file name could have a keyword thrown in there too.

You should embed relevant YouTube videos that are within the niche or specifically about the topic.That’s a good thing to put a video on your site because if someone actually watches, it could increase the on-site time as well.

To the URL that you’re trying to rank now, you need to make sure these are high quality backlinks right. You can’t go in a Fiverr and pay five bucks and get a bunch of crappy links that’s not a good idea but if you do you know networking within your niche and outreach and you work with other people that are in the niche. So, then you may be able to guest post on their site. If you make friends with them they’ll just naturally link to you in one of their upcoming posts something like that those are the kind of backlinks you want to get.
6. Brandable type anchor text:
Get backlinks to the homepage with like brandable type anchor text. It is a good thing to have links to your home page, if you can get some branded links to your home page that’s a good thing.It will help your overall site and Google search engine to recognize your site further as a relevant brand in the niche.

Now what is anchor text that’s actually the words that use to create hyperlink. So if you’re trying to rank like best cleaning service for office then you would probably want to have like some words of that phrase best of all point cleaning services in your anchor text.
Now you don’t want to go crazy with too much exact match anchor text but a lot of times it’s good to make sure you have cleaning service for office that sort of thing in your anchor text. If you don’t have much of that then you should probably go investigate your competitor and see what their anchor text distribution is and you want to be sort of in that range as well.
8. Get backlinks from relevant sites:
It’s really good to have relevant posts and relevant sites linking to your site. If your sites about cleaning service then may be great to have some sites about cleaners and that sort of thing linking to your site versus say like a survival site it wouldn’t be nearly as relevant to have the survival links going to your site versus the cleaners site which go hand in hand with cleaners. So, the more relevancy you get the better.
