Very useful post. Few other pointers:

  • Post length. It's hard for most people, but writing anything from 800+ words will help. 1,000+ words even better.

  • Competitor analysis. Google your keywords and see how other posts look and feel.

  • Search intent. This is the "why" behind the search query. Make it your mission to give searchers what they want.

  • Page structure. H1 is important, but don't forget about the rest. Spread enough H2's and H3's to make it look like mini chapters in a text book. 3-4 sentences max per paragraph (perhaps more depending on the content).

  • Don't give up. Many of my clients make one post and then expect to jump to the 1st page. Just keep posting. SEO is a journey, not a race.
