Title TagsTitle tag plays an important role in SEO. Title tag not only provides the overall description of a web page but also it is the sentence, which appears on the search results. Title tag is the one that is linked to your website in the search engine results. We optimize title tag for home page and every sub page to get the maximum benefitSyntax: <title>Important Keyword of the Page – Secondary Keywords | Brand</title>

Meta Tags1. Keyword Keywords still play an important role in the SEO. We carefully select main keyword for every page in the website and optimize the pages for those keywords.Syntax: <meta name=”keywords” content=”keywords1, keyword2, keyword3…”> 2. DescriptionDescription Meta tag is the sentence, which appears below the title in the search engine results and gives an overall description of the page. We optimize each page's description tag, which are more relevant to the page.Syntax: <meta name=”description” content=”place description here.” >

Heading tagsAnother important on-page optimization factor is Heading Tag. Search engine considers it mostly when indexing a Web page. Header tag is important for visitors also, since heading tag tells both search engine and visitors what the content is all about.

Heading tags are represented as <h1> to <h6>. <h1> is considered the most important tag by search engine and <h6>, the smallest, and the least important.Syntax: <h1>Most Important Keyword</h1> <h2>2nd Important Keyword</h2>

keyword placement Search engine keyword placement allows a website to rank higher with search engines (SE) and draws traffic to the site. Placement, density, and ranking are all very important issues when it comes to keywords and keyword phrases. The amount of times that words are repeated can make a difference as to how a SE views the content. Quality content with strategically placed words and phrases can make a site rank higher with search engines.

Content Content is the king. Content must have to unique. It must content the keywords which we have to target for SEO. No Stuffing of keywords

Image OptimizationOptimizing images is becoming more and more important in for websites. The ALT attribute is an important step that is often overlooked. This can be a lost opportunity for better rankings.

Alt Tag – Optimize your images using descriptive keyword rich ALT text. Don’t stuff the ALT attribute. Make it short and to the point. The keyword rich ALT text for your images could be the tiebreaker over who gets the top spot, so always use it.Image Title Tag – Image title (the element name speaks for itself) should provide additional information and follow the rules of the regular title: it should be related, short, memorable, and summarizing (a title “offers advisory information about the element for which it is set“).
