Top 5 Most Important Ranking Factors to Rank Higher in Search Engines

Top 5 Most Important Ranking Factors to Rank Higher in Search Engines
 
1. Title Tags
Make sure your most important keywords are in your title tag. In-depth keyword research is needed as this is the single most important “tag” that search engines use to find what your webpage is all about.
 
2. Description Tags
Keep it short and to the point. (Less than 150 characters)  It should include the same researched keywords as your title tag.
 
3. Content
Content is King!  Include targeted keywords in the content but still readable to your visitors. Ideally you would want them to be repeated 3 to 5 times per 100 words.  (3 to 5% keyword density)
 
4. Anchor Text
Text that is highlighted and linked so that the reader can explore that topic further on another section of your webpage.
 
5. Link Building
Quality inbound linking relevant to your industry boosts your website popularity ranking.  It is also the fastest way for Google or any major search engine to index your site.
