Tip 1: Optimize your TITLE

Search engines like Google place a lot of importance on the title tag, so include your most important keywords in your title.
What’s more, since titles can be cut, you need to move important information to the left.
If your title is cut, readers will still know what your article is about.

Tip 2: Optimize your URL

Just like the title, you need to include your important keywords in the URL.
You can modify and personalize your URL name, which also gives your readers information about your content, should they share it with a friend.

Tip 3: Include basic meta tags in your images

Google may not be able to read your image, especially if it features a design or branded image.
You can add a description, caption and even an alt tag to help search engines understand this important visual content in your article.

When you upload your image, WordPress prompts you to fill in most of these fields, but you can also update them in the post itself.

Tip 4: Add a meta-description

Google strives to find a relevant description for the results page, including the title tag and a meta-description tag.
If you were building your site in HTML, you’d go into the code or your web design software to update this information.

WordPress makes it even easier.
There’s a field for you to fill in a brief description.
It’s worth mentioning that the number of characters for meta-description tags has changed over the years.

On desktop browsers, Google displays additional characters.
In some cases, you can insert up to 300 characters.
However, you also need to take into account the screen size of cell phones.
For reasons of security and user-friendliness, I generally try to limit my meta-description to around 155 characters.

If you need a quick way to check the number of characters in your content, simply open a Google document.
In the Tools menu, you can obtain the number of characters.
