1. Title Tag Optimization: After launching a website/blog, the first step you should take is optimizing your blog title. Generally, in search results, your blog title will appear before the post title. This is not good for SEO. So you have to set your blog title after your post title to make it more effective.

Ex: Your post title - blog title

2. Header Tags Optimization : Header tags are powerful, so use them properly. The most useful header tags are H1 and H2 tags. Use the H1 tag for your blog title, and also use H1 tags for your post titles. Then, use H2 and H3 tags for subheadings in your blog post.

3. Post Tile Optimization: Optimizing your blog post titles is important for better search engine results. Use the H1 tag for your post title and include your target keywords in the title.

4. Content Optimization : The next step after optimizing post titles is optimizing your blog post content. To optimize your blog content, write quality content. Quality content plays a major role in attracting visitors and making them visit your blog again. So, write quality content and place target keywords in your blog content, and use images or infographics.

Place target keywords in the first and last lines of the post content. Also, use anchor tags to create links and place target keywords in the anchor text. If your blog post has subheadings, then use header tags like H2, H3, etc.

5. Keyword Optimization: Keyword optimization is very important for any successful business. Keyword optimization is the process of searching and finding the right kind of keywords for your blog. If you find the right keywords for your blog, then you can easily get quality traffic to your blog from search engines by targeting those keywords.

• Keyword research: Before starting to post any article on your blog, first do proper keyword research to find the best keywords for your blog's niche and then write content by targeting those keywords. Use keyword research tools to analyze keywords. One of the best tools is Google Keyword Planner.

• Keyword placement: Place the target keyword in your blog title, post title, and content.

• Keyword density: Avoid keyword stuffing and maintain a keyword density below 5%.

6. Image Optimization: Optimizing images is also necessary. To optimize images on your blog, use the Alt tag. You can optimize images while posting or after posting images on your blog. Just use the Alt tag and insert text related to your images. If you don't use Alt tags, then search engines may ignore your images.

7. Link Optimization : Just like optimizing images, you can also optimize links on your blog. To optimize links on your blog, use anchor tags and choose proper anchor text. Also, set them to open links in a new window.

Create inbound links: If you have more posts, then interlink one post with a related post on your blog. It will also increase your page rank.

8. Meta Tags Optimization :

Meta Description : After posting articles on your blog, you should add some meta description to your blog post.

8. URL Structure Optimization : Proper URL structure is also very important. To optimize your URL structure, choose the best format, which is "Yourblogname.com/post title".

9. Sitemap Submission : To increase your blog's indexing, create a sitemap for your blog and add it to your webmaster tools.

These are the most important on-page optimization techniques for any website/blog.
