Tips to Improve SEO Positioning

While many other variables need consideration to increase a site's visibility, here we summarise some related to on-page SEO that are easy to implement. Take note!

1) Optimise the title tag

The title tag is the link displayed in search engines (i.e., the link users can click to access the corresponding page). To make this element even more effective, include a relevant keyword. Google sets no character limit but truncates long titles in the results; most importantly, write an attractive title that summarises the webpage's content in a single sentence, without special graphic characters, as these hinder Google's bot.

Google explains how it generates this text and which practices it recommends in its documentation on title links.

2) ...and the meta description

The meta description is the text that appears in search engines below the page link. For it to be effective, it must attract users' attention, include appropriate keywords, and encourage the user to click the link to access the webpage. Google sets no maximum length, but truncates the snippet in the results when needed, so put what matters first.

3) Use titles and subtitles

When writing the content, include a title element marked with the H1 tag, as well as subtitles marked with H2 and H3 tags. Although it's possible to create other categories with H4, H5, and H6 tags, these have virtually no weight in terms of SEO.

This not only improves the website's readability but also helps search engines categorise and position content better. For this reason, it's advisable to repeat keywords in titles and subtitles.

4) Write for users

Since the advent of the World Wide Web protocol and the first search engines in the nineties, search engines set the rules for writing content on the internet. However, Google's birth in 1998, which held 88.97% of the search market in Europe in September 2026, according to Statcounter, marked a new era. The tech giant aimed to curb keyword over-optimisation and practices known as black hat, imposing a new commandment: write for the user.

Thus, to help Google positively value a page and give it more visibility in its search results, it's important to offer interesting, quality content that is valuable to internet users, written in natural language and incorporating the keywords for which the website is to be positioned (especially in the first paragraph).

5) Incorporate (and optimise) images and multimedia resources

Increasingly, web design tends towards minimalism and, above all, gives greater prominence to images. This not only attracts users' attention but also benefits readability and makes the website more aesthetically pleasing, thus encouraging increased dwell time (a variable, by the way, that Google considers when indexing its results). Finally, ensure the robots.txt file allows search engines to read it.

Furthermore, adding photos and videos is a positive element for search engine positioning. However, for these to be truly effective, the file should have a name related to the page's content, incorporate the secondary text or alt text (an HTML attribute), and not be too large, as excessive website loading time can penalise it in terms of SEO. A smaller photo always indexes better.

6) Include internal links

Whenever possible, add links to other pages on the website. By facilitating navigation, this resource can be a good ally in improving the bounce rate (i.e., the volume of users who leave the website after having consulted only one page). This aspect is not trivial, as it is another indicator Google uses when displaying its search results. In fact, a too-high bounce rate can hinder good indexing, as the search engine interprets it as a lack of relevant content.

7) Create semantic and SEO-oriented URLs

In the page URL, meaningless alphanumeric combinations should be avoided, replacing them with semantic content as similar as possible to the page title. The main keyword should be included. Prepositions and conjunctions should also be omitted, as their importance for SEO is low. Thus, the webpage containing the article "Steps to create your website" should have a URL similar to the following: www.b2-performance.es/steps-create-website.
