Internal SEO tips that you should know

Please take the necessary measures to improve the performance of internal SEO because as  external SEO  is essential, it is required. It is also crucial and can affect the success or failure of businesses and sites.

What is internal SEO?

All the necessary actions that are done inside the site and are related to internal coding are called  internal SEO. it is, like external SEO, affects having better rankings in search results. SEO has two parts:  - External SEO - Internal SEO  Most web designers or business owners focus on external SEO and performance improvement and sometimes forget about it. It is related to all the points inside the site and the site coding. A site may have a better  external SEO. Still, due to not paying attention to the internal coding, this SEO of the site will also destroy the external SEO, which is why We must not forget to pay attention to both of them and take the necessary measures to improve their performance.

The critical points that should be considered in this SEO are as follows:

- Content Title:

To  improve internal SEO, we must write a unique and non-duplicate title and title for each content that includes keywords. Content titles should consist of keywords to make it easier and faster to find results when searching. The content's title has a particular and strong point, and writing a keyword in it makes it easier and quicker to appear in search results.

- Meta-descriptions:

Meta-descriptions are short descriptions that contain keywords and, in 160 letters to the Google search engine, explain what this content is about to give particular points when searching and indexing Google content. According to the new algorithms of the Google search engine, special attention is paid to the meta descriptions of each range. If the Google search engine does not connect the content and the meta description, it will spam the content and the page. Therefore, the meta description is fundamental, and to  improve the performance of internal SEO, the insertion of the meta description should not be forgotten.

- Site URL:

URL has a significant impact on pages and content in the  top rankings of search results. To rank better and have good internal and external SEO, we need to use keywords in the URL of the pages and the site. Using keywords in the URL has a considerable impact on indexing and ranking at the top. Google has stated that the first 3 to 5 words of the URL are very important, meaning that keywords in these sections can be effective. The URL should be short, concise, legible, and easy to remember. Do not create long, unreadable URLs.

- Text tags:

For text contents to be easily readable and have an improved structure, sections or tags must be used. If tags are used to segment and optimize the textual content structure, the texts will be accessible for visitors to read and easily indexed by search engines. Tags are H1 to H6 tags. The H1 tag is used to write the main titles; it should be noted that these tags have a particular point, and the search engine pays more attention to them. Therefore, you should use the keywords inside this tag to be in the search results when searching after the H1 tag is the H2 tag, which is used to insert important internal titles. The score of this tag is less than the H1 tag, and the ratio of the H3 to H6 tags is higher. Using these tags to segment textual content easier to read can also effectively have  a good internal SEO.

- Appropriate places to use keywords:

Using keywords within the text is very important, but keywords must be used in the right place to have the desired results. Before updating Google algorithms, using more keywords was effective. Still, after updating the new  Google search engine algorithms, keywords should be used in the right places and the right number. If the right number of keywords are used in the right places, the Google search engine can easily identify the subject of the content and display it in the search results to users. The average number of keywords that should be used in the textual content is about 2 to 5% of the total content, and the right places to use keywords are tags that have special privileges. It is better to use keywords in titles and headings or tags to be better seen by search engines.

- Optimizing photos:

Using images within content can add to its appeal. Users are more attracted to visual content than text because visual content can easily convey the message to the audience in the best way. The very important point in using images is to  have a good internal SEO. We must optimize the images. Image optimization is such that the Title and ALT attributes must be inserted. The ALT attribute is the text that displays text instead of the image when it is not loaded or displayed.

The title is the title of the image displayed when the mouse is placed on the image of the subject and the title of the image. In inserting both of these features, a keyword must be written to be considered by search engines when searching and displayed in better results.

- Internal linking:

In addition to  backlinks  and external linking, internal linking is also very important and can effectively have  a good SEO. Backlinks and external links link the site and pages and direct users to other sites, but internal links are also as effective important as backlinks are. Internal links allow users to move between pages of a site and go from page to page within the same site. In addition, internal links make the pages and site live and, in other words, not deadlocked. In this case, search engines can go to other site pages through internal links and index them to display in search results. Lack of internal links causes the site to be dead and deadlocked, and transfer through links to other pages of the site is not possible, and pages of other sites are not viewed. So for both users and search engines to access other site pages and be transferred, link building must be done.

- Responsive design of sites:

Today, with the increase in the number of people who use other smart and portable devices such as mobile phones and tablets, responsive design of sites is essential for the site to be indexed by search engines in the best way and to be in the top ranks of search results must be designed to be responsive. By updating its new algorithms, Google has announced that it pays special attention to sites that are designed to be responsive. If a site is not designed to be responsive, it may prevent users from displaying it in the top rankings of search results. Slowly to  have a good SEO, site owners must design their site responsively because many users use mobile phones and tablets to visit the sites. So if someone is looking for the site to be seen by many visitors and displayed in the top rankings of search results when indexed by Google search engine, they should design the site responsibly.

- Increase site loading speed:

According to Google, sites that take more than 3 to 5 seconds to load will discourage users, and other users will stop visiting those sites. So for the site and pages to be seen by visitors, they must have a high loading speed. There are many techniques and tricks to increase the site's speed. You can increase the site's loading speed by changing the hosting of your site, optimizing large images, and compressing various types of content while maintaining their quality. Using bulky content and spammed links or heavy graphical structure can slow down the site's loading speed. Keep in mind that to increase the loading speed, avoid using this content.

- Increasing the duration of users' presence on the site:

After attracting and increasing the number of site visitors, the focus should be on retaining users and increasing the duration of their presence on the site. As the length of time users stay on the site, the Google search engine will think that your site and content are user-friendly and users are satisfied with your site, in which case it will consider special points for your SEO. Increasing the duration of users' presence on the site and the  click-through rate  greatly impacts the internal and  external SEO  of the site and can cause their presence in the top rankings of search results. In addition to increasing the user's presence on the site, increasing click-through rates and conversion rates should also reduce bounce rates. These are factors that can effectively have  a good and strong SEO.

- Presence in social networks:

By participating in social networks and being in public, you can attract many users and convince them to visit your website. If you can have an effective presence on social networks and convince users to buy and do link building for this, you can transfer more traffic from social networks to your site.  SEO will also improve with increasing site traffic.
