Also, be sure to use header tags in your content.

Headers tags are vital as they create the structure in your content and tell the search engines what your content is all about. The header tags should contain your keywords.

Header Tags: What They Are and How to Use Them

Header tags provide structure to your pages and posts, enhance the reader experience, and help SEO. Discover how to use header tags and improve your site.

• H1 — The title of a post. They're usually keyword-centric, focused around the "big idea" of a page or post, and crafted to grab a reader's attention.
• H2 — These are subheaders that classify the main points of your paragraphs and separate sections. Consider using semantic keywords related to the "big idea" in your H1 while also helping the reader easily find the sections they want to read.
• H3 — These are subsections that clarify the points made in the H2 further. Alternatively, they can be used in formatting lists or bullet points.
• H4 —These are subsections that clarify the points made in the H3 further. Alternatively, they can be used in formatting lists or bullet points.

The "H" in H1, H2, etc. officially stands for "heading element," though the SEO community also commonly calls these tags "header tags."

Be sure that your site is easy to navigate as well, so the search engines can easily index your pages and visitors can navigate it easier. It will help you rank well as well.

Every page should have its own unique title and meta description too.

With building backlinks, don’t just build links to your homepage. Be sure to build links to all your other pages that you want to rank as well.

Also, make sure you interlink all the pages that are related to reach other.

So if you have a post related about games, add a link to the other topic in the same post. Interlinking your site’s pages is important.
