On-Page SEO Basics

Give every page a unique <title> and meta description -- don't let templates repeat the same one site-wide.
Use exactly one <h1> per page, matching what the page is actually about.
Write body copy for the person reading it first; work in your target keywords naturally rather than stuffing them.
Link internally to related pages on your own site -- it helps visitors and helps search engines understand your site's structure.
Add descriptive alt text to images, and keep pages fast and mobile-friendly.

Guest post on sites that are actually relevant to your topic, not just any site that will publish you.
Reply to journalist queries (HARO-style outreach) when you have real expertise to offer.
Look for "resource" or "useful links" pages in your niche and ask to be added if you genuinely fit.
Find broken links on relevant sites and suggest your own page as a replacement (broken-link building).
Search for unlinked mentions of your brand and politely ask for a link back.

Submit to a handful of relevant, actively-moderated directories rather than mass-submitting to hundreds.
Prefer directories that actually review submissions -- it's a sign of real editorial quality control, not just a link farm.
Match your category precisely; a mismatched category listing rarely helps and can look spammy.
Avoid paid link schemes that violate Google's spam policies.
No directory listing alone guarantees rankings -- it's one factor among many in a broader SEO strategy.
