Even the content within your website can be optimized. By using meta tags within each web page, your website can advise search engines what the page is about and its intentions for visitors.
Experienced web developers use header tags to their advantage as well. These tags within the webpage code like h1, h2, etc… are used to create titles on the page and also provide search engines with a credible list for how you have prioritized information. The larger the tag, the more important and relevant the information is to readers.
Staying Relevant

The more relevant your content is to current events and consumer trends, the more likely your site is to populate as a hit on search engines. To stay relevant, continue to produce new content based on ideas with growing popularity, preferably content which is just about to become mainstream.
These three concepts are a few strategies used to improve quality, organic SEO within your website’s ecosystem.
