Previously, I had written an article about the meaning of SEO, and this time I will try to review a little about the steps for website SEO so that our site can rank on Google and other search engines.

Maybe quite short, but I write this based on what I learned and some personal experience experiments, as well as from several other references.

Hopefully what I have written can provide inspiration for you to understand more about the practical steps of implementing SEO on the website.

Alright, let's continue ...

Build a Blog for Your Website

If you want to create a successful website, you should also consider building a blog on that website.

The point, in addition to increasing trust in visitors, also to provide credibility in the eyes of search engines.

Maybe you ask, "How can blogs increase trust in the eyes of visitors?"

Just imagine, what would happen if someone came to our shop and asked the shop assistant, but the shop assistant didn't bother with our products. In other words, product knowledge is zero. Um, it's a bit embarrassing, of course ...

Well, blogs can function like that.

The visitor may not find the product / service he is looking for. But when he is reading other content on our blog, who knows he might find other information he might need.

Remember, the key word is "INFORMATION".

So that slowly but surely, there will be a sense of confidence in him that our website is worthy of being used as a reference / reference regarding the product or service that is being searched for.

Likewise for search engines.

Blogs are one of the most important elements in order for our website to fulfill its purpose. If we keep updating the content, the search engine bots will like it even more.

Regarding how to create a blog, if we use the WordPress website, of course this will be very easy, no need to bother anymore how to make blog features. Because as a CMS, WordPress already provides this facility.

The problem now is, how do we create a blog that is liked by search engines?

How to SEO a Website Using a Blog

In principle, the important thing is to appear in search results first, using light keywords is not a problem.

3. Relevant posts

For example, optimizing the use of keywords in the Meta Title, Meta Description, etc., according to the results of keyword analysis.
