• Always use alt tags for images: Properly describe images with relevant keywords to improve accessibility and help search engines understand your content.
• Strategically place keywords in your content: Ensure your primary keywords appear in your page title, H1 header, and the first paragraph of content.
Quotes

• "All of these on-page SEO issues are easy fixes that you can do yourself."
• "It doesn't make sense to build a website and leave all the on-page SEO alone."
