Does anyone have a complete list of all on-page SEO techniques and ranking factors?

The short answer is yes, I’ve got a quite simple yet fully complete list of all SEO techniques related to on-page optimization for organic search, as well as the primary ranking factors you will need to know for that. Given that your ability to rank well in Google’s SERPs depends on the way your web pages are optimized – first and foremost, you will definitely need to have a solid list of all (or at least key) SEO techniques and use-proven approaches. Ultimately, to start optimizing for the right factors that have the greatest impact on your ability to rank. All that being said, let’s finally see what we have to that point.

List of All Primary SEO Techniques of On-Page Optimization

Web Page Content

It may seem like a no-brainer, but your body content itself is the first primary factor determining your ability to rank well in Google’s SERPs. Put simply, your content quality is exactly what makes it worth reading by the live readers, therefore giving a fair reason to the major search engines to have it displayed in front of the users. Taken in general, a good body content should supply demand with its valuable and fully unique information. At the same time, it should be linkable – otherwise, it will simply fail to drive a sufficient amount of web traffic, and therefore get too weak ranking potential.

Title Tags

These on-page elements are arguably the second most important factors for the Search Engine Optimization, after body content itself. Here is all you need to know about performing titles:

Make them clean & clear, giving a compelling snapshot of the whole web page.

Keep their length within 65-70 characters, exceeding this limit will make Google display them half-cut. And it will hardly become actually intriguing for the live searcher, right?

Place your top relevant keyword in each title tag, and try to locate your search terms closer to the title’s beginning to maximize their potential impact on your rankings.

URLs

Creating custom and clear logic structure for your website URLs is really important for several reasons:

Each custom URL gives you another way of utilizing your main target keywords

Every web page becomes even more relevant to a given search term you’re optimizing for.

Easier copy/paste actions for the live users – who loves those really long URLs made up of only strange random characters, right?

Image ALT Tags

Every image found on your web pages should be embedded with its own unique ALT tag. Otherwise, Google is simply unable to “read” or “understand” your image content. Doing so, remember to use core keywords once again, in line with considering using them in each image file name too.

Internal Links

You should have a correct structure of internal links that will make human navigation faster, and machine crawling/indexing simpler, and apparently more benefitting for your organic rankings. Make sure to make each interlinked web page perform the following:

• Point back to its category page.
• Refer to a relative subcategory pages (if possible).
• Leave a clear way back to the homepage (ideally, using the website logo clearly seen on the top left corner of the web page).
