Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tips for your blog

You can use relevant keywords in the titles and text on your posts and pages. You can also tell search engines which pages, posts, and links to ignore so they won’t show up in search results.

Add keywords to your post and page titles

To improve the ranking of your posts and pages in searches, you can:

• Include keywords that explain what the post or page is about
