So, if your blog doesn’t contain keywords, it won’t show up in the search results pages on Google and your blog won’t get click-through-rate (CTR) as well. So, where will you add keywords to the blog?

Google only reads text content and considering this Alt text is required to write in images so that Google can easily identify the image. Believe me guys, Alt text helps images rank on search results on Google.

Add internal links within the blog

And internal links help search engines see the relevancy of your blog and other pages through links. So, if you have written a topic on SEO and you’re writing a blog talking about SEO then you can link your previous blog to the new one. It helps you get more visitors to the site and shows search engines the authority of your blog.
