The best way to start optimizing your web site is analyze your competition. Take a look at the web pages that currently have top rankings (Top 10) on Google and try to find out what these pages have done to get these rankings. - analyze the first top ten web sites related to your branch
- analyze keywords they are using

Step 2. - Start to improve your website with quality content
When optimizing your website always use keyword in the meta tags which are reflected in your page. It is not going to help your search engine ranking if the page has nothing to do with the topic. a) Choose the right keywords

The most important tag is the Title tag, because it is in the head section of your website and many search engines use it. Title tag should be short (about 14 words), descriptive and to the point. The title is appeared on first line in the search engines. c) Creating meta tags - DESCRIPTION Tag The next important meta tag is description tag. It describes content of your web page
- shouldn´t be longer than 120 characters
- description is for the search engines not for the viewers to see
d) Creating meta tags - KEYWORD Tag
