@mike  Here are a few things to keep in mind when using SEO keywords in your WordPress blog: 

  1. Use SEO-Friendly URLs: WordPress automatically generates URLs for your posts, pages, and archives. However, it’s important to take the time to make sure the URLs are optimized for SEO.
  2. Use Headings: WordPress allows you to choose from several heading (H1-H6) sizes for your content, as well as use bold, italicized, and underlined fonts.
  3. Optimize Your Images: When you upload an image to WordPress, you can add an “Alternative Text”, which is a description of the image for search engines.
  4. Add Internal Links: You can use anchor text to link to other content on your website. Not only does this help users navigate around the site, but it also helps search engines figure out what your website is about.
  5. Use Meta Keywords: The meta keywords tag is an HTML tag you can add to each page of your site which signifies to search engines what keywords are related to that page. This tag is no longer used by most major search engines, but including it in your WordPress site is still a good practice.
  6. Use SEO Plugins: There are a number of SEO plugins available for WordPress which can help optimize your site. Popular plugins include Yoast SEO and All in One SEO Pack.

To use SEO keywords in WordPress, follow these steps:

  1. Install an SEO plugin: Plugins like Yoast SEO or All in One SEO Pack provide tools to optimize your WordPress site for search engines. Install and activate the plugin.
  2. Do keyword research: Use tools like Google Keyword Planner or SEMrush to find relevant keywords for your content. Choose keywords with high search volume and low competition.
  3. Optimize your URLs: Edit the permalink structure of your WordPress site to include keywords. Go to Settings > Permalinks and choose an option that includes the post name or category in the URL.
  4. Add keywords in your content: Incorporate your chosen keywords naturally in your blog posts, pages, and meta descriptions. Place them in the title, headings, and throughout the body of your content. However, avoid keyword stuffing, as it can penalize your site.
  5. Optimize image alt tags: When uploading images to your WordPress media library, add descriptive alt text using your keywords. This helps search engines understand the content of your images.
  6. Interlink your content: Link relevant keywords in your content to other internal pages of your website. This helps search engines discover and understand the structure of your site.
  7. Use SEO-friendly headings: Structure your content using H1, H2, H3, etc., headings. Include your primary keyword in at least one heading.
  8. Utilize meta tags: Fill in meta titles and meta descriptions for your posts and pages. Include relevant keywords while keeping them concise and enticing to users.
  9. Monitor and analyze: Use the SEO plugin to monitor your site's performance, track keyword rankings, and get insights on how to improve your SEO strategy.


Remember, SEO is an ongoing process, and it's important to regularly update and optimize your content to maintain good search engine rankings.
