• Firstly determine what the keywords or keyword phrases are that you wish to be found by potential customers
• Look at where your competitors rank in the search results of your queries to these keywords.
• Compare the keywords of sites ranked high in the search results and the language that is used in the body text.
• To increase the probability of your site appearing higher in a search engine's result list, make sure the important topics are present in the titles, descriptions, keyword list, and text of each page.
• Submit your website to free submission sites. Remember that free submittal can take weeks to months before you site is recognized by the search engines
