How to Write SEO Friendly Blog Posts - rank easily

I recall writing my first blog entry. I had made the heading right, the content was also well written… but that article never ranked on Google. Then I realized that writing and writing SEO friendly blog posts are two different things.

 

If you also do blogging or want to do it, then just writing is not enough. You have to make the content SEO optimized so that it comes on top in Google search and brings traffic. In this article, I am sharing with you the same tips and tricks that I have tested myself.

 

🧠 What is an SEO Friendly Blog Post?

In simple words: A blog post that is easily understood by Google, has the right keywords, and is useful for the readers.

 

If your piece is well-written but not search engine optimized, no one will see it. And if no one notices it, then both traffic and earnings are zero.

 

🛠️ Tools I use

First of all, note these 3 free tools which should be used before and after writing every blog post:

 

Google Keyword Planner – for keyword research

Yoast SEO Plugin (for WordPress users)

Grammarly + Hemingway – for content readability

 

📌 Step-by-Step Guide – How to Write SEO Friendly Blog Posts

Now, let's got to the real steps that you should follow in each post:

 

1. Keyword Research – It starts from here

Imagine setting out on a road trip without GPS. Can you go anywhere? Blogging is also like that. You will first have to find the keywords that people search for.

 

✅ Tip:

 

Use Google Suggest, Ubersuggest or Keyword Planner

“Long-tail keywords” are more easy and rankable

Every post should have only 1 focus keyword

 

2. The title should be such that it compels people to click

The title is not just a combination of keywords – it grabs the reader’s interest.

 

✅ Real Example:

 

Boring: “SEO Tips”

Better: “10 Proven SEO Tips That Can Rank Your Blog”

I think you should definitely use numbers, positive words and power words in the title.

 

3. Keep the URL slug short and clean

Often people put the full title in the URL – avoid it.

 

✅ Example:

 

❌ yourblog.com/seo-tips-for-writing-a-good-blog-post-in-2025

✔️ yourblog.com/seo-blog-writing

Short and keyword-rich slug is more effective.

 

4. Keyword must be there in first 100 words

When your blog starts, Google's crawler first reads the first 100–150 words. If your focus keyword is there, it helps in ranking.

 

I always try to make the keywords come naturally - without force.

 

5. Use of Headings (H2, H3) – Structure is a must

A good SEO post is one that is properly divided by headings:

 

H1 – Title

H2 – Main Sections

H3 – Sub-sections

 

You think if a reader is scanning the post, then the headings guide him.

 

6. Avoid Keyword Stuffing – Keep it Natural

Earlier people used to rank by putting keywords in every line. Now Google penalizes for doing this.

 

Keep Keyword Density 1%–2%

Also include LSI keywords (related terms)

Write natural and helpful content

 

7. Optimize Images, Alt Text and File Name

Images also play an important role in SEO friendly blog posts. But just adding an image is not enough.

 

The name of the image should be keyword-based

The alt text should also contain a relevant phrase

The image should be compressed so that the load time is not slow

 

8. Add Internal and External Links

A smart blogger is one who also gives links to other pages of his blog (internal linking) and also links to a trusted source (external link).

 

Internal link: Link of other relevant post of your own

External link: Wikipedia, official sites, etc.

 

9. Meta Description – Make Mini Ad

Meta description is that which appears below the title on Google. This is a short chance to attract the user.

 

150–160 characters

Focus keyword should be included

CTA should be there (like: “Read now”, “Find out”)

 

10. Mobile-Friendly Layout + Fast Loading Time

Most of the users read on mobile. If your blog is not responsive, then the bounce rate will increase.

 

Use Lightweight theme

Enable Lazy loading

Hosting should be fast

 

11. Readable Language – Don’t make it complex

I have seen that some bloggers write so tough in order to impress that the reader gets confused.

 

Short paragraphs

Simple words

Real examples

 

Think if you write for a school level English understanding user, then everyone will understand.

 

12. There should be a clear call-to-action in the conclusion

The end of the post is not just a summary – there you should guide the reader as to what the next step should be.

Example CTA:

“If you find these tips useful, please comment”

“And read this post for SEO tools…”
