If you’re a newbie blogger, you’re likely overwhelmed by all of the things you need to do. Then again, you could also be in a situation where you don’t know what you don’t know like with how to boost your on-page SEO.

Keep up with changes as they come and learn everything you can. But, you’re just one person. You need to focus on the areas where you will have the most impact with less time or monetary investment.

How can you accomplish this with SEO? Simple. Make “on-page” SEO your primary focus.
