Of course not.
Similarly, keywords are wheels of your blog.
To rank your blog in search engines you need to optimize your keywords.
There are 3 rules of optimizing keywords for better results:
1. Use your focus keyword in the first 100 words.
Whenever you put your focus keyword for the 1st time bold it and use it in double quotations ( “ ).
Capture 1
This helps search engine crawlers to know which keyword you are trying to rank for.
Try to insert your focus keyword at least 6 to 7 times in your blog.
Keep everything natural. Don’t forcibly insert keywords. All the placement of keywords should make sense.
2. Use LSI keywords
LSI keywords can help your blog rank for many keywords.
LSI keywords are relevant keywords that are related to your main keyword.
In the above picture, you can see that our main keyword is “Google”. When we type it in the search box different words appear that are related to Google like google translate, google classroom, etc.
These are what LSI Keywords are!

3. Use keyword in images
Lots of people do this mistake, they simply upload and insert images in post.
According to on-page SEO techniques, this is not good.
As you upload an image and click on it.
You can see some boxes like this.
Fill your target keywords in Alt Text.
Fill a suitable title in title box.
This helps Google to understand the image and keyword that your are trying to rank for.
This also increases the number of keywords in over all blog post.

According to Google title is a very important on-page SEO factor.

To increase CTR your title should be very catchy.
Use title tag modifiers like “best”, “guide”, “checklist”, “fast” and “review” this can help you to rank for even long-tail versions of your focus keyword.
You can also use years in title.
This makes your title look more updated and also increases CTR.
If you are writing a list post. Then try to use odd numbers.

Meta description also plays a major role in CTR.
This is what users see below your title.
A well-optimized meta description can push you CTR up to 58%.
There are three major factors to be kept in mind while writing a meta description:
