To improve your website ranking on Google, create high quality and relevant content that solves the searchers problems.

Also use targeted keywords in your titles, descriptions and body and build quality backlinks from authoritative sites.

And ensure that your website provides it's users with a positive user experience by improving the site loading speed and ensure the site is mobile friendly.

You can also analyze your websites performance by using tools such as Google Search Console and Google Analytics.

And also use proper image optimization and a clear site structure.

Write content for users and not just for search engines as Google ranks websites that solve a users problems and not just content designed for the search engines.

And ensure you're writing original content and not just copying content that others have already written and integrate your target keywords naturally into the contents body text, headings, title tags and page URLs but don't use keyword stuffing as it can hurt your rankings.

Google uses at least 200 factors to rank websites.

Although the exact number of ranking factors that Google uses to rank websites is not officially disclosed publicly and the number of Google ranking factors still continues to evolve.

The factors that Google uses for ranking websites are also categorized into areas such as site quality, relevance of content, user experience, website authority, website trustworthiness, mobile friendliness, page speed, content quality and whether or not the content answers the searchers questions.

The main thing that Google uses to rank websites is how well the content matches the search intent of the search query and how well the content is written and if it's made for people and not just search engine optimized.

The first thing that Google considers when ranking a website is the quality of the websites content as well as the relevance of the content.

When ranking content and websites in it's search engine, Google seeks to provide it's users with reliable, helpful and comprehensive information and content which directly answers the searchers search queries.

Google rewards and ranks high content which is valuable and people first instead of just search engine optimized content.

If the content does not answer the searchers query it will either not rank or may be pushed down later in the rankings if Google detects that people are not finding the content helpful such as by bouncing from the content quickly.

For your websites content to rank high in Google search is needs to be unique and provide new insights and offer substantial value to the searcher.

The content must also be created for people, and solve real user problems and satisfy the search query's intent.

And Google also prefers to rank content higher that provides complete answers to someone's questions on a given topic they are searching for answers for.

Google is also now ranking user generated content like question and answer websites better including websites like reddit, quora and even this website higher than blog content that just writes content that's not helpful.

Blogs can still rank good and high in Google but the content must be of high quality and not just regurgitated content.

I’ve had decent results boosting niche visibility through forum backlinks, especially when I used white hat link building from a service that focused on real discussions instead of bot posts. The mix of dofollow and nofollow links felt natural, and the traffic bump was steady rather than sketchy. If you’re trying to grow authority without raising red flags, that approach might fit what you’re aiming for.

To improve your website ranking on Google focus on creating quality and helpful content that solves a searchers problems.

If you're not sure exactly on the topic and the answer to the topic yourself, do some good research and take your time in writing the content.

Your content won't usually rank right away even if you write the content and publish it the same day, unless your website is well established and high authority.

So take your time to write the content and also check the content for any spelling errors.

If your website is new, it can still rank in Google, but ranking in Google search is also a long term game and it can take months to rank content in Google even if it has been indexed.

For my blog, there's sometimes that it takes some of the blog posts 6 months to climb to the top of the first page of Google and others rank within a month or even a week or less.
