Before we go over this method, first let’s look into why your post might not be ranking well on google.
Can You Read The Post Well?
Firstly, we need to look at how easy it is to read. Is the grammar good and do the sentences make sense?
If they don’t, your audience that has been directed here, has most likely quickly left and there for told google that it isn’t a good answer for their question. Make sure to check what you wrote, and also double check it makes sense for the title of your post.
Can They Find The Answer?
If the reader has troubles finding the answer for the search query, again they will leave the site and give what you can image as a bad reference as google can see they looked else where.
You need to double check that they can find the answer they need quickly and with enough information and links to support it. Linking to outside sites isn’t bad if they help the reader get his or her answer.

For instance, if you want to write a post about the benefits of yoga for over 30’s. The title “My best exercise tips” would not work as well as “Top 10 Benefits of Doing Yoga For under 30’s” which includes keywords that people would search for if they wanted to find such an article.
