SEO mainly now comes down to plain old common sense. It’s not worth trying to “game” the system anymore – you just need to follow the rules and set everything up correctly. Make sure all your pages have good, unique titles. That images have alt-tags, good on-page linking, a site map and just some good content. Also make sure you have set up all the functions in Google Search Console – and correctly integrated it into Google Analytics.
In reality, the only thing that will really push you up to page one of the results is some good quality links to your site from other big, well respected sites. Which comes down to more of a good PR exercise than a technical task.
