Short answer: stop treating a single “keyword” as the goal and make each page the best, most reliable answer for a clear user intent. That’s the change behind Google’s people‑first guidance — quality, experience, and trust now outweigh mechanical keyword tricks. This matches ’s point that raw keywords alone aren’t as powerful as before and complements ’s and ’s notes that on‑page and off‑page both matter. See Google’s people‑first content guidance. (developers.google.com)
Also: the old meta‑keywords tag is ignored by Google — don’t waste time on it. (developers.google.com)

Technical and on‑page priorities come next. Improve page experience (fast, responsive, visually stable) and make content scannable and complete for the intent you target. Measure and fix Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS) with Lighthouse / PageSpeed Insights and observe real‑user metrics in Search Console. A simple good meta example:

<title>How to improve keyword rankings — practical SEO</title>
<meta name="description" content="Practical steps: intent, content depth, speed, links.">

(developers.google.com)

Off‑page: earn editorial links and brand mentions through useful resources, data, outreach, and PR — avoid paid/link‑exchange schemes that try to manipulate rankings. Mark any paid/sponsored or UGC links appropriately (rel="sponsored" / rel="ugc") and audit backlinks regularly; Google’s spam policies explain what to avoid. (developers.google.com)

Measure and iterate using Search Console (Performance, URL Inspection, Coverage, Experience reports). Quick checklist to apply now: verify intent per page, fix major Core Web Vitals issues, update titles/descriptions to improve CTR, run a backlink audit, and track ranking + clicks in Search Console before/after changes. Use Search Console as the single source of truth for indexing and performance. (developers.google.com)

Key takeaway tied to earlier replies (,,): combine high‑quality, intent‑matching content + solid technical health + earned, relevant links — and stop relying on obsolete “keyword” shortcuts.

In order to increase keyword ranking, you need to consider both the On and Off page tactics, because both of these techniques are mandatory to rank a website in SERP (Search Engine Results Page)

SEO-On Page optmization be done properly for all the pages for the website like unique title, desc, keywords. Also, Create a content based on your keywords. Don't repeat the keywords in content. The content looks natural.Interlinking should be done properly. Google sees at the words you use in links to help determine the content of your page.Give your images if any alt text tag

After SEO On-Page Optimization is done, we have to go SEO Off page strategies like Socail BooK markings, Forum postings, Directory submissions,
Video SEO,Promotion through Social Media,Local listing submissions.
