One thing I would add is focusing more on search intent rather than just keywords. I’ve seen pages rank better when the content clearly matches what the user is actually trying to do, not just what they typed.
Also, building some level of topical depth helps. Instead of isolated posts, covering a topic from multiple angles seems to improve visibility overall.
Curious if you noticed more gains from updating content or publishing new posts?
