As easy as it has become to create a website in 2025, it is becoming increasingly difficult to rank it by doing SEO. Especially now that it is the era of AI, and search engines like Google themselves are giving direct answers to the user – there is no need to reach the link.

But wait…that doesn’t mean your website can’t rank. Just the rules of the game have changed a bit. And for this changed game, I have brought 10 powerful SEO tips – which will take your new website to the top on Google.

Tip #1: Never Abandon Traditional SEO!

First and foremost, don't make the mistake of ignoring traditional SEO.

No matter how smart AI gets, Google still crawls websites, looks at technical SEO, reads on-page optimization, and assigns value to backlinks.

What should be included in traditional SEO?

• Meta Tags and Alt Tags: Make sure to include alt tags in the correct meta title, description and images on every page.
  
  
• Technical SEO:
  
  
• Must be mobile friendly
  
  
• Website speed should be good
  
  
• Must have an SSL certificate (HTTPS) installed

Pro Tip:
Also include main keywords in your HTML source code, such as in headings (H1, H2), in the URL structure, and in the filenames of images.

Tips for mobile friendly website:

• Use a responsive layout (with media queries)
  
  
• Fonts should be large and readable
  
  
• Clickable items like buttons are at the right distance

Golden Rule:
Before testing any website, open it on mobile and see it as your user will see it.
