#Tip 1: Post’s title and heading related trick for better SEO

For example: In this article or post, the title is “Things to include in a blog post for better SEO“. So here I want Google to rank this post for keyword “Blog post for better SEO“. So if anyone searches Google for this keyword this post may come at top of the search results.
