Be Present on Social Media;
Use Original Images;

Conclusion
Use as much as possible storytelling in your content. There is nothing more valuable for a website than to be a place where people spend time immersed in its stories.
Follow the gold standard SEO practices at all times in order to ensure your site has a chance of being ranked by Google.
Choose keywords based on your customers needs, wants and desires for maximum effect.
Keep a regularly updated blog that contains valuable information and keywords.
Reach out to websites both big and small in order to build links (you can also guest contribute to other sites in exchange for sharing a link).
Aim to get your freshest content linked within 1 month for maximum chances of getting ranked by Google.
Be active on social media, particularly on Google+ and YouTube- which are both owned by Google.
Check the domain rating of your site and your competitors, to know where you stand and when to compete on certain keywords.
Maintain a clean overall layout of your website and ensure that everything loads fast and is easy to navigate.
Being consistent it also important when it comes to getting in the top of Google’s search results. In fact, even when you make it to the top there is still a certain amount of “maintenance” that is required, such as continuing to build links and posting fresh blog content.
SEO is an always evolving process so staying up to date with the latest trends and algorithm updates can also be helpful.
So, when it comes to getting ranked on Google quickly, unfortunately there is no hard and fast rules, but following these steps you will definitely put you in the front running seat.
