On the other hand, black hat refers to illegal techniques used to increase website ranking in SERP. SEO on Google depends on hundreds of factors which are divided into on-page factors and off-page factors. On-page SEO defines as SEO techniques which should be done on website to get high ranking in SERP. This techniques should be done on html code and website content [5]. Off-page SEO is the actions carried out in other websites and affect the website ranking in SERP and it responsible for website popularity and authority. Since SEO concept appear, many researches have tried to find the most effective factorswhichaffectwebsitesvisibility in SERP to get large traffic and achievecompany’sobjectives. In this study, a collection of related work were studied to discover the most SEO effective factors. A list from the most effective on-page and off-page SEO factors are determined and applied in this research methodology. Research methodology consists of four steps. First step aims to analysis website to discover the required activities for its SEO plan. In addition to determining keywords list and websitecompetitorsanalysis. Secondstep is website optimization, the author organized optimization practices to three groups: technical optimization practices, on-page optimization practices and off-page optimization practices. Third step is website post optimization analysis which analysis website after optimization process. Thefinal step is to compare post optimization results with pre optimization result to evaluate the proposed guidelines and decide if more optimization needed to increase website ranking. This study will provide website owners with guidelines include best practices based on competitor’s analysis to improve their site visibility in search engines and get more traffic and visitors to it. To validate the proposed methodology, the provided guidelines applied on three different websites as case studies to increase their visibility in SERP. 2. RELATED WORK SEO was appear in early 2000s were google publish first guidelines for white hat SEO, but the guidelines was not effective. So, specialists start make effortson SEOtoincrease websites visibility and get high ranking in SERP. Specialist efforts should be continuous because Google search algorithm is not public and google change it from time to time. Here some published efforts are studied to analysis ranking factors and get a list with most effective factors to study it in our cases studies. Most of the previous work used SEO to improve websites visibility to get high ranking in SERP. Google is the most famous search engine, all the previous work deal with it and provided guidelines with the best practices to do to get high rank in it. Webpages rank in google can be improved using on-page SEO as discussed in all previous work except [6] which focus on off-page factors like social media and blogging to increase brand awareness , and off-page SEO are discussed in [7], [8], [9], [3], [5], [10], [11], [12]. Because Google algorithmisnotpublicandchangefromtime to time, there is no standard practices can be found to follow to achieve SEO. Each study from the previous works has its own plan. Google has more than 200 factors which may affect website ranking in SERP and it’shardtostudyall these factors [13]. So, a list of most common factors which used in the previous work is selected in this study. On one hand, the most common practice from on-page ranking factors which needed to be followed is keywords and it must be used in: title, Meta tags, headings and domain name if possible. Webpages Meta description is very important factor becauseitsummarizewebpagecontent and display in SERP to give the first impression to researcher about webpage content. Some researcher like [9] recommended practices that must be avoided to use in webpages because it has negative impact on SEO. One of these recommendation is avoid using frames on website. On the other hand, there is no standard practices to use in off-page SEO. Website owner must take care on backlinks quality which mentioned to his website becauseit mayaffect webpages ranking negatively. Blogging is the most mention off-page practice to increase website visibility in SERP because it keep the website updated to attract new visitors and the current visitors come back. 3.

Research methodology is applied on three different CMS WP websites to measure selected SEO practices impacts. Fig -2: Research methodology The proposed methodology consists of 4 phases to improve websites visibility and ranking in SERP. The first phase aims to analysis website before optimization process to discover its weaknesses and prepare SEO plan and practices which will be done in the next phase. In addition to that, keywords list will be determined according to website industry, language, region and the used SE. after keywords list determination, website online competitors list will be selected according to keywords list selecting attributes. The selected competitors list will be analyzed to discoveritsSEO plans and their used keywords to improvewebsiteSEOplan. In the second phase, website will be optimized using SEO practices. In this methodology,researchauthorre-organized SEO practices to technical SEO practices, on-page SEO practices and off-page SEO practices. Website technical optimization refers to the process of website optimization and preparation for the crawling and indexing by search engine. With technical SEO, website owners can help search engines access, crawl, interpret and index website without any problems. It is called “technical”, because it has nothing to do with the actual content of the website or with website promotion. The main goal of technical SEO is to optimize the infrastructure of a website. Website technical optimization depends on website technical analysis On-page SEO defines as SEO techniques which should be done on website to get high rankinginSERP. Thistechniques should be done on html code and website content. [5]. Off- page SEO is the actions carried out in other websites and affect website ranking in SERP and itresponsibleforwebsite popularity. Off-page SEO also mentioned as backlinks or links. Links are reference to website content in others website, each time website content mentioned in others sites, and website earn new backlink. Links quality and quantity used by google to measure website authority. In the third step, website will be analyzed after optimization phase to measure the efficiency of the proposed practices against the following SEO indicators: a) Impressions: it represents how many times user see website URL in search result. Impressions are recorded whenever a link URL appears on a user’s search results page. Whether or not the link must actually be scrolled into view or otherwise visible depends on the type of search element that contains the link (it can be images carousel in SERP) b) Clicks: any click from the search results page that sendsa user to a page outside of Google Search is considered a click. If for some reason a user would click a link to an outside page, go back to the search results, thenclick that same link again, it would still only count as one click. Clicks are assigned to the URL which the searcher ultimately lands on. So if a page in the SERPs redirects to another page when clicked on, the page that the user is redirected to gets credit for the click [14]. c) Position: The Google Search results page may consist of many search result elements. Search result elements include blue link sections, carousels, featured snippets, Knowledge Graph cards, and many other types of result features. A single search result element can include text, interactive features, and one or more links. d) Website audit: Website audit is a score given by SEMrush tool to website indicates percentage of errors and issues which affect website indexing and ranking in SE. e) Website ranking: Website rank in Google against the keywords list. f) Website visibility: It is an indicator for websiteprogress in Google’s top 100 for selected keywords list. g) Domain authority (DA) : a score developed by Moz [1] that check website strength and relevance for a specific

It depends on the amount and quality of backlinks and the strength and popularity of the domain. It’s a logarithmic scale of points, typically ranging from zero to 100, which predicts how well a website will rank on search engineresultpages(SERPs). The higher the number of points, the higher is a website’s DA. In the final phase, post analysis measurements will be compared with pre-analysis measurements to check the improvement in the post analysis measurementsanddecide if any improvements are needed. 4.
