Depending on where you are in the process, here’s a quick overview:

1 ) Determine reasonable keyword placement goals
2 ) Make sure your homepage title tag, meta description and meta keywords have your primary keywords featured prominently. Add your primary keyword to image alt tags. (basic optimization)
3 ) Use your website architecture to highlight the homepage for this phrase
4 ) Make sure your primary keywords are present in your homepage text
5 ) Follow the same basic optimization practice on other pages of your website for secondary keywords related to your primary keywords.
6 ) Create an HTML sitemap listing the pages of your website
7 ) While you wait for the search engines to spider your optimized website, find related websites in your industry and contact them to see if they’ll link to your website.
8 ) Find industry directories, and submit your website to them.

With the above advice, you are addressing on-page and off-page factors, making sure your website discusses the keywords you want to rank for, and increasing your inbound links. These are the broad, critical factors that directly affect your websites ranking in search engines.
