Don’t try to rank for “Best Pizza”
Instead, rank for “Best deep dish Chicago style pizza in NYC”

Good content naturally gets backlinks
If you are able to generate fresh and good quality content then your article should be referred by other premium sites. So, focus to prepare content, not backlinks.
9. Avoid Using The Same Images
Google has BIG eyes than we think. So, always it identifies the repeated content and images. If you use any repeated content and image then google will not focus on your content. So, try to use fresh content and images. If not, you can use online free image sources.
Lots of free image sources are available now and most content writers use the same online sources. Follow the below process when you use images from online sources,
