But we still want to emphasize that ranking on search engines like Google depends on so much more than just on-page optimization. Rank Math, like any other SEO plugin or software, is – at the end of the day – simply software. Its effectiveness depends on how well you use it. You could have the perfect article and still struggle to break the top 10 in SERPs. Here are some of the factors Google considers when ranking you:
1. Your website’s authority
2. Your content’s quality and how better it is than the other article currently ranking.
3. How competitive the keyword is.
4. How many backlinks you have and if they are better than what the other guys ranking for that keyword have.
5. Your website’s crawlability.
6. Frequency of new content and content updates.
7. So much more that there is a dedicated blog post on it by Brian Dean 🙂
