Internal linking is another organic search technique you can use for your landing pages to improve your Google quality score.

Get your high volume keywords into your content

As with organic search optimization you cannot effectively optimize a single page for more than a couple of key words or phrases. Take your top performing keywords or your top volume keywords and integrate them into the content of your landing page. Run all your keyword density diagnostics on your landing page just like you would for organic search optimization. Tweak the content until you get a keyword density you would be happy with for organic search. Watch your Google quality score improve!

Tweak your landing page’s meta tags

In a similar vein to the previous point… add your top performing or top volume keywords to your landing page’s keyword meta tags, page description meta tags, and even title tags. Run all your keyword density diagnostics on your landing page just like you would for organic search optimization. Tweak the content until you get a keyword density you would be happy with for organic search.

Add Essential Site Pages

Make sure your site privacy policy page is linked to your landing page, somewhere in your header or footer is usually a convenient place.
