Increasing your Post Ranking

I've been learning a lot from this website lately and I've been putting all of it to use and I'm beginning to see result. So for two days I created two long posts on two different topics and used Yoast to optimize the blog posts and immediately requested indexing from Google. I've attached the result of the action below, now the blog posts are coming up for different search terms related to the keywords, now my question is that how can I optimize the article or my blog to be able to rank higher in searches, currently I have 0 backlinks but my SEM Rush dashboard shows that I have 14 organic keywords

Google released an update called "Hilltop" many years ago.

It's still a valid algo update.

Hilltop rewards pages that link out to high authority sites.

If you don't want to build backlinks or can't do so and you're already ranking (although very badly) according to SEMRUSH, try linking out to high authority content on .gov or .edu sites

Thanks for that advice, would sure try it out and see how it goes

Try linking to .gov and .edu sites (make sure they are Relevant) Bu dont over do it. It might affect your results.
