#1 Title. If you want to write an SEO-friendly article, the most important thing is to write the article based on some keyword research and give the title of the article to something relevant to that keyword, preferrably at the beginning of the title.

So, if you want to optimize to “KPI Dashboard”, based on a research on Google Trends and Google Keyword Planner, you should give the article a title starting with “KPI Dashboard”. It’s OK to use variations, such as plural or similar other variations of the terms.

For example, if you write about KPIs, you might want to include the top KPIs one can use or the types of KPIs which exist.
