• One important thing: Add a metadescription in the ‘Edit snippet’ option at the end of the article.

Remember, what catches the readers best and what introduces our article best are the lines deserve to be the metadescription.

• The images must be clear. If not clear, click the image, press the ‘Pencil’ like option, the a new page will come along with many options like caption, size etc. Click size, and select full size. Then save.
  Remember, the full size of the image may cause the image to become too large. In that case, click the big image, and adjust it to a desired size by moving its outer sides.
