Proper SEO comes down to many things:

1. Good website architecture and search engine friendly backend coding
2. Intuitive, user friendly website design
3. Long-form content ranks highest (over 2,000 words)
4. On-page SEO (a website that is fully optimized for SEO)
5. Off-page SEO (link building, or gaining links on other high authority, relevant websites)
6. Social media marketing and gaining shares, likes, comments, etc.
7. Yes, consistently fresh content that is SEO optimized with keywords (without keyword spamming) and related terms (LSI keywords which are synonyms and similar "like" terms)

The three top ranking factors today are great content, backlinks, and now Rankbrain, which is determining and satisfying user intent with a search term.

SEO is a multi-faceted process that takes months to implement and achieve higher rankings....
Oops. I forgot to mention two other important ranking factors:

8. Fast page load time (3 seconds or less)
9. Mobile-friendly website (Google soon will have a mobile first index)
