1.     Make your content insanely actionable: Nowadays Google gives tremendous importance to RankBrain update. 

RankBrain measures on how Google searchers interact with your site in the search results. If people like your site, Google gives you a ranking boost, if not they’ll drop your rankings like a stone.

b.     Outline the benefits someone will get after reading your content.

c.      Finally, it’s the time for the preview. This is something you preview, what your content has in store for them.

3.     Use External Links: Pages that use external links consistently outrank pages that didn’t link out. Always generously link out to other authority sites in your content.

Those Internal links will send link authority to your post which can help your Google Rankings.
