Hello Samina! I would suggest the following:

1. Keyword Optimization

Strategically incorporating your target keywords into important on-page elements like titles, headers, body content, URLs, image alt text, etc. This helps search engines understand the relevance of your page to those terms.

2. Content Quality

Creating high-quality, in-depth, engaging content that comprehensively covers a topic and satisfies searcher intent is hugely important. Longer-form content tends to get prioritized.

3. Page Structure

Having a clean, logical structure with proper use of header tags (H1, H2, etc), short paragraphs, bulleted lists, and multimedia makes your content more readable and crawlable.

4. URL Structure

Using brief, keyword-rich, descriptive URLs without unnecessary strings of numbers/parameters sends positive relevance signals.

5. Page Speed

Since faster loading times improve user experience, having an optimized site with compressed files, efficient code, browser caching enabled, etc. has become an essential on-page factor.

Some other important mentions are mobile-friendliness, schema markup, alt text, meta descriptions, internal linking structure, and minimizing redirect chains.

But if I had to prioritize the top 5, I'd focus first on nailing keyword integration, substantive content, sound hierarchy/formatting, concise URLs, and fast load times. Those are some of the most impactful on-page elements search engines pay close attention to.
