Domain Name:

Google gives priority to the content present in the web page. Google has the main motive of delivering the best results to the user’s query. Hence update the quality contents in the site and avoid duplicate pages.
Basic Optimization:
Once the new website is updated with the fresh contents, make sure you do some basic On-Page like optimizing the title tags, meta descriptions, URL slug, etc.
