When you can use the 1.5 Rule which is simply to get part of your keyword phrase back in again in the headline or use a related or LSI search term in there too.
Yoast SEO Plugin is really useful at this stage even though the title you add to Yoast plugin is for the search engines and your headline is for your blog.

"On Page SEO Techniques in 2014 For Optimizing WordPress"
You can see the main keyword of "On page SEO" is right at the start and I have used part of a related term in "Optimization" within the same headline.

Personally I like to use the /%category%/%postname%/ permalink but many people prefer just /%postname%/ and get their title in with keywords very early.
Use Yoast SEO Plugin To be Able to see snippets as you type the SEO Title too and you can also consider using "WP Category Permalink Plugin" To Control Your URL when using Sub Categories
