I have a XenForo forum where my SEO isn't very good at all. It's still a pretty new forum, so I'm not too worried about it yet. However, I was still wondering: Does anyone have any good "In general type tips" or a favorite SEO plugin for XenForo? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I don't have a specific tip for XenForo SEO, however a general tip would be don't link your site as "XenForo forum" instead link it as something you would want your site to be known for, example "Website Forums".
I see more disadvantages on Xenforo forum templates and need to be improved them better, it's about on-page SEOJohn said:

Your forum is probably too general, so that could be part of the reason. You need to optimize it to attract a certain type of audience, but you can't do that starting out if it's too broad. Our forum is on Xenforo, and while it too is general, it's main topics are anime and gaming. That's how we draw in members. When they are not interested in either of those things for a while, they can discuss other topics. Our forum is less than 2 months old, so really learning how best to optimise it myself, but I did change a few keywords and added keywords to the meta name as well. Instead of Sakuga City, it's now Sakuga City – Anime, Manga and Gaming Community or something like that. I noticed better visibility on search engines just by changing small things like that.
This forum has it right. People come here for the promotion tips and there are lots of other topics that they can get into if they get bored with promotion topics.
Put your main niche topics/forums first and put the general forums further down the board.
Nowadays it is more difficult to get a forum off the ground.

I have to agree with this point and visited the OP's forum and it's hard to find some things I need.
The content is a thing need to consider to add on your forum to improve SEO.
Other than that, quality backlinks are always a must if you want to get first position on search engines.
