Improving SEO in Site Editor
While SEO algorithms are constantly evolving, Site Editor's templates incorporate various known best practices to improve search engine performance. Here are some SEO-friendly features built into every Site Editor site:
- Clean HTML Markup: Site Editor pages have clean HTML markup, making them easily indexable by search engines. Heading styles automatically create <h1> and <h2> tags.
- Automatic Tagging: Images include all necessary tags for better search engine indexing. Meta tags for pages and RSS feeds are automatically generated, and image descriptions are converted to <alt> tags.
- Clean URLs: Pages on your site have clean URLs that are easily indexed and read.
- Automatic Redirects: Site Editor redirects users and search engines to the primary domain if multiple domains are connected to your Site Editor website.
- Built-in Mobile Optimization: Google prioritizes mobile-optimized sites in search rankings. Site Editor templates are designed to be mobile-friendly and search engine-friendly.
Increasing Your Site's Visibility to Search Engines
While Site Editor provides SEO-friendly features, effective SEO strategies require additional effort. Here are some tips to consider:
- Add Page SEO Titles and Meta Descriptions: These HTML tags provide a brief summary of your page's content and appear in search engine results. Use relevant keywords and keep them concise.
- Structure Content with Headings: Use headings to organize content on your website. Headings help search engines understand your site's main themes and make it easier for visitors to find information.
- Add Alt Text to Images: Alt text describes images for visually impaired users and helps search engines understand image content. Use concise, relevant terms in the alt text.
While Site Editor provides a strong foundation for SEO, a comprehensive SEO strategy may involve additional factors like keyword research, content creation, and link building.
