Getting SEO done in Weebly
One of the attractive features of website builders like Weebly is that they are easy to use for anyone and there is little risk of you ruining your site by accidentally altering code or making a silly mistake. There are a few things that Weebly does for you already that make your web optimization easier, among them:
- SSL is not always offered free (only on some plans), but you can easily acquire it through Weebly without having to go search elsewhere and going back and forth.
- 301 redirects are extremely easy to implement on your own and will help you avoid the dreaded broken links which can be bad for SEO.
- Weebly automatically generates and submits a Sitemap of your site to search engines.
- It’s extremely easy to add alt-text to the images in your site.
- You have an entire section within the Weebly Editor dedicated to SEO. If you go to Settings and then SEO, you can edit each page of your site and optimize it. What to put in each section? What is all this about H1, Meta description, title, tags? When to do it? Setup marketgoo and find out 🙂
- The blogging function within Weebly has come a long way, and you can optimize each post easily for maximum search engine visibility. You’ll be able to edit the ‘permalink’ (the post’s unique URL), the title tag (aka SEO Post Title) and the meta description (aka SEO Post Description). If you use marketgoo you’ll get an explanation on how to best edit these.
- Weebly’s got you covered on the basics you need to offer a good mobile experience.
More tips for managing your SEO on a Weebly site
- Try not to depend on just your home page to attract traffic. Have all your pages highly focused on different subjects that are relevant to your audience so you can rank for all the keywords you are aiming for. Always used the Advanced Settings for every page you create.
- Link, link, and then link some more! Become an expert at creating links within your page, to other pages, and getting your site linked back to.
- Use Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools. Yes, it has a lot of information and some of it can be confusing and sometimes conflict with the metrics you see from other analytics sites (this is normal), but it gives you a good idea of where you are and of major errors.
- Understand what your keywords are, and who your competitors are. You have to know how users are reaching your site, and what kind of content you can create that is relevant to them.
