In this episode, we explore nine essential Google design and content guidelines aimed at enhancing your website’s search engine optimization (SEO) performance. Key topics include:
1. Establishing a Clear Site Hierarchy and Text Links:
Ensuring every page is accessible through at least one static text link to facilitate user navigation and search engine crawling.
2. Providing a User-Friendly Sitemap:
Offering a sitemap that links to important sections of your site, and breaking it into multiple pages if it exceeds 100 links to maintain usability.
3. Creating Valuable, Information-Rich Content:
Developing pages that clearly and accurately describe your content to meet user needs and improve relevance.
4. Incorporating Relevant Keywords Thoughtfully:
Identifying terms users might search for and naturally integrating them into your content to enhance discoverability.
5. Utilizing Text Over Images for Important Content:
Displaying critical names, content, or links in text format, as search engines cannot interpret text within images.
6. Crafting Descriptive TITLE Tags and ALT Attributes:
Ensuring TITLE tags and ALT attributes are accurate and descriptive to aid search engines and improve accessibility.
7. Regularly Checking for Broken Links and HTML Errors:
Maintaining site integrity by routinely fixing broken links and correcting HTML issues to enhance user experience and search rankings.
8. Managing Dynamic Pages Effectively:
Keeping URL parameters short and few in number, as some search engines struggle with crawling complex dynamic pages.
9. Limiting the Number of Links per Page:
Keeping the number of links on a single page to a reasonable number, ideally fewer than 100, to ensure clarity and prevent dilution of link value.
Join us as we delve into these guidelines to optimize your website’s design and content, aiming for improved SEO outcomes and a better user experience.
