Search Engine Optimization

10 essential questions to ask yourself so that your website gets the best ranking possible.

2. Is your website regularly submitted to Google?

To know if your website is in Google or when it will be, you can check the Google status line on the page My websites.

3. Are your keywords well chosen?

Google is a search engine which tries to order its results from the more to the less pertinent. To be pertinent, a website must talk about the searched keywords and it must be popular for those keywords.

4. Did you personalize your page titles and descriptions?

Google search results show the title of your website and pages, and the description you wrote. The latter should contain keywords (this is one of the most important criterium for Google to categorize websites) and be well written (because it will be available for reading on the search results). For example, begin your website and page title with a capital letter, choose an interesting and precise description which will give people interest in visiting your website.

To modify your title and description, on the website building tool, click on a page name and then on Page details. You can also customise the default title and description for your website: go to the page My websites and click on Other actions and Search engines.

5. Did you create links accross your pages?

Beside the automatic menu which allows search engines to discover all your website pages, try to add links containing keywords between your pages (especially links pointing to your first page anytime you use some keywords in your texts). This will inform Google that the linked page is about those keywords.

To insert SEO links on your website, follow the steps in the question 1. How to insert a link in my website? of FAQ.

6. Are your keywords sufficiently present on your website?

Texts on your website must clearly use your keywords and associated expressions. Do not hesitate to repeat those keywords and bold the important ones. Today search engines consider words of the same family quite equally: so keep your sentence natural (for exemple free and freely will be considered of the same family).

Caution, avoid adding keyword lists to your website or hidden keywords. This may be considered as spaming by search engines. 

7. Did you add descriptions for your images?

Since Google ca not see images, it is not possible for it to index correctly pages which only contain images. Do not hesitate to describe your images and carousels using keywords.

To describe an image, just use a text block in which you will enter the SEO description.
