Purely from the HTML side:

  • Use Semantic HTML: Use tags like <header>, <nav>, <main>, <article>, <section>, and <footer> to provide meaningful structure.
  • Proper Heading Hierarchy: Use headings (<h1> to <h6>) correctly, making sure <h1> is used once per page for the main title, followed by <h2>, <h3>, etc.
  • Meta Tags: Include relevant <meta> tags, such as description, keywords, and viewport, to provide metadata about the website.
  • Alt Attributes on images: Use alt attributes for images to describe the content, improving accessibility and search engine understanding.

On top of that:

  • Internal Linking: Make sure to use internal links to connect content within your web site, helping search engines crawl and understand the site structure.
  • Mobile-Friendly Design: Code your site and CSS with a mobile-first mindset. Ensuring the site is responsive and mobile-friendly to improve user experience and ranking on search engines.
  • Fast Loading Times: Try to optimize images, use efficient code, and leverage caching to improve page load speeds. The faster the page loads, the bigger the advantage it’ll have against other similar results on the SERP.
