Web design and functionality are, of course, also important; however, if people can\u2019t find your site, then all your hard design work and the hours, days, or weeks spent on site-building go to waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good SEO practices aren\u2019t hard to learn, but they aren\u2019t easy to master. This article is geared to help any WordPress user succeed with SEO best practices that will help develop their site and skills.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel.com\/layout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2019-05-09_How-to-sell-your-clients-on-managed-WP-hosting-4890-784x523.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-41388\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>SEO Best Practices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#use\">Use Force HTTPS and a good search and replace plugin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#keep\">Keep your site up-to-date<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#goodcdn\">Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#find\">Find a reliable image optimization plugin<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#robots\">Know where your robots.txt file is and how to edit it<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#follow\">Follow content guidelines<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#watchurl\">Watch URL length&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\" id=\"use\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Force HTTPS and a Quality Search and Replace Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The security of your website is crucial. Using HTTPS not only builds trust by ensuring that consumer data is secure but also encrypts website traffic. As a confirmed ranking factor, HTTPS contributes to better visibility on Google. Google advocates for a \u201cfully secure web,\u201d and its ongoing page experience updates emphasize the importance of full HTTPS implementation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Websites without  HTTPS risk lower rankings as this factor becomes increasingly significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Implementing HTTPS in WordPress is straightforward. While plugins like <a href=\"https:\/\/bettersearchreplace.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Better Search Replace<\/a> can convert HTTP links to HTTPS in your database, ensuring that all content securely loads over HTTPS is crucial, tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whynopadlock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Why No Padlock<\/a> can help identify elements that fail to load securely, assisting in troubleshooting potential issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At WP Engine, <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/support\/add-ssl-site\/\">enabling HTTPS<\/a> is made even easier. In addition to providing a <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/support\/add-ssl-site\/#Import_3rd-Party_SSL_Certificate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free SSL certificate for your domain<\/a>, our platform offers a &#8216;Force HTTPS&#8217; option (without the need for an additional plugin). Once you activate this and your SSL certificate is recognized, your site will automatically secure all connections. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This not only bolsters your site\u2019s security but also supports SEO efforts by adhering to Google\u2019s guidelines for a secure web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Your Site Up to Date&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, there have been a few major plugins (both paid and free) that have presented nasty vulnerabilities. As a result, sites have experienced everything from remote code injections, malicious ads, and redirects to malicious domains, not to mention the myriad of other attacks these vulnerabilities can also present.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel.com\/layout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/MQL-Ebook_Content-Creation_Imagery-and-Stop-Motions-Clock-Animated-FB-1200x628-784x410.gif\" alt=\"SEO_best_practices\" class=\"wp-image-36144\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, these types of attacks can affect your Search Engine Results Page (SERP) rankings. That said, numerous attacks related to plugin vulnerabilities can be mitigated by simply keeping your WordPress core software, plugins, and themes up to date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WP Engine can also help here, with <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/smart-plugin-manager\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smart Plugin Manager<\/a>, an ingenious tool that provides automated WordPress plugin and theme updates (including auto-rollback) to keep your sites secure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keeping your site(s) up to date can drastically reduce your exposure to vulnerabilities, and up-to-date sites generally perform better\u2014a win-win for SEO as faster sites tend to rank higher on SERPs.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use a Content Delivery Network (CDN)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel.com\/layout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/2019-10-16_Layout-Repository-9299-784x523.jpg\" alt=\"SEO_best_practices\" class=\"wp-image-41436\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A Content Delivery Network (CDN) speeds up page loads for your site\u2019s visitors, ensuring that your visitors have the quickest experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using a good CDN and image optimization plugins help keep your media responsive and served as quickly as possible. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cloudflare.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cloudflare<\/a> is a great starting point for a CDN, and they also offer a host of other neat offerings, like DDOS protection and DNS masking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a new WP Engine customer, you\u2019ll automatically get <a href=\"https:\/\/wpengine.com\/support\/how-does-a-cdn-work\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cloudflare<\/a> as our CDN offering for our WordPress sites, for free! When your users hit your site, they receive those files from the server that is geographically closest to them, which decreases load time, improves performance, and ensures all users have the same high-quality digital experience (no matter where they\u2019re located)!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find a Reliable Image Optimization Plugin<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WordPress plugin directory<\/a>, you can search for optimization plugins to help optimize image sizes. <a href=\"https:\/\/wp-rocket.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">WP Rocket<\/a> is a great tool to help with overall site performance, but it does cost money. From my experience, <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/wp-smushit\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Smush<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/plugins\/autoptimize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Autoptimize<\/a> are great starter offerings to optimize sites, minimize your stylesheets, and help improve site performance. These are not 100% foolproof solutions, but they will keep your site optimized if used right, and don\u2019t forget\u2014Google loves fast sites!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Know Where Your Robots.txt File is and How to Edit It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your robots.txt file is the core of your site\u2019s ability to be readable by search engines. It&#8217;s the text file that tells web crawlers and robots what pages they can and cannot crawl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ability for Google to read this file and understand what permissions it has as it sends requests to the web server for your site data is pivotal to your site\u2019s ability to be indexed through Google. Having a basic or non-existent robots.txt can often mean lower rankings, as Google will try to index pages it shouldn\u2019t (if you don\u2019t want it to), or may struggle with permissions to index pages it should. You can find your robots.txt file in the root directory of your website (often under the \/www directory).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I recommend this great guide on a visual overview of robots.txt here at <a href=\"https:\/\/varvys.com\/robottxt.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Varvy<\/a>. It&#8217;s an excellent resource for an overview on the different types of commands you can alter in your robots.txt file!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Follow Content Guidelines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This (arguably) may be the core SEO tenant, and it all relates to content. Write and post the highest quality content you can possibly create. Why? Google favors articles that link back to other pieces of content you have written (a process known as internal linking), where images have the right information and tags associated with them (so Google can index their content better and faster), so the highest quality content is served on their search engine.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/getflywheel.com\/layout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/define-content-strategy-feature-large-1-784x218.jpg\" alt=\"Define marketing team's content strategy\" class=\"wp-image-31441\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, remember you are creating content for your client or customer and not for Google\u2014a by-product of great content is an SEO boost, but it is always nice to know that the better your content, the higher potential you have for better ranking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great content guideline would be to name all images you upload to the site and add a description. This primarily helps with content indexing for Google and is great for search SEO with Google images. <a href=\"https:\/\/yoast.com\/image-seo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Yoast SEO has a great guide<\/a> on image SEO and how it works from optimization, to correct alt &amp; title naming, and even site maps. It&#8217;s a great contextual read for those who want to start doing some more advanced steps to better understand the finer minutia of SEO for their site&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The last content guideline is to make sure you watch your sentence length. The hardest thing to do if you\u2019re on a roll is to edit and condense what you are saying in a blog post or a recipe or any kind of long-form content on a site. However, poor sentence structure is the bane of the user\u2019s existence, and remember\u2014good SEO considers good user experience, which relates back to how your user experiences the site. Keep your sentences concise, and to the point, and avoid waffling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Watch URL Length<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great tip for your site\u2019s ranking health (as well as a good quality of life tip!), is to watch the length of your page URLs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users do not like long page names, and sharing links with super long URLs doesn\u2019t have a huge impact on Google\u2019s ability to crawl and index the URL. However, remember that you are making content for your users, and long domains can be cumbersome for users and harder to read, especially for subpages with longer titles. We recommend reading this article from <a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/seo-urls\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Neil Patel on URL optimization.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator aligncenter has-css-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Using some of these skills combined with any good practices you have already developed, should hopefully set you up for some better site optimization in the months ahead!
