Remember that SEO is an ongoing process, and results may take time to materialize. Staying up-to-date with industry trends and algorithm updates is crucial to maintaining and improving your website's search engine rankings. </div><div><br /></div><div>Below are some SEO best practices you should consider.</div></div><div data-component-type="informative"><div class="info-container" info-color="green"><div class="info-title">Before you begin:</div><div class="info-content"><div>Make sure that you have <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/enabling-search-engines-like-google-to-index-your-site" target="">set your site to be found by search engines</a>.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="" level="4">Create quality content</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Let's talk about the magic ingredient—quality content. It's the key to climbing the Google ranks. If you ever find yourself wondering why you're not ranking as high as you'd like, consider taking another look at your list of target keywords. Put yourself in your customer's shoes and ask, &quot;What would one of my customers type into Google when looking for a business like mine?&quot;</div><div><br /></div><div>Content is at the heart of SEO. Create high-quality content that not only incorporates your target keywords but also provides valuable information, answers questions, and engages your audience. For example, make sure your products or services have clear descriptions, and write engaging blog posts. Consistency in content creation is essential for building authority.</div></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Google tends to favor sites that are well-written and frequently updated content. Regularly publishing blog posts, ones that your target audience will enjoy or find informative, is a very effective way of doing so. It helps attract and engage your target audience and get links (backlinks) to your site from relevant or reputable sites. This improves your online reputation and credibility, increasing your chances of ranking higher in search results.</div></div><div data-component-type="informative"><div class="info-container" info-color="green"><div class="info-title"></div><div class="info-content"><div>Learn how to <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-blog-adding-and-setting-up-your-blog" target="">add and set up Wix Blog</a>.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="" level="4">Research keywords</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Conduct thorough research to identify the most relevant and valuable keywords for your website. Understanding what terms your target audience uses will guide you in creating content that aligns with their interests and needs. </div><div><br /></div><div>Use <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/using-keyword-research-tools-to-optimize-your-sites-seo" target="">Wix's keyword research tool integration</a> to discover descriptive and intricate keyword strings, ensuring your content addresses the depth and complexity of user search queries, moving beyond basic terms like 'shoes'. It can help you discover valuable keywords that strike a balance between search volume and competition. </div><div><br /></div><div>Remember, the strategic use of long-tail keywords, which are longer and more specific keyword phrases, can significantly boost your online visibility and engagement. For example, instead of targeting the broad keyword 'shoes,' you could use a long-tail keyword like 'best running shoes for flat feet.' This caters to a more specific audience looking for precisely what your site offers. Long-tail keywords allow your site's content to align more closely with the unique queries that users enter into search engines. This, in turn, increases the likelihood of your site appearing in relevant search results and attracting highly targeted traffic.</div></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="" level="4">Add keywords to your site's pages</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>It's not just about having keywords; it's about using them thoughtfully.

The trick is to make it all sound natural, like a friendly conversation with your visitors.</div></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Remember, keywords should be optimized at the page level, not the site level. Each page can and should be tailored to different keywords within a related topic. It's not about repeating the same word excessively but ensuring that each page thoroughly explores a specific topic or keyword to enhance its relevance and user experience.</div></div><div data-component-type="heading"><h2 id="" level="4">Optimize on-page SEO</h2></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Optimize on-page elements like title tags, meta descriptions, headers, and URLs with your chosen keywords.

Using Keywords on Your Site's Pages

<div data-component-type="text"><div>Keywords and search phrases are words, or groups of words, that a user enters into search engines in order to be matched with relevant content.

  <li>Your keywords should appear throughout the content of your site. Use these words in your site's text in an organic way, keeping them in their correct context.</li>  <li>If you feel that a certain search phrase cannot be mentioned any more in your site content (organically), try adding more content to your site. Make sure that these additions contribute something of value to your site visitors.</li>  <li>Use keywords and search phrases that you want search engines to relate to your site.</li>  <li>Use keywords and search phrases that you think your site's potential visitors are entering in search engines to find you, your company, or the service you provide.</li>  <li>Each search phrase should be between 1 to 4 words.</li>  <li>Consider the amount of competition for a given keyword or search phrase and try to use specific and unique phrases. For example:
    <ul>
      <li>Broad terms with high competition for ranking: Jaguar, Car, California Dealerships </li>      <li>More specific terms: Bob's Jaguar Dealership: Jaguar Dealership in East Bakersfield</li>    </ul>  </li>  <li>Make the most of your content by using keywords and search phrases that contribute to your SEO. </li></ul></div><div data-component-type="informative"><div class="info-container" info-color="orange"><div class="info-title">Important:</div><div class="info-content"><div>Any edits or changes to your site must be crawled again by search engines before they appear in search results.

Defining your Site's Hierarchy for SEO

<div data-component-type="text"><div>Improve search engines' and visitors' understanding of the relationship between your site's pages by defining your site's hierarchy. You can define the relationships between your site's main pages (Editor pages).

Search engines tend to rank pages higher in search results that are closest in relation to your homepage, so it's important to position your pages correctly within your hierarchy. </div></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>Defining a hierarchical site structure requires setting up a parent - child relationship between your site's main pages. A parent page is a top-level page with child pages nested under it. Your site's hierarchy is represented through URLs.</div></div><div data-component-type="text"><div>For example, you could set your parent page to be &quot;About Our Customers&quot; and a child page to be &quot;Customer Stories&quot;.

This means your hierarchical structure cannot exceed the following format: www.mydomain.com/<strong>great-grandparent/grandparent/parent/child/grandchild</strong>.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I define a page hierarchy for pages that are part of Wix Apps?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>No. It's not possible to define a hierarchy for pages that are part of Wix apps, for example, Product pages, Blog pages or Members Area pages etc. This is because these pages already have their own predefined hierarchical structure in place.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I change my homepage's position in the site hierarchy?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>No. Your homepage by default always assumes the highest position in your site's hierarchy. This means you can't position your homepage to be a child of another page. <br />
<br />
You can, however, <a data-composite="true" href="https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-editor-changing-your-sites-home-page" target="">set a new homepage</a>, but keep in mind that this will flatten the URL of any child pages assigned to it. For example, a URL for a child page with a parent like www.mydomain.com/parent/child will flatten to www.mydomain.com/child.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">How do I remove a page as a parent?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>You can remove a page as a parent by setting the homepage of your site to be the parent instead. For example, a URL for a child page with a parent like www.mydomain.com/parent/child will flatten to www.mydomain.com/child.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">What happens if I delete a parent page?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>If you delete a parent page, the URL of any child pages assigned to that parent will flatten. For example, a URL for a child page with a parent like www.mydomain.com/parent/child will flatten to www.mydomain.com/child.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Can I define a site hierarchy for my multilingual site?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>Yes. You can define your multilingual site's hierarchy by setting up parent-child relationships between pages in your site's main language. Keep in mind that it is not possible to set up site hierarchies per individual language. The hierarchy you set for your main language applies to all secondary languages.</div></div></div></div><div data-component-type="collapsible"><div><h4 class="collapsible-title">Will my traffic to my pages be automatically redirected?</h4><div class="collapsible-content"><div>If you have your own custom domain, traffic will be automatically redirected to both the new URL and its child pages' URLs.
