How to Build an SEO-Friendly Webpage: Guide For Beginners

So you want to create the perfect SEO-friendly webpage? An SEO-friendly website is designed with search engine optimisation (SEO) in mind from the very first draft.

In other words, it has been built with keywords and search engine algorithms (SEO) in mind from the very first draft. It's not that different types of websites are wrong, but they are missing some key elements that will help them rank higher on Google and other search engines.

Building an SEO-friendly webpage should be at the top of your priority list if your goal is to drive more traffic and get more clicks on your webpage. Whether you're an expert in designing websites or a complete newbie, you can follow these tips to build your optimized website.

Why Build an SEO-Friendly Webpage?

Building an SEO-friendly webpage is a must if you want to grow your business. If you want to get your website ranked higher on Google, then this is the first thing you need to do. If your goal is to get more traffic and clicks, it should be at the top of your list.

This webpage will help optimize their organic search engine rankings better than any other webpage. This happens because it has been built specifically for search engines like Google and Yahoo.

It's not that other types of websites are wrong, but they are missing some key elements that will help them rank higher on Google and other search engines.

The Importance of Keyword Research

It would help if you always started with keyword research. Keywords are words or phrases people search for on Google and other search engines. They are what people type into the search bar to find something specific to them. For example, let's say you want to know how many calories are in a banana. If you typed 'how many calories in a banana' into the search engine, it would automatically bring up a results page with the answer. The keywords are like doors; they help you get the correct result when someone searches for something specific.


The most important thing about keywords is knowing how much competition there is for each of your chosen keywords. People will be searching for those keywords frequently, so ensure you understand the amount of competition before beginning your website's design process.

Make Sure Your Website Is Mobile Friendly

So, you've started your website, but one thing is missing – it's not mobile-friendly. Do you want more people to view your website on their phones? Of course, you do! Making sure your website is mobile-friendly will help it rank higher on Google and other search engines. Search engines rank websites optimized for smartphones and tablets because they think users can more easily access the information displayed on these devices.

There are many ways to make sure your site is mobile-friendly. Here are some tips:

  • Utilize site contrast (e.g., use a different colour scheme)
  • Create less detailed content for mobile
  • Make use of photo or video galleries
  • Hide text with bullets or other types of images

 Don't Forget About Link Building.

Linking to your website is one of the most important aspects of SEO. If you don't create links, then Google won't rank your website--and it 			won't drive traffic to your website either. Make sure you have a link-building strategy before you build your webpage.

Include Video and Images on Your Website

Video and images are two of the most important yet often ignored parts of an SEO-friendly webpage. Photos help tell a story and make your webpage more visually appealing to your audience. You can also use pictures for SEO purposes. For example, if you're holding a product in one hand, you can use that as an image for your webpage to entice people to buy it online. The same goes for video content. Videos have been proven to positively affect user experience, which can lead to increased traffic and sales. 

Google's algorithm is based mainly on user experience and search engine algorithms (SEO). If your website contains videos and images, you give Google's algorithm what it wants. And suppose users are happy with the experience they get from your website. In that case, they'll continue returning because they enjoy their time there. This makes video and image content integral parts of an SEO-friendly website.

Summing up

There are so many steps you can take to make an SEO-friendly webpage. By following these tips, you're on your way to building a successful and effective website.

Focus on your keywords

If you want your website to rank higher on search engines, then you need to focus on the keywords that are relevant to your website's topic. Use those keywords in your title tags, meta description tags, file names, URL addresses, and more. Make sure that your keyword strategy is clear and cohesive.

Use a descriptive URL

The website address's first 10-15 words should be descriptive of the content within the site's domain name. For example www.monkeysarecool.com/hot-monkey-photos.

Consider using images in your web pages
