Webflow has quickly become the go-to option for any and all budding and experienced web designers looking for a platform outside of the usual WordPress ecosystem. In fact, it has even been endorsed by some of the key SEO payers in the market, including the highly respected and well-informed Authority Hacker Duo. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you’re new to this platform and have been using other CMS options throughout your development career, change can be scary, particularly when it comes to implementing the incredibly fickle factor of SEO into the mix. In this post, we’re taking a look at a few best practices relevant to Webflow, specifically that anyone can use to increase the organic traffic flowing onto their pages.<\/span><\/p>\n

Make Sure Your Design Is On Point<\/span><\/h2>\n

SEO has gone through a funny few years. It used to be that you could create any kind of website, and as long as you threw enough random links at it, you would win over your competition. Then, once that was washed away by the big G like some detritus chucked overboard, there was a need to create intricate websites that utilized better content and links. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, that didn’t change significantly; the speed of your website had a far more profound impact on whether our Google overlords deemed your site was worthy or not, and so many webmasters went down the path of pairing things down to the bare bones so that their sites would meet the somewhat confusing page speed metrics that made a difference. <\/span><\/p>\n

Nowadays, we’ve come somewhat full circle. While low-quality content and links are still a thing of the past, users demand a far more streamlined and good-looking website that they’re able to navigate through with ease while still maintaining the speed requirements that they’ve become accustomed to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Legacy platforms like WordPress and Elementor have become overly bloated and unable to offer beautiful designs without sacrificing speed, leaving an option like Webflow as the most obvious successor. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to <\/span>Paddle Creative<\/span><\/a>, a UK-based developer specializing in Webflow website design and development, the data-driven design could improve your ROI. And, while great design at fast speeds won’t help to push your website to the top of the search results alone, they go a long way in creating the foundation on which other techniques can build.<\/span><\/p>\n

Implement Structured Data For Rich Snippets<\/span><\/h2>\n

A great SEO tactic that improves website exposure and click-through rates is using structured data for rich snippets.\u00a0 This enhanced appearance distinguishes listings and raises the possibility of user clicks, therefore generating more traffic.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

By allowing context regarding website content and better categorizing and indexing, structured data also helps search engine knowledge. More successful matching of search query results may improve target keyword ranks.\u00a0 Rich snippets have a clear benefit over other websites in your industry as they draw more attention and help to establish brand trust.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Moreover, organized data maximizes material for voice search, so it guarantees a reliable information supply by voice assistants (and possibly AI-based search, which is <\/span>becoming more and more common<\/span><\/a>). Although not a direct ranking consideration, better exposure, and click-through rates help support higher ranks indirectly.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Above all, structured data enhances rather than substitutes excellent content. Webflow has options that allow you to add these data directly to the <head> section of each page where it makes sense to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n
