Our search engine optimisation process

SEO for WordPress websites

Thanks to our many years of experience in search engine optimisation (SEO) for WordPress pages we know about the possibilities and challenges. The good news is: WordPress sites can generally be optimised very well for search engines such as Google. When it comes to search engine optimisation, we work with with these guiding principles:

  • No rankings without content.
  • No control without structure.
  • No success without measurement.

Prepare existing content for users and crawlers

Content (texts, images, videos, products or other offers) is of course independent of the CMS (content management system). However, the WordPress CMS helps to present the content to the user in an attractive way and to optimise the metadata. By metadata we mean, among other things

  • the title tag of the page,
  • the meta description of the page,
  • the alt tag for images and links,
  • structured data (addresses, locations, FAQ, etc.).

This metadata is important for the user, but also for the Google crawlerbecause the easier it is made for the Google crawler, the more content can be indexed become.

Structure via navigation, URLs and headings

In addition to the content, the Structure of the website a decisive success factor for successful SEO. WordPress already offers the most important functions here as standard:

  • readable and hierarchical URLs,
  • Simple labelling of headings,
  • Simple creation of menus.

With a free SEO extension (plugin) for WordPress, such as Yoast or Rank Mathfurther SEO functions for the WordPress site can be added:

  • Add metadata (especially title tag and meta description),
  • Create and submit XML sitemap,
  • Redirect from old to new URLs.

SEO tools to track changes

More contacts or more orders are of course the best thing Indication of successful SEO. However, in order to measure the effects of the measures or the current status, other tools, some of which are chargeable, must be used. We recommend the following tools to our customers for SEO-relevant websites:

  • Google Analytics (free of charge, note GDPR),
  • Search Console (free, from Google),
  • Xovi, Sistrix, Seobility or similar (for a fee).

We are also happy to train our customers in the relevant tools so that they can visualise the success themselves and derive further SEO measures.

SEO for WooCommerce shops

Large parts of SEO for websites are related to SEO for WooCommerce shops identical. Nevertheless, there are differences in the procedure and in the measurement.

Focus on product and category pages

The focus of search engine optimisation for online shops is usually on the product and category pages, i.e. pages on which the user can order something should be placed in the Google ranking. We achieve this by emphasising the following measures:

  • Structured data on product features (including FAQs where applicable),
  • informative product images including meta labelling,
  • Meaningful product description including URLs and metadata,
  • Integration of an evaluation system (reviews).

Sales directly traceable 

For websites that aim to generate leads (i.e. make contact), it is difficult or even impossible to trace the source of an enquiry. It is much easier in online shopping. Due to the Defining conversionse.g. via Google Analytics or the Google Tag Manager, paths can be traced and thus, for example, the monetary value of a visitor can be determined.

Avoid "crashing" during revisions

Whether it's a website or a shop, in both cases, when redesigning or revising, the Use of the existing rankings should be taken into account. Many website operators wonder why enquiries or orders decline after a redesign, even though the new version is much more appealing or more comprehensive.

The reason: The old URLs are still ranked in Google search or are linked from other websites.

The result: The new website shows a 404 error page and the user cannot find what they are looking for. Google will take this as a negative sign and penalise your new presence for the time being.

The solution: We create 301 redirects for every project in which existing structures (URLs) have been changed. This means that the old URL is mapped to the new URL or redirected to another useful page.
