Mobile Friendliness

Research shows, over half of the website traffic comes from mobile devices. Therefore search engines consider mobile-friendly sites to rank higher.

Therefore to reach a larger audience you should optimize your site for mobile phones.

Website Speed

All the pages in your site should load instantly otherwise it will impact your user experience and visitors will go off your site. Devote your time to remove unnecessary plugins, optimize images, and so on.
According to the research, 88% of the visitors click off the site that has a poor user experience.

User Friendly

Content strategy is an essential part of SEO so you should present the content from the point of view of your readers. Your content should be user-friendly so that your audience will not go off the page.

Images that take a long time to load, too many hyperlinks, text that is difficult to read against the background are some of the examples of bad website design.

Site Map

A sitemap is the structure of your website that helps search engines to crawl and index. A good site map will help you rank higher thereby increasing the site traffic.

After creating proper content, you should land your website visitors at the right place, by internal linking that makes sense to you.

Engaging and Fresh Content

You should create fresh and informative content to rank higher on search results. Google algorithm Panda looks for fresh, lengthy, and informative content.

If your content is short then it is assumed that you have copied it from somewhere else. You should update the content to show Google that your website is alive.

Final Thought

You cannot choose between SEO and Webdesign. They both are important aspects to rank on search results and one cannot go without the other. Hence SEO is done in partnership with Web design.
