WordPress and Search Engine Optimization

There are a lot of factors that come into play when it comes to search engine optimization. Keywords, web content and regular updates are all equally important parts of SEO. However, even the cleanest and freshest web content can’t help you much if you aren’t using the right web platform.

WordPress is a user friendly content management system. Professional web designers have been using WordPress for years to develop custom WordPress websites. In fact there are currently over 61 million websites powered by WordPress. WordPress websites can be designed with simple features that allow business owners to easily update and maintain their own website and blog. But the best thing about WordPress is how it works with search engine optimization.

Here are the top four reasons why WordPress is ideal for SEO:

• WordPress starts with impeccably clean code
  WordPress templates begin with extremely clean code containing only what you need. WordPress sites allow you to add your own meta tags, categories, excepts, URL strings and titles. Experienced website developers are able to customize every single part of a WordPress site in order to utilize all of its SEO capabilities.
• There is a WordPress template available for every need
  From eCommerce to blogs, there is a WordPress template available that is designed to maximize the SEO fundamentals for whatever niche it caters to.
• WordPress offers some of the best plug-ins in the world
  Plug-ins are various services that can be added to your WordPress website to enhance its functionality. Many WordPress plug-ins are built around search engine optimization.
• WordPress websites load much faster
  Search engines have begun putting a premium on the speed at which a website loads. Luckily, WordPress is an extremely fast content management system which can be made even faster with the addition of certain plug-ins.
