How To Add SEO To Your StarterSite


Since you have nowĀ activated your StarterSite websiteĀ and have alsoĀ published your single-page website on your domain, you can now add SEO information to your website.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a method of helping your website be found in search engine results. When web users search for websites, they enter identifying information and keywords to look for helpful websites. Search engines like Google or Bing then use that information to match it to websites that qualify as reputable sources of information. Adding SEO elements to your StarterSite website helps search engines find you. Therefore, your websiteĀ appears higher in search results and receives increased traffic.

While there are many elements to SEO, the basics include using meta-tags to help communicate with search engines. Meta tags live in your HTML code where search engines can easily crawl through them. In this article, you will add SEO information to your StarterSite website.
