On-page SEO
The titles, headings and text Google reads to work out what your page is about.
Why it matters
Before anyone visits, Google reads your page to decide what it is about and who should see it. Clear titles, honest descriptions, one main heading and enough useful words are what get you listed for the searches your customers make.
What good looks like
- Every page has its own title and description, written for people
- One clear main heading, with sub-headings that follow it
- Images described with alt text, so Google and screen readers understand them
- A sitemap and robots.txt that let Google find every page you want found
