4. DO YOU WANT TO BE NUMBER ONE
IMMEDIATELY?
Then buy ads.
SEO is all about improving
organic ranking over time.
Nobody outside Google
knows how their ranking
works in detail. Google
penalizes spammers.
16. TYPICAL IN WORDPRESS
All modern themes are responsive by design,
and most follow good semantic practices:
- unique <title> for each page
- one <h1> per page
- <article>, <section> etc..
17. IF YOU ROLL YOUR OWN THEME
Strive for (standards) valid and clean code!
Google’s robots value what G’s engineers
value..
Read up on the standard semantic tags in
HTML5, explore microformats and adhere to
schema.org vocabulary.
18. MAKING YOUR OWN CUSTOM POST
TYPES
In most cases you
don’t want to have
custom post types
visible as individual
pages or listed in
sitemap.xml.
21. USE SEO FRAMEWORK!
★ Smaller, leaner, faster
★ Creates nice clean
/sitemap.xml
★ Canonical URL
wordpress.org/plugins/autodescription/
★ No bloat, no
annoying ads
★ And it even looks
better!
22. YOAST ⇢ SEO FRAMEWORK MIGRATION
= Yoast ≅ SEO Framework
23. OPENGRAPH (FB) AND TWITTER CARDS
Don’t worry – SEO Framework generates these for you
26. ACCELERATED MOBILE
PAGES
We’ve been building websites
mobile first for years already,
but now Google et al wants us
to go back to the
m.example.com paradigm,
this time the url can be
example.com/amp/ though..
30. GOOD HOSTING AND ACTIVE UPKEEP
● low response times
● https
● http/2
Make sure your site and server are being
looked after by progressive Linux admins.

32. Bonus tips
These related plugins are now trending. I don’t have
much experience of them so I can’t recommend them yet,
but you might want to do it yourself:
