Important Ways DNN Can Help Improve Website SEO

Website performance plays a crucial role in the success of your business and day by day web visitors are also becoming more demanding and less patient. If you have a DNN website, then the pages need to load quickly and offer your visitors the correct information they are looking for or you risk losing them all. But the first thing to consider is the visibility of your site.

To rank higher in the Google SERP, you need to improve a few things on your site for Google to consider and approve a higher ranking.

Here in this article, we will focus on some on-page factors to optimize the website so that it ranks higher in major search engines and can drive more quality traffic to your site:

Page title and meta description: Search engines use several key fields in their ranking algorithms and the page tile and meta description help describe your page to the search engine. For your DNN website, the page description and tile are stored in the page settings. All you have to do is open the current page settings and then edit it directly.

CSS navigation: This means using simple HTML to display the page and using CSS to style the menu instead of lots of scripting or any other trickery. This helps make it very easy for search engine crawlers to index the site and then understand the structure of the site through the menu.

HTML and CSS menus are quick to parse and are also easy for search engine bots to understand. The Evoq content has the ability to interchange the components as per the requirements. The standard menu system generates the menu based on CSS and users can choose between different menu types to swap around the site.

The structure of the URL: URLs are vital for SEO purpose and paying attention to them can lead to ranking benefits for your DNN website. Choose the most suitable URL for your site and try to have a keyword in it as it makes it easier to rank. Fortunately, DNN can remove duplicate content and it happens automatically. The system knows the correct URL of the page, and if you try to reach the page with another URL, it will redirect users to the correct canonical URL.

H-tags: DNN websites do not enforce any specific H tag usage, so you are free to edit one in your content as you wish. You can define a custom skin for your DNN site that has H1 for a specific page. But it’s important to make sure you define an H1 tag for each piece of content written separately.

XML sitemap creation: An XML sitemap contains a list of all the available pages on the site that you want a search engine to index. A search engine sitemap of your DNN site will provide a quick means for the search engine to read and understand the structure of the site.

This includes page attributes that give the search engine information about the relative importance of the page and also how often it is updated. This refers to how often pages are revisited for new content.

Creating an XML sitemap for your DNN website is easy and comes with a dynamic sitemap that is created by reading the current site structure.
