If you have a great SEO strategy that is effectively driving traffic to your website, yet they are not converting into customers, you will need to learn how to balance your SEO and UX efforts.

Understanding SEO

Search engine optimisation (SEO) is an effective digital marketing strategy that involves optimising aspects of your website to improve your ranking in SERPs.

SEO boosts your online visibility, helping you reach your target audience, driving them to your website. 

Understanding UX

User Experience (UX) is a design process involving the functionality and aesthetics of your website and how it relates to your users. This often includes your web design, focusing on providing seamless navigation, an excellent online experience, with fast loading website pages.

Partner with a Digital Marketing Agency Offering SEO and UX Services

You are probably reading this because you want to balance your SEO and UX for maximum website performance yourself. While this may have cost-cutting benefits, it could result in problems by creating conflicting strategies. When you partner with one digital marketing agency for both functions, you are assured that they are able to work within their own departments, creating a strategy that doesn't conflict with each other, providing you with a website that is SEO and UX friendly.

Create a Responsive Website Design

Up until a few years ago, users accessed the internet on their desktop computers. Today, mobile devices are taking centre stage. In fact, mobile devices are accounting for close to half of all online searches, showing how imperative it is for your website to seamlessly adapt to all devices. When your website is responsive, it adapts to different screen sizes and orientations, providing all users with a great experience. 

Navigation

Navigation should be intuitive and easy. This means using bullets, headings, images, and drop down menus, helping users find the information they are looking for. In order to improve navigation you will want to create meaningful heading tags, bullet points for lists, and break up your content into smaller sections for improved readability. 

Conclusion

SEO and UX can be balanced to improve website performance, helping to improve brand visibility, drive targeted traffic to your website, and ensure they have a great experience, increasing your chance of a conversion. When you optimise your website for SEO and UX, you provide a great user experience, reducing your bounce rates, and increasing dwell time, which indicate to search engines that you are a valuable source of information based on the users search.
