SEO for a New Website Launch

SEO for a new website launch

The way a website is built, structured and what content it includes has a huge impact on its SEO. That’s why when you’re building a new website, it’s important to implement a detailed SEO strategy for the website from the start.

Considering your site’s SEO ahead of its build helps future-proof it’s organic performance post-launch. It gives you the foundations to help your site thrive in the SERPS (Search Engine Results Pages) once your site has been launched.

At Red Mention, our SEO experts can help make sure your new website gets off to a flying start.

What a new website SEO project looks like

An SEO project for a new website looks at the following:

• Your site’s UX design
• Your site’s hierarchy & structure
• Your competition and general market research
• Search & keyword research
• Your site’s landing page copy
• The technical aspects of your site, such as site speed and crawl budget

This process is important as web developers don’t tend to consider these things by default. It’s also more difficult to get the same SEO results by doing this work in hindsight.

That’s why working with an SEO professional on your new website’s SEO strategy ahead of the build is so crucial. It prevents the need to revisit complicated areas of SEO, and instead allows you to focus on growing your brand online.

If you have an existing website, you should also plan how to transfer any search equity it has build up on the new site.
