        GoDaddy is an online hosting and web design service that allows its users to build websites for free. It is a platform that is very popular for small business owners and people just getting started with website design.<\/p><\/blockquote>

        Whilst there are many content management systems out there to choose from, GoDaddy is certainly a platform that is very popular.<\/p>

        How do I improve my SEO on GoDaddy?<\/h2>

        There are many actions that you can take in order to improve your SEO with GoDaddy. Your overriding SEO strategy should not be limited or too different based on your hosting or website building service.<\/p>

        There is also a built-in SEO wizard that can help provide some basic level recommendations. In terms of improving your SEO as a whole through GoDaddy, you can take the following action:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Keyword research<\/h3>

        Your keyword research is crucial to getting your content and site navigation right.<\/p>

        For anyone building a website, whether it is using GoDaddy or any other website builder, in-depth keyword research will help you strategise and create content that is suited to your customers’ needs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Understanding the different types of keywords that people use to search at different stages of the buying journey will ensure that you can sufficiently educate and facilitate a real quality online service.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        On-Page SEO<\/h3>

        On-page SEO is another crucial part of a GoDaddy search engine optimisation as it is for all websites.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        Well structured and well-written content is essential to help both Google and your customers understand what it is your website is offering.<\/p>

        Ensure you use a single H1 tag for your page title and then use H2 headings for the rest of your important titles to make your content readable and target the related keywords around your niche.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t

        Internal linking<\/h3>

        If you have a GoDaddy website, then ensuring that you have a good internal link strategy will help both Google and customers navigate from page to page. You want to an internal link where you can and having a well thought out silo structure of the content that groups category content will give you lots of opportunities to link between relevant pages.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        How long does GoDaddy SEO take to work?<\/h2>

        It really depends on a number of factors as to how long it takes GoDaddy SEO work to begin to impact search results and positive rankings.<\/p>

        If you are starting from scratch with a brand new domain, then it is important that you think about how to structure your site and target the right kinds of keywords. You also need to indicate to Google that you are a real business and you can achieve this through getting set up with Google Search Console and Google My Business. You should also build local citations and social media accounts to begin to create a presence for your website.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t

        \n\t\t\t\t

        For more well-established sites that are using GoDaddy, then you may see results far quicker. But again, it really depends on the scale of your business and what you are looking to get out from your website platform that will determine how scalable it is and whether you can achieve what you need in long term.<\/p>

        For instance, using GoDaddy’s website builder may not be the best solution if you are building an eCommerce business and need to be able to manage your products and stock efficiently. But generally, it will not matter what website building platform you use if you are worried about how long it will take to rank, as long as your SEO strategy is well thought out and executed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

        How do I get my GoDaddy website on Google?<\/h2>

        In order to make your GoDaddy website visible on Google and in order to show up on relevant search results, you will need to connect your website to Google Search Console. This will allow you to submit your domain name and submit your sitemaps which in turn will allow Google to crawl the pages on your website.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

            Conclusion<\/h2>

            To conclude, can GoDaddy really help your website SEO? It really comes down to what it is you are looking to get out of your website. If you are a small local business that needs to get a website set up fast, then the GoDaddy website builder may be a good option for you.<\/p>

            It comes down to how well you think you can scale your operation and how many pages you will need. Your website builder should not decide how well you can optimise your site as long as you are aware of the various constraints of different website building services. GoDaddy can be great as an all in one solution for small businesses with little web design or coding experience.<\/p>

            Make your content user friendly, do your relevant keyword research and make sure that you are doing what you need to in order to present yourself as a real business and you will not go far wrong with your SEO strategy, whether you are using GoDaddy or any other CMS.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
