Increasing your portfolio’s visibility to search engines

 

There are several ways that may improve your portfolio’s visibility to search engines. Here are some tips.

1. Customize homepage and pages titles:

Search engines typically prioritize site titles, page titles, blog post titles, and headings. Think about it while creating new page, because these titles also appear in browser tabs and search results. Try to make them friendly to both search bots and human readers - uncomplicated and specific.

To change site title, log in to your User Panel and go to 'Settings'.

Choose 'Site settings', where you can type site title and keywords. It is also a great idea to supplement the description of the page by giving the information about what content will mainly appear on it. Be precise and use the most common words which could likely be used to search for content by people interested in pages similar to yours.
