User Experience
User Experience (UX) refers to how visitors interact with your website, including ease of navigation, page speed, readability, mobile usability, and engagement. Search engines use UX signals to assess content quality and relevance.
Good UX increases dwell time, reduces bounce rates, and encourages repeat visits, all of which positively influence rankings. Poor UX can negatively affect traffic and SEO despite good content.
An e-commerce site optimized navigation, reduced load time from 5s to 2s, and simplified checkout. Organic conversions increased 22%, and Google rankings for key product pages improved.
How to Improve UX for SEO
- Ensure fast page load times
- Use responsive design for mobile devices
- Create clear navigation and logical site structure
- Use readable fonts, headings, and visual hierarchy
- Track engagement metrics like dwell time and bounce rate
