If you don&rsquo;t tick those boxes, search engines like Google won&rsquo;t know how to find your pages, meaning visitors won&rsquo;t be directed to your website.\n<p>To get your website ranking on search engines, a website builder should simplify SEO for you and include built-in features that give you a head start. <strong>Each platform in our list of recommendations does the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Enables you to tweak aspects of your site&rsquo;s SEO<\/strong> &ndash; With each website builder, you can edit important SEO elements like meta titles, meta descriptions, and URLs<\/li>\n<li><strong>Website analytics<\/strong> &ndash; Once your SEO strategy is underway, you&rsquo;ll need to track your page&rsquo;s analytics to see how well it&rsquo;s doing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile-friendly designs<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; Website builders will automatically optimize your website for mobile devices. However, not all platforms allow you to edit your mobile design directly, so take that into consideration too<\/li>\n<li><strong>Optimized website speeds<\/strong> &ndash; Website speeds can negatively impact SEO, so most builders cut down load times by optimizing images for you and running your website on an efficient server<\/li>\n<li><strong>SEO integrations <\/strong>&ndash; For additional ways to track your SEO, good builders also let you connect your website with tools like Google Analytics and Google Search Console. Some even allow you to connect with popular SEO tools like Semrush<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&rsquo;s also important to choose an SEO website builder that supports your learning as well. We know that not every website owner will have a base knowledge or understanding of search engine optimization, but builders like Wix provide useful resources to help you feel more confident.[\/vc_column_text]\n<\/p><div class=\"taco-highlighted-block primary\">\n \n <h4 class=\"title-block\">\n \n Learn More About SEO &#128161; <\/h4>\n \n \n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/grow-online\/what-is-seo\/\">What is SEO?<\/a> <\/strong>&ndash; Your one-stop guide to SEO strategy<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/grow-online\/how-does-seo-work\/\">How does SEO work?<\/a> <\/strong>&ndash; Understand the fundamentals of SEO<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/grow-online\/seo-basics\/\">SEO basics<\/a> <\/strong>&ndash; What you need to do to rank well<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/grow-online\/seo-glossary\/\">SEO glossary<\/a><\/strong> &ndash; A guide to help you decode the SEO jargon<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/grow-online\/seo-mistakes-to-avoid\/\">SEO mistakes<\/a> <\/strong>&ndash; Top tips on what to avoid when it comes to SEO<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/grow-online\/ai-seo\/\"><strong>AI in SEO<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; I&rsquo;ve mentioned AI tools a few times, but how can AI help optimize your site?<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/seo\/google-search-algorithm\/\"><strong>What is Google&rsquo;s algorithm?<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; Learn what makes the search engine tick<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/news\/google-algorithm-update-history\/\"><strong>Google algorithm update history<\/strong><\/a> &ndash; Keep an eye on the latest changes in the search landscape<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p><\/div>\n\n <footer>\n <\/footer>\n<\/section>\n\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n<section class=\"taco-content-section \" id=\"section-0\">\n <header class=\"taco-section-header no-number\">\n\n <div class=\"taco-section-heading\">\n <h2 class=\"taco-section-title primary\">\n \n How Do We Test SEO Website Builders? <\/h2>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/header>\n\n \n\n [vc_column_text css=&rdquo;&rdquo;]We carry out <a href=\"https:\/\/www.websitebuilderexpert.com\/website-builders\/how-we-conduct-our-website-builder-research\/\">in-depth research<\/a> into the top website builders on the market so we can bring you the freshest rankings and insights.
