Lesson 32 / 32

SEO for Developers — Summary

Review all key concepts and create your SEO action plan.

Your SEO checklist as a developer

  1. Technical Foundation: Semantic HTML, fast page load, mobile-friendly, HTTPS, XML sitemap, robots.txt. 2. Structured Data: JSON-LD for articles, products, breadcrumbs. 3. Performance: Core Web Vitals, image optimization, code splitting. 4. Architecture: SSR/prerendering for JS-heavy sites, clean URLs, internal linking. 5. Monitoring: Google Search Console, Analytics, PageSpeed Insights.

Start small, iterate

Don't try to fix everything at once. Pick one page, optimize it fully, measure the impact, then move to the next. Small improvements compound into big results over months.

Work with your team

SEO is a team sport. Developers own technical SEO; content teams own on-page SEO; marketers own off-page SEO. Communicate, share data, and align on goals.
