1. Optimize Title and Meta Description
The title and meta description are the first elements users see on Google. They significantly influence whether someone clicks on your page. In Framer, you can apply individual SEO settings for each page.
Choose a concise title featuring your main keyword and craft a brief, inviting meta description with a maximum of 160 characters. Ensure it aligns with the content and piques curiosity.
2. Use a Clean Heading Structure (H1–H3)
A clear hierarchy of your headings aids both your readers and Google in better understanding the content.
Each page should contain exactly one H1—usually the main title of your article. Subtopics are set as H2, with finer divisions as H3.
Example:
H1: SEO Tips for Framer Websites
H2: Optimize Meta Data
H3: Why Title Tags Are Important
3. Add Alt Texts for Images
Search engines can't see images, but they can understand what they are supposed to represent through alt text.
Alt texts enhance the discoverability of your page in image search and ensure accessibility. Ensure the text describes the image content and — where appropriate — includes a relevant keyword.
4. Correctly Implement HTML Tags
Even though Framer works visually, it uses HTML in the background. A clean HTML structure improves your SEO performance.
Use the appropriate tags for headings (<h1>, <h2>, <h3>), paragraphs <p>, and lists <ul> or <ol>. Avoid styling text using <div> or <span> if it has a different intended meaning.
5. Use Aria Labels for Accessibility
Aria labels make your site more understandable for screen readers and improve the user experience for individuals with impairments.
They are especially useful for buttons, icons, or links that lack explanatory text. A correct aria label could look like this:<a href="/kontakt" aria-label="Go to contact form">
6. Optimize Texts with Keywords
Write for people, but don’t lose sight of Google. Consider in advance which keywords fit your topic and use them strategically in the text—particularly in headings, the first paragraph, and image descriptions.
Ensure natural integration. Google detects whether texts are over-optimized. A keyword density of around 1–2 percent is a good guideline.
7. Implement Internal and External Links
Links help Google understand the structure of your site. They also offer value to your visitors and guide them through your content.
Link to other relevant pages within your website (e.g., services, additional blog articles), and occasionally add links to trustworthy external sources. Ensure to use meaningful anchor texts, avoiding “click here” links and opting for phrases like “learn more about Framer CMS.”
