How to leverage SEO on Carrd sites

You can easily set up Carrd sites for SEO best practice

Do you create landing pages for side projects in Carrd, then just hope they will rank in Google?

Marketing these is hard, so why not take a few extra steps to maximise your chances of organic discovery?

Even though landing pages don't tend to be big SEO performers (as they don't have lots of page content) it's still worth covering the basics of SEO, for better search visibility.

There are a number of ways you can do this in Carrd. Our mini guide explains how in simple steps — covering content tweaks and Carrd settings changes. Below is a quick summary.

A quick guide to ranking your Carrd site in Google

1. Write good content

It's best to start with a reasonable amount of quality text, in order to have something to optimise.

2. Optimise your text in Carrd

Structuring your Carrd content and settings to be more friendly to Google search is one of the most important steps.

3. Make it mobile friendly

Every Carrd site is responsive by default, but you may need to make further improvements in the Mobile settings.

4. Fill out your Carrd Publish settings

The Publish settings affect how your site will appear in Google's search results, or when you share a link on social.

5. Make your pages load fast

Google prefers fast sites, as do your site visitors. Carrd doesn't have the fastest of servers, so you will need to do all you can to improve speed.

6. Cover some basic accessibility

Google is increasingly favouring sites that pay attention to accessibility. So, covering basics is becoming an important SEO ranking factor.

7. Target backlinks

Outside of Carrd, you generally need backlinks to help you rank in Google (other good quality sites linking back to yours).
