What’s the Relationship Between UX and SEO?

User experience elements related to speed and ease of use can significantly affect SEO performance. 

Here are some broad areas of user experience that matter the most:

  • Performance: Your pages must load quickly and be responsive. Google generally wants to prioritize those pages.

  • Mobile experience: With Google’s move to mobile-first indexing, having a site that works well on mobile devices is extremely important. Good mobile UX could help improve your rankings on Google.

  • Design and layout: Arranging information logically, using good formatting, and featuring easy-to-read content makes users’ time on your site more enjoyable, which could translate to better SEO performance.

  • Usability: Ensuring you have intuitive navigation, clear buttons, and an accessible site that all users can easily interact with goes a long way toward improving your UX.
