WordPress is the CMS of choice for most websites because it is user-friendly and naturally search engine optimized.
Although WordPress is merely a content management system (CMS), both of these statements are accurate. Therefore, employing WordPress alone won’t get you ranked well in search results.
We’ll go over ten WordPress SEO optimization best practices in this post, along with some ranking-boosting advice and instructions on how to apply them to your WordPress website.
10 WordPress SEO Best Practices
1. Check your search engine visibility settings
2. Set preferred domain
3. Set up permalinks
Your posts and pages are essentially URLs with a “post name” structure, and this choice is typically the most search engine optimization friendly because it aids in:
1. Clearly state at first glance what the page is about.
2. Keep URLs brief to avoid having them truncated in search results.
4. Require manual approval for blog comments
5. Install an SEO-friendly theme

6. Install an all-in-one WordPress SEO plugin
7. Make sure to generate a sitemap

8. Exclude low-value content from indexing
9. Install Ahrefs’ WordPress SEO plugin
10. Write a “clickworthy” SEO title
