We, Solo, do a number of things automatically to improve your SEO but there are some recommended steps that we encourage all customers to do.

1. Connect a custom domain. Sites with a custom domain can rank higher on Google. Also, by connecting a custom domain, Solo will generate a sitemap.xml file for you which can help with Google’s crawlers.
2. Connect Google Search Console (GSC). To connect GSC in Solo, we require that you have a custom domain connected. Once GSC is set up, you can see how much traffic Google is driving to your website and what keywords are driving most of that traffic.
3. Submit your site to Bing’s Webmaster Tools. Many AI chat services are using Bing’s search engine for their AI and so being included here increases the chance that your website will be included in an AI chat answer.
4. Set up a Google Business and Apple Business profile. These profile pages will allow your business to rank in Google and Apple Maps searches.
5. Review the title of your website. Go to Designer -> Settings -> Page Title. Here you can edit your webpage title. Keywords in this title can make a difference in how you rank on Google.
6. Add more details to your website. Adding more services, an FAQ, articles and more provides more content for Google to use to rank your website. If your business, adding contact hours can also make a difference. It’s also good practice to use your keywords in Headings on your page.
7. Link to your website from your other social sites. To rank higher on Google, you want to boost your domain authority. Linking to your website from your Facebook, Instagram, Yelp, blog or other pages may help.
8. Request reviews and comments from your customers by sharing a link to your business page from Yelp, Google, Apple or other. Google likes real reviews on your business pages so each review helps. If you’ve set-up the Newsletter section on Solo to collect emails, you can download your customer emails via Settings -> Export CSV, so you can then send a batch email.
