SEO Best Practices

🔍 SEO Isn’t Just About Keywords — It’s About Structure, Strategy & Speed

As I continue building and optimizing web apps and mobile platforms, one thing has become very clear:

You can have the best product in the world — but if people can’t find it, it’s invisible.

That’s where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) comes in.

Over the past few months, I’ve been diving deeper into SEO best practices while working on my projects like Carmo and Mobelix, and I’ve realized that technical SEO is just as crucial as content SEO.

Here are a few key things I've learned (and applied):

âś… 1. Your

and are your first impression
Google uses these for your search snippet. Make them relevant, concise, and compelling.

✅ 2. Don’t ignore image optimization
Use descriptive alt text and compress images — it impacts both speed and accessibility.

âś… 3. Page speed matters (a lot)
A slow-loading site can tank your rankings. Use tools like PageSpeed Insights and fix the red flags.

✅ 4. Semantic HTML isn’t just good practice — it helps search engines understand your site better.

âś… 5. Mobile-first is no longer optional.
