I am Uvais, a freelance digital marketer from Thrissur, Kerala. I’ve been working with small businesses and startups to help them grow online through SEO, ads, and content strategies.
But here's something I strongly believe:
Every developer should learn the basics of SEO.
Think About It
You spend hours building a website or app.
It’s fast, bug-free, responsive—perfect.
But…
-Nobody’s visiting it.
-It's not ranking on Google.
-No leads. No traffic. No growth.
That’s where SEO (Search Engine Optimization) makes all the difference.
Why SEO Matters for Developers
SEO isn’t just keyword stuffing and backlinks anymore. It’s about:
-Clean site architecture
-Proper HTML tags (
,, etc.)
-Performance (speed, core web vitals)
-Mobile-first design
-Structured data / Schema markup
-Indexability and crawlability
These are things developers can fix better than marketers.
Examples Developers Can Improve with SEO
✅ Writing semantic HTML
✅ Adding alt text for images
✅ Fixing broken links
✅ Improving site load time
✅ Using proper heading structure
✅ Implementing canonical URLs
✅ Adding schema.org markup
Developer + Marketer = Winning Combo
When developers and digital marketers work together, the results are powerful:
- Higher Google rankings
- Better user experience
- More conversions
- Less wasted ad spend
Final Thoughts
You don’t need to become an SEO expert. But understanding the basics can:
- Make your web projects more successful
- Help your clients grow faster
- Give you a competitive edge as a dev
