How to Optimise Your Duda Website for SEO
SEO for Duda Websites
If you’re running a website on the Duda platform, you already know it offers a powerful mix of design flexibility, mobile responsiveness, and robust integrations. But to truly get noticed online, especially in competitive UK markets, your site needs expert SEO.
As a Duda Certified Platform Specialist, I work with businesses that have built beautiful sites but aren’t seeing the search traffic they deserve. The good news? Duda is incredibly SEO-friendly—if you know how to use it.
Why SEO Matters for Duda Users
Search engine optimisation (SEO) is the foundation of online visibility. Whether you're a local service provider, a growing eCommerce brand, or a consultant, showing up on Google for your key terms is essential to drive organic traffic and gain new clients.
Duda gives you control over most SEO-critical elements, but there are nuances. That’s where a web developer with SEO expertise comes in.
Key SEO Features in Duda
- Built-in On-Page SEO Settings: Title tags, meta descriptions, canonical tags, and alt text are easily editable.
- Automatic Mobile Responsiveness: Google loves mobile-first websites, and Duda excels here.
- Schema Markup Support: Add structured data for local businesses, reviews, and events.
- Fast Page Speeds: Duda’s CDN and image optimisation contribute to excellent load times.
- SSL as Standard: A secure site is essential for both users and search rankings.
SEO Best Practices in Duda
1. Customise Metadata for Each Page
Write unique titles (≤60 characters) and descriptions (≤160 characters) that include UK-specific keywords (“London café menu”, “Bristol takeaway”).
2. Use SEO-Friendly URLs
Keep page URLs short and keyword-rich (e.g., /italian-restaurant-manchester), avoiding random characters
3. Leverage Mobile & Speed Tools
Enable lazy loading and compress images (WebP format) to improve speed—Google’s mobile-first algorithm rewards this
4. Add Structured Data
Use schema markup for address, opening hours, menus, and reviews. Duda’s built-in schema support makes this easy
5. Audit & Fix SEO Issues
Use Duda’s SEO dashboard to scan for missing alt tags, broken links, or metadata—then fix issues directly from the editor
6. Publish SEO-Friendly Blog Content
Regular posts (e.g., “Spring menu specials”, “Local food sourcing”) with optimized headings, alt text, and internal links help attract and retain UK visitors
