Google is the most popular search engine on the web. With over 70% of the search market share, it is important to understand how Google can drive traffic to your business website.
Over the years, Google has developed a variety of tools to report website performance to website owners. The average business owner is not an expert website developer, so some tools have been confusing for the average person to understand. In 2020, Google introduced a simplified metrics platform called Core Web Vitals to help users understand the quality of experience their website is delivering to users.
Google has said metrics for Core Web Vitals will evolve over time. Currently, Core Web Vitals measures three aspects of user experience:
Google’s Core Web Vitals allow businesses to quantify the functionality and user-friendliness of their webpages to understand how design impacts SEO. The measurement of user experience metrics reported in Core Web Vitals shows that content and keywords are not the only important factors when it comes to effective SEO. Google wants website owners to be able to evaluate the overall experience their website provides and know how to adjust for a better user experience. This means well-designed websites will rank higher in search results.
A focus on user experience when it comes to SEO can be positive for customers and businesses. Previously, when SEO was more heavily weighted on keywords and other factors, legitimate businesses were fighting with websites filled with spam to climb the rankings. While these issues still exist, Core Web Vitals consider the user-friendliness of a website which many illegitimate websites lack. This allows consumers to more easily find websites they can trust.
Once you have a basic understanding of Core Web Vitals and have reviewed the metrics of your website, you might be wondering how you can improve them. Website optimization is highly technical and often involves making many adjustments rather than just fixing one issue.
Google provides insights into what may be causing slow load times or poor user experience. A web developer can interpret these insights and make changes to optimize your website. Some common adjustments to improve scores include optimizing images, specifying room for elements on your page, speeding up the server, loading content above the fold first, and improving the loading of third-party scripts.
Hiring an expert is a great way to eliminate the burden of attempting to optimize a website on your own, so you can focus on your business. Expert web developers understand the metrics Google provides and have solutions and tactics for how to improve metrics and, in turn, increase SEO. An improved user experience will drive more traffic to your website when combined with engaging and helpful content.
There are a variety of benefits to improving your website’s design and user experience. In addition to ranking higher in search results, there are other benefits to consider:
If you attempt to learn how to optimize your website design and specifications to improve Core Web Vitals, be prepared for significant time spent researching and a lot of trial and error.
