Improve my website's SEO

Our search engine optimization (SEO) tool helps you add information about your website to rank higher on search engines and get found by your ideal customer. Complete SEO to increase traffic by up to 5 times.

Our Digital Marketing plans and most Websites + Marketing plans include search engine optimization (SEO). (Compare plans and pricing.)

Note: Even though you can optimize your site in just a few minutes, it could take weeks for the changes to affect your site’s search engine ranking. Search engines index changes to your site regularly, but not immediately.
  1. Go to your GoDaddy product page.
  2. Scroll down, expand Websites + Marketing and select Manage next to your site.
  3. On your dashboard, expand Marketing, and then select SEO.
  4. Depending on your SEO setup history, you'll have different options:
    • If you previously set up SEO, you'll have the choice to edit your optimization settings.
    • If this is your first time setting up SEO, we'll use artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically analyze your site and suggest the most impactful keywords to help you rank well on search engines. To accept them, select Publish Changes. We'll add keywords to your content and image "alt" tags.
    • If you prefer to review the suggestions and approve them later, select Not Yet.
  5. To make the changes live, select Publish Now.
  6. Note: We optimize up to 5 pages of your website. To optimize more pages, go to your website builder, select SETTINGS, and then SEO Settings.

Once you've gone through the SEO wizard you can see how your site is ranking on Google. To track your metrics, sign in to your Google account.

  1. Go to your GoDaddy product page.
  2. Scroll down, expand Digital Marketing and select Manage next to your plan.
  3. On your dashboard, expand Marketing, and then select SEO.
  4. Select Start and follow the guidance to set up SEO.
    • If this is your first time setting up SEO, the wizard will ask you questions to help optimize your homepage.
    • If you've run the wizard before, at the bottom of Show up on Google, select View all tasks. You'll have the choice to optimize the homepage again, or optimize another page, blog posts or images.
  5. At the end of the wizard, you'll be prompted to publish your website immediately or wait until later. Your changes won't go live until you publish. Remember, it takes up to 8 weeks for SEO settings to affect your site's ranking in relevant search results.
