Have you noticed how many people use WordPress blogs? They can be tailored to look like a regular website and it doesn’t always look like a blog! And the best part about it is that they’re free! But you ask the big question, “Is WordPress good for SEO?”
The answer is, “Yes, it is!”
Here are five reasons why WordPress is good for SEO. From a search engine optimization perspective, you can get the same results instead of building a website that can cost as much as $5,000 – $10,000!
- WordPress is free – You still need to get a domain but you don’t need to pay a web developer thousands of dollars to create a site for you. This week I heard about a site that was made that cost $100K and it was not optimized well for search engines!
- Meta Tags and XML Sitemap – WordPress has plugins and widgets that will simplify the SEO process of creating meta tags and XML sitemaps for search engines.
- Pings Google - When you create new content, Google likes this. I remember once literally seconds after I published a new post that it was already indexed in Google. (That is pretty amazing!)
- Permalinks can be keyword enabled – Each post that you write can be constructed with your keyword phrases for SEO tactics.
- Social Media, Backlinking, Pingback, Trackbacks – Links and badges can be added to further build backlinks and added traffic. Pingbacks and Trackbacks help with creating links between sites.
Two of our current clients took our advice and begin using WordPress. Feel free to contact them and ask them what they think.

Bill Ferrell and Grant Linhart will express how easy it is to maintain, and the fun they have had writing content. Ask them about their return on investment.
If you are able to work in Microsoft Word, you’ll be able to handle the backend of WordPress. Anyone can learn how to add content to their blog. It’s easy and with a little direction, you will be on your own, writing and maintaining your blog with the template you prefer. (And there are literally thousands to choose from!)
I hope this helps you make a great decision for search engine optimization and a great decision for your pocket book!

Hey, great info. Just ran across your site. I’m interested in building a site, and sounds like WordPress is what I’m looking for, as I wanted blog flexibility, but website appearance!
Where do I go from here? Where do I learn how to use WordPress to develop my site?
Thanks for any direction.
And good luck for a great year.

Any good but inexpensive seo software out there ?
Hi Holly,
WordPress uses SEO plugins which are all free!
What is the best software the can be used to analyze the onpage SEO of a website?~~.
I am not sure what the best software is, but we have used both IBP and webposition since we have started in 2000. Now that we understand what Google is looking for we don’t use a program. I hope that helps.
I’d add that Google loves up to date WordPress sites – in Webmaster Tools it even reminds you to update an old WordPress install – now if that isn’t a massive indicator I don’t know what is!!!
