User Experience design, more commonly known as UX design, is the process of designing interface that provide meaningful and relevant experiences to users, with a focus on usability, accessibility, and intuitive interaction with the product, and is more important to SEO<\/a> than you may think.<\/p>\n

UX design encompasses more than just web design and development. UX design also includes elements of visual design, user research, information architecture, and other disciplines that are focused on the overall experience a website or app delivers to users.<\/p>\n

Simply put, UX design is the whole process of clearly outlining the target audience for your app or website, and then asking how they interact with your site, inlcuding the when, where, and why.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why Does UX Matter to SEO?<\/h2>\n

It is a given that SEO plays a vital role in the digital marketing space, but not a lot of people know that UX can have a measurable impact on website traffic, search engine ranking, conversion rates, and even leads.<\/p>\n

In June 2021, user experience design became even more important due to Google\u2019s Core Web Vitals update<\/a> bringing page experience to the forefront of the Google algorithm. Google\u2019s Core Web Vitals are a set of three metrics that site owners should focus on to improve user experience. The better the experience you are providing for users, the more Google will favour your site and improve your rank.<\/p>\n

Creating a website is an exciting process, and it can be easy to get caught up in the aesthetics or visual design without much thought to user experience. This is a mistake; UX should be considered from the very beginning as it is a crucial part of how well your website will perform. While SEO seeks to improve your ranking with search engines, UX focuses on improving performance for your users. Essentially, there\u2019s no point increasing your website\u2019s organic rankings if your visitors are landing on a poorly-designed website that hasn\u2019t taken user experience into account.<\/p>\n

Webmaster Trends Analyst for Google, John Mueller, had this to say about UX:<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you make a good website that works well for users, then indirectly you can certainly see an effect in ranking.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Metrics for Evaluating UX<\/h2>\n

When UX is working as intended, it can increase user dwell time, decrease bounce rates, and indirectly increase your ranking on the SERPs.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of ways to evaluate just how user-friendly your website is, so let\u2019s go through a few of them:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

1. Bounce Rates<\/h3>\n

Bounce rate is the count of how many users visit your site and leave after seeing just one page. This typically happens when your main landing page isn\u2019t relevant to your target audience to begin with, but it\u2019s also possible that the home page\u2019s design or content hasn\u2019t been designed with UX in mind and doesn\u2019t immediately give users a path forward to the information they are looking for.<\/p>\n

High bounce rates are often cited as a metric that Google tracks to decide whether or not to promote a page in the SERPs. If Google notices that your audience is checking out straight away, it may draw the conclusion that your website is irrelevant to the search terms that are leading people there, and this means a potential decrease in rankings.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Session duration<\/h3>\n

Another metric that\u2019s used for evaluating UX is session duration, and this measures the time users spend on each page of your website. If session times are longer, Google can infer that users are finding your website\u2019s content relevant and valuable. On the other hand, if session duration is low, user engagement is also low, and this impacts organic rankings negatively.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Page views per visit<\/h3>\n

This is a measure of how many web pages a particular user or group of users clicks on or views on a single website. It\u2019s a broad indication of how well your site\u2019s navigation is arranged, and how valuable your content is to your site visitors. E-commerce sites in particular will want to maximise page views per visit, to ensure people are viewing (and buying) more products on the site.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

UX Matters for SEO<\/h4>\n

Implementing a well thought out UX strategy <\/a>can ultimately shape your website is perceived and consumed. Maximising the power of good UX design will lead to increased interest from users, a gain in links, and eventually help your website rank better too.<\/p>\n

For best results, you should create web pages that are well-designed, easy to navigate, and have a seamless conversion funnel, starting with these goals in mind during the initial stages of web development.<\/p>\n
