Using the webflow CMS content editor, SEO still feels like an afterthought as we approach 2024. We get zero feedback during composition, and close to no control AFAICS. Surprising and disappointing.

Currently, you can't even exclude URLs from the autogenerated xml sitemap. No one wants to manually update their sitemap every time something is published. Content that is set to noindex or blocked by robots.txt should never make its way into a sitemap...it's bad for SEO. But yeah, Webflow is great at SEO :/

Please don't open pandoras box by allowing the creation of plugins like Yoast.
Webflow is for designers and developers.
If anyone feels the need to use plugins, go for WordPress.

Thanks for this thread. Yeah, Yoast a great plugin for SEO no dout. I already installed this plugin for my WordPress website. But before building up a new website you need to choose a good domain name. You get take help from this one https://sitechecker.pro/web-hosting/domain.com/ I hope that help!

What is the likelihood of getting Yoast or (something simlar) on the system in the future?

Nice post. Thank you to provide us this useful information. Qbook

To say this already exists is really off the mark! Try running a webflow blog post through the facebook debugger. Fail https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/. Webflow needs get in tune the SEO driven designer. Efficiency here can enable us to spend more time on the design side

Can I downvote this? Webflow is PERFECT for SEO. Please, whatever you do, don't make this platform like Wordpress. 

It sais "already exists". But Yoast is very special and should be something that really needs to integrated in Webflow.

My solutions for improving SEO with Webflow: 

- Using Semrush for going really in depth and improve keywords/content/content strategy/... link: http://bit.ly/2J3vZMo

- For blog posts I use a tool called Storychief that streams your article at many places with one click. Inside of Storychief you are able to write and analyse your content with a tool like Yoast (0%-100%) link: http://bit.ly/2E8k1yw

Webflow has built in all you need to insert the basics. To go deeper I suggest to use tools that 100% focus on SEO.

Love,

Hello Webflow team,

I second Barrett and Benny. SEO is extremely important and it's highly desirable to have access to advanced SEO controls. Otherwise, Wordpress+Yoast seems to be the way to go when SEO fine-tuning is looked for.

Hi Nelson form Webflow,

do you have any news regarding the request from Barrett?

For my future project this is also essential.

Thanks a lot

Benny

Hi Webflow Team,

Yes, I know Webflow has basic SEO capabilities – my suggestion asks for more depth to the tools currently available. The feature set I describe goes beyond the basic tools currently available.

* If you’ve ever used “Yoast SEO” which is a WordPress plug-in, you’ll know what additional page readability and keyword analysis is available.
* Webflow doesn’t allow for different images to be used for different social media sharing images – ie: having the images (dimensions) different across the platforms Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc. Also, the Open Graph ability isn’t integrated into the CMS tool – allowing a user the ability to set Open Graph information per CMS item (similar to a page), but instead only allows Open Graph information on the CMS Collection Page Templates.
* Grammarly is a separate tool, but it would be nice to have a Grammarly plug-in for Webflow.

You can already add SEO data (meta tags and open graph) without a plugin in Webflow:

Hope this helps :)
