Technical SEO is the foundation that everything else builds on. Without it, great content and beautiful design won't reach the people searching for what you offer. Here's a complete checklist for Webflow sites.
Every page needs a unique title tag (under 60 characters) and meta description (under 160 characters). Set Open Graph tags for social sharing. Webflow makes this easy in the page settings panel.
Use one H1 per page that clearly describes the page content. Follow with H2s for major sections and H3s for subsections. Never skip levels. This structure helps both search engines and screen readers understand your content.
Add JSON-LD structured data for your organization, services, FAQ sections, and articles. Schema helps search engines understand your content and can trigger rich results in search. For a full walkthrough, see our guide to schema markup for SEO.
Webflow auto-generates a sitemap at /sitemap.xml. Make sure it's submitted to Google Search Console. Review your robots.txt to ensure no important pages are accidentally blocked. If you serve more than one language, see our guide to building a multilingual site with Webflow Localization, which handles hreflang and sitemaps automatically.
Build a strong internal linking structure. Every page should be reachable within 3 clicks from the homepage. Link related service pages, blog posts, and case studies to each other naturally.
Strong internal links also help AI answer engines understand your site. The same clean structure that earns Google rankings can help you get cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity.
