While ShinePages doesn’t use plugins (like a popular one on Wordpress called Yoast) for Search Engine Optimization (SEO) - the end results and search-ability are excellent with ShinePages sites.
ShinePages SEO Benefits:
1) SITE SPEED AND PAGE LOAD - The sites are built on the AWS platform which makes it very Google friendly. The pages are built for excellent speed and very quick page load.
2) MOBILE OPTIMIZATION - our pages are automatically mobile-optimized and view very well across mobile phone and tablet.
3) ON-PAGE SEO SETTINGS BUILT IN - to set pages, products, blog and portfolio:
- Page Title,
- Meta Description,
- Page sharing image,
- Page unique URL /slug
- Option to Publish or Remove a Page from Site Map
4) SET YOUR H1 TO H6 TAGS IN GLOBAL STYLING - These Heading Tags (HTAGS) will pull through on all of your pages AND our templates are designed with HTAGS already set within the heading widgets throughout the pages.
5) EASILY ADD ALT TAGS TO YOUR IMAGES - Within the image settings.
6) THE IMAGES ARE AUTOMATICALLY OPTIMIZED - We recommend you compress very large images before uploading them - once uploaded they are automatically converted to WEBP format.
7) EASILY CONNECT YOUR GOOGLE SEARCH CONSOLE AND ANALYTICS
BLOG SEO with SHINEPAGES
The "Blog" function within ShinePages allows you to write, publish, categorize and tag as many Blog posts as you'd like on a main "Blog" page - as well as add a standalone Blog Widget to ANY website page, displaying the posts of your choice.
Our templates come with a few draft post examples that you can duplicate and and start editing or you create a new post.
ShinePages BLOG SEO Benefits (over and above the general SEO Benefits mentioned above):
1) BUILT IN BLOG TITLE AND SUMMARY SEO - The Blog Title is set to H1 tag and the summary is optimized.

- Dynamic structure of your actual content to add variation to be easy for Google to understand your BLOG faster and of course for your visitor’s experience: Bullet points, Icons, Icon Sections, Dividers, Call To Action Buttons. These are all available by simply dragging one of our widgets onto the page
- Unique Blog Post Url / Slug
- Text Tags
- Blog Categories
- As well as Author, Date of post, Social Share Buttons, Enable Comments etc.
Another important SEO feature that Google loves is our:
4) BLOG WIDGET - this is a dynamic widget that you can add to share on any page of your website or funnel (select which category / Tag / Recent Posts etc. that you would like to share on the page).
SUMMARY
SEO is a large and complex topic - and your rankings are based not only on the factors mentioned above but of course your actual content and keywords used, how often your site is updated, the quantity and quality of your back links and more.
Having your site built on one platform vs another is not really what will affect your SEO - it’s truly a mix of all of these other factors.
All this being said, you can feel reassured that when building your site on ShinePages, you can produce SEO results as good as (or maybe even better than) that which you would get from building on Wordpress.
