Best Website Builder for SEO

Let's face it - Not all website builders are optimized for SEO.

Many modern advancements, like AI website builders, prioritize creating websites fast and looking good while often ignoring the primary purpose of a website—to attract more business.

SEO is one of the best ways to get relevant traffic to your website that you can convert to sales and is one of the most valuable assets to a company. A website without proper SEO and marketing is like a shop with great products that no one knows about

Features to Look for in an SEO-Friendly Website Builder

Not all website builders are optimized or have important features needed for a website to rank. Here are the must-have features:

1. Customizable URL Structures & Meta Tags

It should have the ability to edit meta titles, descriptions, and URLs for every page and blog. Short, clean URLs are better and improve click-through rates (CTR) and ranking.

It's also important if you are targeting some specific keywords and trying to rank for them.

2. Mobile-Friendliness & Responsive Design

It's also very important for the website to be responsive and to look good and well on mobiles. Because most people today visit websites on mobile phones, it should be well-optimized and navigation should be easy.

3. Fast Page Load Speed

Site speed is another ranking factor, so your website builder should optimize image compression, caching, and code structure.

Since this is an important metric, Konigle has an inbuilt Page Speed Insights section under Traffic, so users can directly get real-time updates of speed on both desktop and mobile there.

4. SEO-Friendly Site Architecture

A logical structure with internal linking helps search engines understand your content and rank it accordingly.

Features like breadcrumbs, XML sitemaps, indexing, schema and easy navigation helps the crawlers understand the content and pages better.

5. Schema Markup & Structured Data Support

Schema markup is what helps the search engines display rich snippets (e.g., reviews, product prices, FAQs). This is a bit advanced but is important for ranking for more competitive keywords where these rich capabilities should be boasted.

Konigle provides an easy way to edit your schema within the editor and make live changes.

6. Advanced Blogging Capabilities

The blog is one of the easiest ways to get traffic to your website, so this should be a high-priority item. Ensure your builder supports SEO-friendly blogging with categories, tags, editable SEO details, schema, FAQs etc.

There should also be other marketing tools that help you get these people to your lead funnels with lead magnets and pop-ups, all of which are built with Konigle

7. Security & HTTPS Encryption

This is kind of a basic requirement but still has relevance. Google prioritizes secure websites (HTTPS over HTTP).

Also make sure it has a valid and trustable SSL certificate and good hosting, which again if you are with Konigle, is taken care of.

The technical side of things

Everyone toots their own horn, SEOs say SEO is important , PPC folks say Paid Advertising is more important. With LLMs like ChatGPT / Claude / Perplexity it seems like Search Engines and ways to market are changing.  

Hence I decided to sign up for the Ahrefs Evolve Conference in Oct '24 and travel to Singapore. I never realized before signing up that apart from getting some definitive answers to how SEO is evolving, I would discover Konigle - and end up working here ( that's a story for a different day)

But I then realized what an SEO-friendly website builder looks like and the kind of relentless focus that is needed beyond the marketing gimmicks of the well-known trinity of website builders that might start with W.

Here are some issues they presented, how it can be solved and some expert tips on how to improve your SEO from experts like Cyrus Shepard from Zyppy SEO, Patrick Stox and more.

1. Hreflang Issues

For example, Patrick Stox who is the Product Advisor, Technical SEO, & Brand Ambassador @ Ahrefs said, that Hreflang Issues is a very common issue for websites and is something that needs to be fixed.

He even mentions it as the most expensive SEO issue, so definitely you don't want that for your website. But how can you fix all these if you are not an SEO expert or a technical person?

Simple Answer - Use a website builder like Konigle that does this for you, so you just have to focus on writing great content.

2. E-E-A-T

E-E-A-T stands for Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, which are key factors used by Google to evaluate the quality and credibility of content.

Apart from getting the right person to write about the topic of his expertise, there are several technical things you need to do as well.

And having an E-E-A-T optimized author page is one of them, providing information about the author and why he is the best person to write about it.

Also having an option to add contributors, reviewers etc for your article is quite useful for establishing authority.

Even the bigger website builders do not provide this option in built and need other paid 3rd party tools to do this. But Konigle got you convered.

3. Bots

As shared by Karpathy, in '25 we should be putting greater emphasis on optimizing our website for LLMs like ChatGPT, Claude et al, rather than focusing all our energy on pixel perfect designs for humans.

Bot traffic now accounts for nearly half of all internet traffic and will increase even further now. With more and more evidence arising that on-page SEO or technical SEO , faster indexing, and information gain are becoming more and more important to have visibility in LLMs.

Not Just SEO

While SEO is crucial for driving organic traffic, traffic alone won’t grow your business—you need the right marketing tools to convert these visitors into paying customers.

Even if your website ranks #1 on Google, visitors might leave without taking action. To turn traffic into sales, you need:

• Email Marketing – Capture leads and send automated email campaigns to nurture potential customers.

• SMS Marketing – Reach your audience instantly with personalized SMS promotions.

• Pop-ups & Lead Magnets – Encourage visitors to sign up for exclusive offers or free resources.

The good part is that Konigle has all these features and more, and is starting at just $29 a month!
