What Is On-Page SEO?

What it applies to

Every page on the website with a search ranking goal — service pages, landing pages, blog posts, case studies, and the homepage.

On-page SEO checklist for every page

• Title tag: 50–60 characters. Include the primary keyword near the beginning. Format: "Primary Keyword | Brand Name" or "Keyword — Descriptive Modifier".
• Meta description: 150–160 characters. Compelling, includes the keyword, and provides a reason to click. Treat it as an ad for the page.
• H1: One per page. Includes the primary keyword. Clearly states what the page is about.
• URL slug: Short, lowercase, hyphens, keyword-containing. No stop words.
• Content: Covers the topic comprehensively. Answers the search intent fully. Includes semantic variants of the keyword throughout.
• Images: All images have descriptive, keyword-relevant alt text. File names are descriptive (webflow-development-services.jpg, not IMG_2847.jpg).
• Internal links: 3–5 contextual links to related pages, using descriptive anchor text.
• Schema markup: Add appropriate schema type (Article, FAQPage, HowTo) for the page format.

In Webflow

Access page SEO settings via the Pages panel → hover page → Settings gear → SEO tab. Set Title Tag, Meta Description, and canonical URL per page. For CMS pages, bind these fields to CMS fields to auto-populate unique SEO metadata for every collection item.
