Creating a website with Elementor feels exciting, right?
You get powerful website designing tools and unlimited creative freedom to do so. That without touching any codes. I mean what more could you want?
But a major thing concerns everyone after you’re done designing your dream website? Can you guess what it is?
Well, yes, you’re absolutely right! It’s “SEO”. But, what are the best SEO practices for Elementor?
If your site looks amazing but Google ain’t sending any traffic; the only question you ask is WHY?
What have I done wrong? Well, it’s obviously the SEO. It is more than some pretty looking page designs. It’s about structure, speed, trust, and clarity.
And in 2025, Google mostly cares about user focused solutions. If your site and site content are focused towards users to solve their problems, you’re in luck.
We understand the problems of the users who want to make it big, but lack certain SEO knowledge.
Today, I’m going to share the most effective and the best SEO practices for Elementor users. So, stay till the end, and let’s begin.
Well, I designed this article focusing on Elementor users. But, most of these can be used for anyone with a website. No matter if you created it with Elementor or other page builders. Even if you’ve created a website with coding, you can still follow this guide to go the extra mile.
Well, while you can use different widgets and extensions for elementor to make it better. SEO is kind of core or you can say is a backbone for your site.
Elementor handles the design. But for SEO, you need a partner. You can go for Rank Math, Yoast, or All in One SEO.
So, firstly install your preferred SEO plugin. Any of these SEO plugins will help you with:
My Tip: Not sure which one you should pick? Go with Rank Math. It perfectly integrates with Elementor. Also RankMath offers step-by-step setup. And the cherry on the top, it’s lightweight and beginner-friendly.
Don’t just make text look bold. Use real heading tags.Here’s how:
Why? Search engines use heading tags to understand your content. And users scan headings to decide if they want to stay.Structure matters. Always.
Heading, subheading is a major SEO thing most beginners tend to ignore. But applying proper Hn tags (H1, H2, H3, etc,) is far more important than you think. In one word, it’s a HUGE SEO practice.
So, when you write your post, you can follow this exactly as it is.
You’ll get the heading in Elementor’s text editor widget section under “HTML tag”.
But why does it matter?
Google mostly relies on heading tags to understand the content structure. And as you should know, Google loves structured data.
If you skip them or use it incorrectly, it will confuse Google’s crawlers as well as readers.
And that’s not very user friendly. So, why not let me give you an example.

My Tip: Well this tip is an open secret. But, always and I repeat always, use Title Case in headings.
URLs are the addresses of a website page. While you already know a website usually has multiple URLs. But some people don’t optimize their URLs with keywords.
Let me ask you a question. Suppose there are 2 separate website URLs. Both have the same content.
URL 1: sitename.com/page?id=1234URL 2: sitename.com/best-seo-practices-for-elementor
Which one would you click?
Well, obviously you’ll click the second URL, if I’m not wrong. Why did you choose the second URL? Because it clearly defines what content you might see in it.
Google also understands it, and obviously prefers the second URL. Which is keyword focused and gives a basic understanding of what might be inside.
But beware don’t write a flying cow poem inside this URL: “sitename.com/best-seo-practices-for-elementor”. This will make the relevance to absolute 0. And Google will discredit its search relevancy.
But I must inform you that elementor doesn’t control the URL directly. A URL comes from your post or page slug in WordPress.
My Tip: Always keep the main keyword in the URL. Suppose you have a long-tail keyword. Try not to overstuff and keep only the seed part in the URL.
Life is a race of time. Whoever goes fast, leads the way. These sayings are so common not just in real life but also in SEO.
In reality, no one waits for slow loading websites while there are other alternatives. And speed is a ranking factor for Google per se.
So, how can you optimize for speed? Here’s how:
Use lightweight themes. (i.e, Hello Elementor, Astra, or Blocksy)Always upload compressed images (Use TinyPNG)Use caching plugin (i.e, WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache)Turn off unused Elementor features from Elementor > Settings > FeaturesMinify CSS and JS files (i.e, UglifyJS for JS, CSSNano for CSS)
My Tip: Always test your speed using Google PageSpeed Insights or GTmetrix. And don’t just focus on the web version. Mobile Friendly websites rank better in Google.
Images are a core part of websites and contents. They bring your design to life, but they also affect performance and SEO.
Images bring your design to life. But if you don’t already know, they impact SEO performances as well.
Here’s some nifty little tricks you can do to optimize your site images.
My Tip: Elementor lets you set alt text inside the Image widget settings. Adding a proper image description helps Google understand the image better. And if the image fails to load, the placeholder text will be understandable enough for the users.
Internal linking is a must for SEO. If you have structured data or structured content in your website, internal linking will help you grow by yourself.
It’s like a tree watering on its own. Sounds a bit stretchy, right? But I bet it’s not.
Internal links helps you by the following measures:
Let me give you an example on how it works.
If you’re writing a post called “Elementor SEO Best Practices,” link to:
Now, Google will crawl your initial “Elementor SEO Best Practices” article, and will find 3 more articles. Google will understand, this site focuses on solutions for Elementor. There’s some authority right then and there.
My Tip: Internal linking is important. But do not, interlink with articles which are not relevant.
Schema helps search engines understand your content better. It’s like a blueprint of a site’s content structure.
So, basically what it does is:
But let me tell you, there’s a hefty amount of schema available for Google. And not every website needs to implement everything. But some commons should be there.
Here’s a detailed Google Schema Markup (Structured Data) Guide.
My Tip: Never create fake narratives or falsify information for schema markup. Always ensure the structured data you used matches your content for the page.
While there are quite a few more SEO practices out there which if I try to write this content would be much longer. So, let’s end it right here.
But don’t worry, let me give you a little bit rundown of what to find next:
…And more!
Remember, SEO for Elementor isn’t a trick. You don’t need to master everything at once. Just start with one step. Then another. And keep going.
Your goal isn’t just to rank. The goal is to create a website that feels human, helpful, and worth trusting.
And what will happen when you do that?
Google will notice.
Elementor gives you the canvas. Master Addons gives you the extensions. SEO gives you the spotlight.
So, build more websites and take SEO measures to outperform your competitors. And do use Master Addons for a better looking website.
