Google analyzes the actions and interactions of the users on the page, watches how they engage with it, and notes these traces of activity. If visitors tend to click on a website and immediately bounce right back to the results page, this will have an impact on where Google places the page ranking in the future. Google measures scroll depth, conversion rate of calls to action, abandonment rate of processes like checkouts, the number of pages viewed, what types of content they interact with, and the total time spent on the website. UX designers know that every move a user makes on the page will be tracked. They direct the user through a hierarchy on the page to the desired result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Design User Flows<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Users move on a path through a website, and these are trackable just like other behavior signals. A strong user flow starts with a simple landing page that is easy to navigate. Website designers walk the balance of presenting calls to action without increasing &#8220;friction&#8221; on a website. Elements that are confusing or take too long to interact with will negatively affect user experience. This then has a negative impact on search engine results. Content quality is important, but interactivity of the website can&#8217;t be neglected for SEO success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">UX Design and SEO examples<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon, Spotify, and Etsy are three examples of powerhouse websites that seamlessly integrate SEO and UX design. <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\">Amazon<\/a> is known for their speedy, intuitive shopping experience from search to checkout. Product pages have unique content like reviews with photos and a strong internal linking structure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/spotify.com\">Spotify<\/a>&#8216;s page has user experience at the forefront, although it&#8217;s rarely used on a website any longer. The interface is easy to navigate even for young or brand-new users, and the app updates constantly tweak it to make it even more so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/Etsy.com\">Etsy<\/a> is another example of an online shop with strong user experience design. It guides visitors through the website from a landing page to search results, then product pages to checkout. Websites like these are indicators of how to convert users from visitors to the website to paying customers by integrating SEO and UX design.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>User experience design is becoming a more well-known term throughout the same industries as SEO.
