Design doesn’t matter to SEO
(only to the user experience).

Design vs. SEO
Matt Cutts disagrees.

Matt Cutts, Head of Google’s Webspam team

Branding, Content, SEO
COMPELLING BRAND IDENTITIES IN PRINT & WEB

Connecting the Dots for a Powerful Web Site
Design vs. SEO
“If you look at the history of sites that have done relatively well, or of
businesses that are doing well now… they make design a fundamental
piece of why their site is advantageous to go to.
“If you get that sweet spot of something compelling where the design is
really good, where the user experience just flows, you’d be amazed at
how much growth and traffic and traction you can get as a result.”

Connecting the Dots for a Powerful Web Site
Integrating all three
Creating new content helps SEO. When the user clicks through to your site,
good design keeps them there and good branding makes it memorable. When
promoting your content on different channels, branding helps to reinforce the
connection to your product or service or company. As your social media channels
get more traction, you’ll see a boost in search results. Branding is what
connects your expertise back to your organization as you create and publicize
content. The next time someone sees your brand, they click through to view
your content. Search engines give preference to highly clickable content...
