Google SEO made simple (tip 166)
🕺 SEO Made Simple...
Ready for the next crispy and simple tip?
Here comes THE INDEXING DANCE...
- Googlebot = Dance Partner
Google’s little bots “dance” through your website
to decide what gets shown in search results. 🕵️♂️ - Pages & Posts: Main Rooms
Keep your sitemap clean.
Prioritize your main pages (home, about, blog) and important posts.
Simple is better! ✨ - Taxonomies: Extra Dance Floors
Categories = different dance areas.
Tags = cool topics across rooms.
Let bots groove on these for more content visibility! 💃 - Too Many Tags? Dance Floor Overload!
Too many tags/categories = crowded floor.
Keep it tidy to avoid tripping over your own SEO efforts. 🚫 - Bloat = Bad Dance Moves
Don’t invite every tag to the sitemap.
Only your best, most important categories and tags should be there. 🎉 - Sitemap = Dance Map
Your sitemap is a guide for Googlebots.
Make it smooth and clear
so they don’t get lost on the way to your best content. 🗺️ - Chocolate Example 🍫
- Pages: Home, About, Contact
- Posts: “Top Chocolate Cake Recipes”
- Taxonomies: “Recipes,” “Travel,” tagged with “Dark Chocolate,” “Best Shops”
Let Googlebots waltz through this chocolate paradise!
- Keep It Fun & Focused
Help Google dance its way to your best content.
Don’t overcomplicate, and keep your sitemap clean! 🏆
Now you're ready to make Googlebots dance their way to your top content!

Having the designations for the steps should help clarify some of the terms we hear people talk about.
Thanks,

SEO is a very extended and harsh subject indeed.
And learning all those steps is the foundation of your SEO.
On your worpress dashboard you have posts and pages, tags and categories. Submitting a post and page sitemap is best when you start your website.
A sitemap contains a lists of all your posts, pages and eventually taxonomies (categories and tags)
For starters the seo plugin is provided.
Make sure to create a profile in google and add your domain for authentification
Install google site kit and connect
I hope this clarifies a little?
I meself after testing lots of plugin use rankmath seo. It comes with a free version as well. I do not recommend it for starters. However, I do recommend their youtube channel, which explains all in details, the how and why. And I am sure you will find many answers there.
Just an example:https://youtu.be/FrpyjJvwxKs on how to fix json errors, which occur a lot on sites
Good luck!
