Make my content easier to find and read?

Basic SEO (search engine optimization) will help your page appear higher in Google search results and make it more user-friendly. Our goal is to help all our audiences, including current and prospective students, quickly find the information they are looking for on our website. 

What you must do as a 麻豆国产AV content editor:

  • Include alt-text for images on your page. Alt-text is a one-sentence description of an image that gives someone using a screen reader an idea of what is in the image. 
  • Include a meta description on your page. A meta description is a short sentence that summarizes the content on your page. It will be partially displayed as part of the search snippet in a search engine results page. Think of it as a pitch for how your page will answer the reader's questions. 
  • Use headings in the correct order. Headings help sighted users visually scan the page. They help people with visual impairments find and navigate to content on the page. And they help search engines like Google understand what content is on the page in the paragraphs that follow the heading.
