- Ensuring that the site has a good amount of high-quality, relevant content. Also coding to minimize markup and maximize content, another important metric.
- Implementing straightforward, descriptive page URLs that avoid certain characters that sometimes cause ranking penalties.
- Including page-by-page metadata titles and descriptions that are also important to Google.

- Incorporating Google Analytics, which prioritizes sites for indexing by Google and also allows clients to see what content is generating the most traffic.
- Minifying CSS and JavaScript.
- Optimizing images for fast load times.
