We only use html standards - easily readable by search engine crawlers.

All pages in your site contain correct meta tags, so search engines know what the title of your story and summary is. (We also add open graph meta tags and twitter card meta tags for optimized sharing on social)

A site is heavily cached, which means they load really fast. Search engines score pages based on loading time. All images, assets are being loaded through a CDN.

Sites are fully responsive, meaning it looks good on different screen sizes, which has a positive effect on your search engine ranking.

Link your own website to the site. E.g. point the news section on your website to Prezly and we've got a few ways to integrate your recent stories easily.

Set your site as public instead of private. In your site settings there is an option set your site as private to hide all your stories for search engines. If you've chosen this option, your site and stories won't show up in search engine results.
