Challenges you'll face
Your main challenge
Not Understanding Semantic Tags
You've been using text elements and frames without thinking about what they mean to a search engine. Your headings aren't structured as H1, H2, H3. Your navigation isn't marked as navigation. Your images don't have alt text. The page looks exactly right to a human and completely unreadable to a crawler.
You need to:
Set semantic tags on every text element. H1 for the primary heading, H2 for sections, H3 for subsections
Use only one H1 per page. The primary topic of that specific page
Mark navigation, main content and footer regions with the correct semantic roles
Page Titles and Descriptions
Your page titles are either missing, generic, or just the site name repeated on every page. Your meta descriptions are either blank or auto-generated. You've never thought about what someone would actually type into Google to find this page, or what they'd want to see in the search result before clicking.
You need to:
Write a unique, descriptive title for every page, not just the homepage
Keep titles under 60 characters so they don't get cut off in search results
Write meta descriptions that make someone want to click, under 160 characters
Include the primary keyword naturally in both the title and description
Set clean, readable URL slugs for every page. No random strings or default names
Image optimisation
Your images are the right resolution and the right dimensions. But they're slowing the site down because they haven't been compressed, they're missing alt text, and you're using formats that are larger than they need to be. Images are consistently one of the biggest performance and SEO problems on Framer sites built by beginners.
You need to:
Compress every image before uploading
Add meaningful alt text to every image that a screen reader would need to describe
Use WebP format where possible for better compression without quality loss
Avoid using images for text that should be actual text elements
Every page has a unique title and meta description
SEO checklist completed before every site goes live
Semantic tags are set correctly on every text element
Clients finding their own site on Google
URL slugs are clean and readable on every page
Images are compressed and have meaningful alt text
Same page title repeated across every page on the site
Images uploaded without alt text or compression
Multiple H1 tags on the same page
SEO treated as the last thing before publish rather than part of the build
Performance score never checked after publishing
Site set to noindex accidentally
the Keys to success
Write for humans, optimise for crawlers
Treat analytics as a design tool
Know the handoff before you start
Graduating from stage 6
Every site you publish has unique titles and descriptions on every page
Semantic tags are set correctly without having to think about it
Images are compressed and have alt text before they go on the canvas
Analytics is connected before the first publish on every project
A client's site is appearing in search results for terms they actually care about
You understand the difference between access sharing and ownership transfer
This stage is about making your work count beyond the canvas. A beautiful site that nobody finds is a portfolio piece, not a result. The Strategist who graduates Stage 6 doesn't just know how to build, they know how to launch. And launching properly means the site is found, tracked, accessible, and owned by the right person from day one.
Your main goal at Stage 6 is to make sure everything you've built actually works in the real world. Not just visually, but structurally, technically, and strategically. The sites you build from here should be discoverable, accessible, measurable, and handed over cleanly. That's what separates a builder from a professional.
