We all know that Drupal is an open – source CMS platform that is getting increasingly attractive to use day by day. Nowadays Drupal CMS is used by millions of sites and applications, and it’s built, used and supported by an active community of people around the globe.
We can use it to build everything from personal blogs to enterprise applications. Thousands of add-on modules and designs are also available today to help us build any type of site we can think of. So it becomes very important for us to know how we can optimize our Drupal site for users.
Recently I had to go through many Drupal sites for their optimization process. I feel that there are similar challenges amongst all of them. Therefore, we can also figure out how we can do best optimize our Drupal site. Different sites will have common features and that is what I am looking at explaining here.
Because there are various different sites for the distant purposes, we have to focus on definite requirements related to that website. It’s a not good idea to find all Drupal SEO related modules and install them all on your site. We must determine the specific and relevant modules as per our requirements and business model. That is because each website has it’s own purposes and value for their customers even if they are related with similar sounding business objectives.
So the steps involved in the optimization process of Drupal based sites are –
1. Firstly focus on the site’s domain category
2. What are the business objectives of the site
3. What are the main areas of the site
4. Who is actual customer of the site
5. How we can show the best experience to our users
After analysis in all these areas, focus upon all the statistics related to the site. We have to decide what to do and how do we develop our online performance. Now if you are a starter or first timer in search engine optimization process for your website, here are some essential and great steps for moving forward in the right direction.
Step 1: As we all know URL’s structure is always essential for any site. Just enable clean URL check box in your system setting.

Step 3: Install modules and configure perfectly as per the website analysis and business objectives.
Step 4: Search, refine and filter the targeted term for it with keyword tools and as per our researched statistics.
Step 5: Map the selected keywords for targeted pages.
These steps will definitely give you better ranking and result.
