SEO & UX

What’s the deal with these things?
SEO
• Search Engine Optimization
• Helping your pages rank better in search
  results
• Massaging content, links, HTML elements, etc.
  to improve your pages’ ability to rank for key
  terms



                  Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
UX
• User Experience
• The way a person feels about a process or
  experience on your pages
• Massaging the design, imagery, colors, and
  layout of your pages to cater to the
  sophisticated web user



                  Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
Doesn’t mix with others
SEO & UX are like Oil & Water
     • All SEO focuses on is traffic, ranking,
       revenue, and web presence
     • SEO is just getting links any way you can




     • Everything is about what’s on the site
     • UX is so focused on the experience that
       they ignore that the first step for many
       users is a search engine

Examples of Bad UX




Windows Start Button
The one and only way to stop running your computer


                      Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
Examples of Bad UX




                                 Busy sites can confuse your user
•   Tons of actions
      •   Drop down shopping list on the left                  •   Camera & Photo shop
      •   Promos for the Kindle Fire                           •   On page ad
      •   Spring’s Most Wanted                                 •   Deal of the Day

                                          Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
Examples of Bad UX




                      Flash, full image sites, and too much interaction
•   Site that is difficult to use
•   Difficult to see
•   Offers no real direction
•   Way too much interaction for a user to really take in
•   Don’t retain visitors

                                            Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
Examples of Good UX




                                                       Clean & Clear
•   Make it easy for the user to interact with your site
      •    easy to use navigation
      •    an obvious reminder to where the user is on the site
      •    a clear call to action.
•   The proper use of white space, imagery, and buttons goes a long way towards getting users to interact with your
    site the way you want them to.
                                                  Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
Examples of Good UX




                                 Options without the Confusion
•   In the world of B2B, sometimes you cater to multiple user types. It’s not easy to figure out what a new
    customer, current customer, or potential partner want to see first when they visit your site.
•   In this example, all 3 are catered to without experiencing alienation in the design.

                                          Portent Inc. - www.portent.com
SEO & UX
•   Focused on details                               • Focused on the user
•   Content is King                                      • Pleasing layouts
•   Links! Links! Links!                                  • Color schemes
•   Code                                                   • Menu options

• Get visitors                                            • Keep visitors

  leads, sales, etc.                                                  etc.

Editor's Notes

  1. Amazon has long been a staple of how to do things right, but of late, they’ve become a worse example of user experience. On this page, there are a lot of actions that the user is shown, from the drop down shopping list on the left, to the promos for the Kindle Fire, Spring’s Most Wanted, the Camera & Photo shop, the on page ad, the Deal of the Day, and the various other options that await the user.All of these are roadblocks to user interaction with your site.
  2. While the example here isn’t the worst for the site’s demographic, it’s a good example of a site that is difficult to use, difficult to see, offers no real direction, and way too much interaction for a user to really take in.Many sites opt for the big visuals, to really draw their users’ eyes. However, more often than not, these sites don’t retain visitors for multiple reasons – some users don’t have Flash, some users get overwhelmed, etc.
