Why Divi is the best WordPress theme for SEO Freelancers

When it comes to WordPress there are literally a million different options to choose from when it comes to setting up your website but which one is the best for SEO?

After weighing the criteria of ease of use, ready-made designs, ongoing support and customization I believe the Divi WordPress theme by Elegant Themes is the best theme to use if you want to provide great SEO as an SEO freelancer or SEO consultant.

Divi is Easy to Use

When it comes to SEO freelancing or SEO consulting as an individual the one major challenge everyone faces is bandwidth. There is so much to do and not enough time in the day – between selling and landing new opportunities and then having to deliver on those projects your time becomes scarce.

This is where WordPress Divi theme by Elegant Themes comes into play, I love the intuitive interface it provides while providing endless customizations to deliver a high-performing website to your clients.

Divi has Pre-Built Templates

One major advantage that the Divi theme has going for it is the fact there are dozens of pre-built website templates to choose from that include designs such as homepage, about, service page, contact page, and a few others depending on the template chosen.

Now your only job is to add your custom content and update any images you’d like to make more specific to the company you are choosing such as the logo.

Step Three: Review the layouts and click use

It really is as simple as pressing 3 clicks of your mouse to have an out of the box and ready to use business template to customize. In this, example it’s an attorney’s template. 

Best Divi SEO Add-Ons

Although the Divi theme by Elegant Themes is amazing out of the box there are other helpful add-ons you can purchase separately such as the “table of contents maker” add-on I am using in this very post (above).

Did you know adding jump links (table of contents) can help your SEO? Read more in the blog. 

Best SEO Plugins for Divi

Out of the box Divi provides many features older WordPress themes might not have included such as:

• the ability to disable comments
• place to easily inject popular codes such as Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console verification, and your favorite heat mapping tool
• Add social media logos and links
• Contact form integrations

This saves unneeded extra bloat that was required in some other wordpress themes. Every bit helps when it comes to site speed right?

However, there are other plugins that can take Divi to the next level. Here are the best plugins for websites using the Divi theme:

• Yoast SEO
• Smush.it
• SchemaApp
• Redirection
