Search Engine Looking for… Domain name is most attractive Being Friendly is Hot Friendly URLs, difference between domain.com/pages.aspx?ID=4 domain.com/widget/Acme2000
![Page 29: #SP24 #SP24S066 Before Uou Make Sharepoint Public](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/544441cdafaf9fb0098b475a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)

have this option)
Setup Friendly URLs

Search Engine Looking for… Clarity, direction, guidance SiteMap.xml XML file listing your site’s pages
On-Prem – Site Collection Feature “Search Engine Sitemap”
SPO – Search Engine Sitemap Settings

Search Engine Looking for… Substance, depth, intelligence Content is KING! Keep it fresh, update as frequent as possible
Optimized keywords Images (alt text) Use Heading Styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, etc)
![Page 32: #SP24 #SP24S066 Before Uou Make Sharepoint Public](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051411/544441cdafaf9fb0098b475a/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
