You need smart, portfolio-focused SEO!

Example:
Instead of just βHome,β name your page βDigital Marketing Portfolio | [Your Name].β

Google (and your visitors) love real results.
Create sections for:
- Case studies (what you did + measurable results)
- Campaign examples (ads, emails, social media posts)
- Client testimonials
Pro Tip:
Use numbers and results!
(Example: Achieved a 120% growth in website traffic within three months.)
4. Make It Mobile-Friendly π±
The majority of visitors will view your portfolio on their smartphones.
Make sure:
- Your site loads quickly
- Text is easy to read without zooming
- Buttons are large enough to tap easily
- Images are optimized (small size but clear)

Backlinks (other websites linking to your site) tell Google that your work is valuable.
How to get backlinks:
- Write guest posts for marketing blogs
- Share your portfolio link on LinkedIn
- Get listed in freelance directories
- Ask satisfied clients to link to your portfolio
Even a few strong backlinks can improve your SEO results!
6. Use SEO-Friendly URLs π
Keep your website links simple and descriptive.

β
Good: www.yoursite.com/digital-marketing-portfolio
β Bad: www.yoursite.com/page?id=12345
Clear URLs are easier for Google and visitors to understand.
7. Regularly Update Your Portfolio π οΈ
A fresh, updated website ranks higher in search results.
Keep your portfolio fresh by:
