Published July 2025 • 12 min read

The 2025 SEO landscape

Google’s SGE, Bing Copilot and Reddit-boosted results shook rankings. Yet technical basics still win.

1 — Information architecture

Cluster CMS collections: Features, Use-cases, Industries. Use cross-collection reference fields to build auto-linked silos.

2 — JSON-LD schema

<script type="application/ld+json">{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Article",
  "headline": "{{ name }}",
  "image": "{{ blog-post---featured-image.url }}",
  "author": {
    "@type": "Person",
    "name": "{{blog-post---author.name}}"
  },
  "datePublished": "{{ formatted-date }}"
}</script>

Add to Blog Post template → Custom Code → Before

3 — IndexNow instant crawling

Create a serverless function: on Webflow item publish → POST slug to https://api.indexnow.org/indexnow. Reduces time-to-index from days to minutes.

4 — Programmatic pages

Import CSV with 1000 keyword variants into Landing Pages collection. Use the new Combine field to create dynamic H1s: {{city}} Website Design Agency.

5 — Core Web Vitals recap

LCP ≤ 2 s, INP ≤ 200 ms: lazy-load hero images, self-host fonts, defer chat widgets.

Conclusion

SEO in 2025 blends AI tooling with rock-solid technical foundations. Implement the tactics above and watch rankings climb—fast.
