UX and SEO work together for optimal new user experiences
How SEO and Design work in sync
For a new customer – SEO and UX are two steps in the same journey. Whether someone lands on your website through branded or non-branded searches, what they experience just as they land determines their first impression of your product and impacts what happens next. Neither SEO nor UX can ace this journey without working closely together. Without SEO informing design, you’ll have a beautiful website with low traction, and without UX making SEO look intuitive, you’ll lose new site visitors as quickly as you find them.
SEO and UX start with user intent
Both crafts start by exploring user intent. SEO helps aggregate this in buckets for UX exploration

Ideal SEO-UX workflows
SEO-UX workflows depend on your company’s stage of growth. Pre-MVP startups require several combined SEO-UX research cycles to arrive at an optimal website structure, landing pages layouts and user paths. This would include style, tone, and other exploratory work that is supported by SEO competitor analysis in your market segment. MVP startups will be able to skip ahead a few steps but would require new strategies for growth to be translated from SEO research to effective UX. And scale-ups would require combined SEO-UX audits and re-designing along with new SEO-UX initiatives. No matter which path you’re on, having your SEO and UX people work well together determines organic growth success.
