Technical SEO, built for Drupal

Good news! Drupal, by default, lends itself well to search engine optimization. However, to really utilize Drupal’s SEO advantage, you require expert configuration and ongoing optimization. Our technical SEO specialists understand both the intricacies of Drupal's architecture and the evolving demands of search engines.

Our SEO and development teams don’t “collaborate.” They work on the same problems at the same time. Right from module selection and configuration to advanced site structure optimization, we ensure your Drupal website meets the highest technical SEO standards while leveraging the platform's unique strengths.

How we enhanced Ubicquia's SEO

Ubicquia, a leading technology company, wanted to boost their online presence and organic traffic. We kicked off with a thorough audit of traffic, keywords, content, and technical SEO issues, focusing heavily on mobile performance.

We tackled sitemap problems, fixed redirects, and switched images to WebP for faster load times. Using Drupal’s features and best practices, we optimized the sitemap, fixed broken links, and improved the user experience. The results were impressive, with Ubicquia's site health score jumping from 75 to 95. This set the stage for ongoing user behavior analysis and content tweaks.

Frequently asked questions

What is Drupal SEO, how is it different from SEO on other platforms, and why does it matter for rankings?

Drupal SEO is about using Drupal’s native strengths like structured content, clean markup, flexible URLs, and deep technical control to improve search visibility. Unlike many CMS platforms that rely heavily on plugins, Drupal gives you SEO capabilities at the core level. That means better control over metadata, schema, performance, accessibility, and site architecture. When done right, Drupal SEO creates a strong technical foundation that search engines trust, which directly impacts rankings, crawlability, and long-term organic growth.

How do I choose the right Drupal SEO agency or service partner for my website?

Look for a partner who understands both SEO strategy and Drupal internals. Drupal SEO isn’t just keyword optimization, it involves content modeling, performance tuning, Core Web Vitals, and technical architecture. The right partner will talk about audits, structured data, migrations, and measurable outcomes, not just rankings. Experience with enterprise Drupal sites, migrations, and long-term optimization matters far more than generic SEO promises.

How can I improve Drupal SEO, including site speed and Core Web Vitals performance?

Improving Drupal SEO starts with performance. That includes caching strategies, image optimization, frontend cleanup, and server-level tuning. We focus heavily on Core Web Vitals like LCP, CLS, and INP because they affect both rankings and user experience. Beyond speed, we improve internal linking, content structure, metadata, schema markup, and crawl efficiency to make sure search engines can easily understand and rank your site.

What are the best Drupal SEO modules, and how do you handle technical SEO implementation in Drupal?

Drupal has powerful SEO modules like Metatag, Pathauto, Redirect, XML Sitemap, Schema.org, and SEO Checklist. But modules alone don’t solve SEO. At Specbee, we configure them based on your content structure, business goals, and scale. Technical SEO implementation includes URL strategy, canonical handling, structured data, pagination, indexation control, and clean information architecture, all done in a way that’s maintainable and future-proof.

How do you optimize multilingual and international Drupal websites for search engines?

Drupal is excellent for multilingual and global SEO. We optimize language negotiation, hreflang implementation, localized metadata, URL structures, and content duplication handling. The goal is to ensure search engines serve the right content to the right audience, in the right region and language, without cannibalization or indexing issues.

Can you perform a Drupal SEO audit and track performance, rankings, and SEO ROI over time?

Yes. Our Drupal SEO audits cover technical health, content structure, performance, indexation, and search visibility. Post-audit, we track rankings, organic traffic, Core Web Vitals, conversions, and SEO ROI over time. You get clear reporting that ties SEO improvements back to business outcomes, not just vanity metrics.

Can you support SEO during a Drupal migration or website redesign without losing search rankings?

Absolutely, and this is where Drupal SEO expertise really matters. We plan migrations with SEO at the center, including URL mapping, redirects, metadata preservation, content parity checks, and pre- and post-launch monitoring. The goal is stability first, improvement next. When done properly, a Drupal migration can protect rankings and often improve them. Here’s a useful blog post on migrating your site without losing your SEO ranking.

What ongoing Drupal SEO support and optimization do you provide after launch?

SEO doesn’t stop at launch. We provide ongoing Drupal SEO support that includes performance monitoring, technical fixes, content optimization, schema enhancements, and adapting to algorithm updates. As your site evolves, your SEO strategy evolves with it, ensuring steady growth rather than short-term spikes.

At the risk of sounding a bit too proud, we know what we’re doing. As one of the top five contributors to Drupal for multiple years and being a Signature Supporting partner, we get to help improve the platform that allows us to deliver innovation. But even more importantly, as a Drupal development company, giving back to the community is a moral responsibility. All of us drive the project forward.
