Technical SEO Optimization on Webflow. Modern Standards and Capabilities

Ambi Tech implements all modern Google technical SEO standards, its own expertise, and recommendations from the Finsweet SEO Guide.

We design and deploy websites on Webflow in a way that makes them equally clear and accessible to both people and search engines.

Crawlability & Indexation

Webflow generates a sitemap.xml after each publication. If localization is enabled, the file automatically includes hreflang tags for each language version.

If needed, auto-generation can be disabled, and you can upload your own sitemap.xml. The robots.txt file is available for editing, allowing you to block test subdomains or media libraries from indexing.

Canonical & Duplicate-control

A canonical URL can be set globally or individually for each static page.

By default, every page in collection pagination is assigned a unique canonical with the “?page=” ending. However, we use a script that rewrites the canonical to the base slug — this way, PageRank is not split between pages.

Structured Data (schema.org)

Schema.org makes it possible to display rich snippets in search results:

  • Price / Availability (product price and stock status)

  • Rating & Reviews (stars and number of reviews)

  • Local Business (address, phone numbers, logo)

  • FAQ (expandable answers directly in SERP)

We manually implement JSON-LD for static pages. For dynamic pages (Collection Pages), we use CMS fields to store data for each individual item. At the Collection Page Template level, we generate a universal JSON-LD that passes unique values for every CMS item. The Schema.org markup is automatically updated along with content changes and publication in the CMS.

URL Architecture and Internal Linking

We design the URL structure already at the prototyping stage: /category/topic/slug

The only Webflow limitation is that collection pages are placed at the root (/blog/article) and cannot be nested within each other.

We pay special attention to navigational and contextual links.

Key goals of internal linking:

  • PageRank transfer: links from authoritative pages “nourish” target content.

  • Navigation and retention: relevant links make the user journey easier and reduce bounce rate.

301 Redirects & Migrations

Webflow supports bulk import/export of redirects via CSV, allowing you to manage thousands of redirect rules at once. A Wildcard redirect is also available (“mask” that redirects all subpages of the old structure with a single command, reducing the number of rules and the size of the manifest file).

Security & Global CDN

Every website receives a free SSL certificate. If needed, you can connect your own certificate. HSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) forces the browser to always use HTTPS, protecting against traffic interception. Both static and dynamic content are delivered through Fastly and Amazon CloudFront networks, which reduces TTFB in global projects. This, in turn, positively impacts page load speed.

Performance

Google considers a page fast if, for 75% of user sessions, the following metrics are met: LCP ≤ 2.5s, INP ≤ 200ms, CLS ≤ 0.1.

Webflow generates clean semantic HTML without inline CSS and offers the following Advanced publishing options:

  • Asynchronously load JS — scripts load in parallel with content;

  • Minify HTML/CSS/JS — reduces file size;

  • Per-page CSS/JS — only the resources needed for a page are loaded.

In addition to the above options, we provide:

  • Conversion of images to WebP/AVIF;

  • Lazy loading by default;

  • Image size optimization according to the user’s screen resolution.

With a moderate amount of integrations, functionality, and animation scenarios, we can guarantee a 90+ PageSpeed Lighthouse score for both desktop and mobile.

Best Practices

01

Semantic markup. Proper use of tags like <header>, <main>, <footer>, <nav>, <article>, <aside>, <figure>, etc. instead of excessive <div> elements.

02

Open Graph tags for social media.

03

Relevant alt-texts for images.

04

Correct heading hierarchy
H1 → H2 → H3.

05

Unique SEO Titles and Meta Descriptions on all pages (both static and dynamic).

06

Regular audit of broken links and orphan pages.

Technical SEO optimization is systematic work with crawling, duplicates, structured data, security, and performance. Thanks to Webflow’s capabilities and Ambi Tech’s expertise, we ensure that every necessary page is indexed, loads quickly, and transmits maximum trust to search engines.

FAQ

What exactly is included in technical SEO optimization on Webflow by Ambi?

We configure sitemap.xml (with hreflang for multilingual sites), canonicals and pagination anti-duplicates, JSON-LD structured data, logical URL architecture and internal linking, 301 redirects (CSV + wildcard), SSL/HSTS and CDN, as well as performance optimization (async JS, minify, per-page CSS/JS) and best practices (OG tags, alt texts, semantic markup, unique titles/descriptions).

Can we get rich snippets (stars, prices, FAQ) in Google search results?

Yes. For static pages we write JSON-LD manually, and for CMS templates we generate a universal JSON-LD and pass unique data from each item; after publishing, the schema updates automatically. This enables rich snippets: Price/Availability, Rating & Reviews, Local Business, FAQ, etc.

What speed/PageSpeed scores do you usually ensure?

We focus on Core Web Vitals (LCP ≤ 2.5s; INP ≤ 200ms; CLS ≤ 0.1) and utilize Webflow's built-in capabilities (async JS, minification, loading only necessary resources), as well as WebP/AVIF and lazy-loading. With a moderate number of integrations, we aim to achieve 90+ in PageSpeed Lighthouse on both desktop and mobile.

How does migration from an old website work without traffic loss?

Webflow supports bulk import/export of 301 redirects via CSV and wildcard redirects, so you can quickly cover thousands of URLs and correctly transfer page authority to the new structure. If necessary, we also manage canonicals to avoid splitting PageRank.
