Reply To: Followup question? Do real seos cooperate with the web designer to make those changes?

I think of web design and SEO are two separate “levers” you can pull to affect a website in different ways. You can do them concurrently, but they have different goals and impacts.

Unless there’s something slow or outdated about your website theme or design, there would be no need to redesign just because of SEO work.

If someone wanted to do both, I would always do SEO first. Then the designer can work around the new strategic copy, and sections of their work won’t be made irrelevant by significant copy changes
