Has anyone here used Figma CMS as a main site for SEO?
Posted by on February 27, 2026 at 2:49 pmHello!
My company and I are about to publish our first batch of SEO content (landing pages + blog). Right now we’re debating between:
1) WordPress (which I’ve used before for SEO), or
2) Figma CMS (which I learned about today lol)Design quality is great in Figma (especially with newer features and “vibe coding”), but when we tested our main landing page: page speed sucked and SEO score was low. I couldn't figure out how to set canonical URLs or add schema code to individual pages.
Has anyone here ran SEO campaigns using Figma CMS as the main system?
Is it viable long-term? Or does it become painful operationally?
And one more question, do you know of any working plugins that can turn Figma sites and convert them to WordPress without much work required?
Advice would be greatly appreciated. Have a great Friday!

I’m not sure what you mean by SEO score was low. There is no real SEO score used by search engines. Not one that is published anyhow.
The page speed I would be worried about if the pages are actually slow. I don’t mean that Core Web Vitals scores are bad or anything like that. I mean the actual experience of loading and navigating pages.
Haven’t used or seen Figma used for anything other then building wireframes and design work. Haven’t had any experience with the CMS.

Cms are more or less the same.
I have clients that are using wordpress, framer. Webflow, wix, figma, ghost and other cms as well and there’s not much difference. Ignore the SEO scores until and unless your site is laggy as hell

Figma isn’t built for SEO. You’ll hit crawlability issues and slow speeds. Better to use a real CMS like Ghost or WP. If you want to scale content production, Kitful AI helps automate your blog workflow once you’re set up.

Using Figma as a CMS for a production site from an SEO perspective is risky because the platform was designed for design prototyping not web publishing. The main concerns are limited control over meta tags, heading structure, schema markup, and page load performance which are all critical for SEO. You also lose the ability to have a proper XML sitemap, custom robots.txt, and granular URL structure control that dedicated CMS platforms provide. For a portfolio or design showcase it might work fine but for any site where organic search traffic matters you are better off using a proper CMS like WordPress, Webflow, or even a static site generator that gives you full control over all the technical SEO elements.
