How to Rank Florist Websites on Google
Here are our favorite tips to offer florists, broken out into technical, on-page, and off-page suggestions.
These SEO strategies apply to local florists, online flower delivery companies, event florists, funeral florists, garden centers, houseplant nurseries, silk flower wholesalers, floral design studios, and other floral companies.
1.) Technical SEO Tips for Florists
Technical SEO refers to optimizing your flower shop website's infrastructure so it can be properly crawled and indexed by search engines, which includes aspects like site speed, mobile optimization, XML sitemaps, and structured data markup. This ensures search engines can easily access, understand, and rank the website's content.
We can help out with all of these items and more, or you can handle them on your own:
- Ensure your website has a responsive design that works well desktop, small laptop, tablet, and mobile devices. There are a lot of screen sizes out there to accomodate. On a desktop computer, you can resize your browser window from large to small to see how different layout elements adjust for smaller screen sizes.
- Review your website's speed with a tool like Google PageSpeed Insights. Don't get caught up trying to pass Core Web Vitals. It isn't always possible on complex websites and might not be worth the investment. Instead, try to fix simple things to get a score of 60+.
- Use HTTPS encryption for website security to protect sensitive information such as personal details of clients, as well as to show credibility to visitors.
- Create and submit a sitemap to Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools to help search engines index your website and easily find all the pages related to floral services such as wedding flowers, bouquets and arrangements.
- Implement local business schema markup to help search engines better understand the content on your website, which can lead to rich snippets in search results.
- Use canonical tags to prevent duplicate content issues, especially if you have multiple pages with similar information about flower arrangements, types of flowers or services.
- Monitor your website's crawl errors and fix them promptly, as this can improve the visibility of your website in search engine results pages. You can find such errors in Google Search Console.
2.) On-Page SEO Tips for Florists
On-page SEO involves optimizing each page of your florist website to rank higher and earn more relevant traffic in search engines. This often focuses on elements like keyword presence, meta tags, quality of content, user experience, page organization, and internal linking.
We can help out with all of these items and more, or you can handle them on your own:
- Create high-quality, original content that targets your audience's search intent, such as flower care tips or DIY floral arrangements, to establish authority and build trust with potential customers. While ChatGTP is a popular content writing tool, don't rely solely on AI content. It is often generic, repetitive, and/or inaccurate. Be sure to proofread content before you post it.
- Use relevant keywords, such as flower delivery, wedding florist and sympathy flowers, in your website's page titles and meta descriptions to attract potential customers who are looking for these services.
- Optimize your website's headings and subheadings with target keywords related to your floral services, such as online flower ordering or same-day delivery, to help search engines understand the content and improve the user experience.
- Include target keywords in image alt tags, such as rose bouquets and floral arrangements, to help search engines understand the context of your images and improve the accessibility of your website.
- Use internal linking to help search engines understand the structure and hierarchy of your website, and to guide visitors to relevant pages, such as seasonal collections or flower meanings.
- Use descriptive URLs with relevant keywords, such as /flower-delivery/sympathy-flowers, to improve the visibility and accessibility of your website.
- Display customer reviews and testimonials prominently on your website to build social proof and trust with potential customers who are looking for a florist.
- Scan your website for broken links and fix them right away to improve the user experience and prevent negative impact on search engine rankings. You can use this free tool from Ahrefs to scan for broken links.
3.) Off-Page SEO Tips for Florists
Off-page SEO involves all the actions taken outside of your flower shop website to impact your rankings within search engine results pages (SERPs). This includes strategies like link building, social media marketing, and reputation management. Such efforts help increase your website's reputation, authority, and visibility online.
We can help out with all of these items and more, or you can handle them on your own:
- Build useful backlinks from relevant websites, such as wedding planners or event venues, to improve your website's authority and search engine rankings.
- Create and maintain a strong presence on social media platforms such as Instagram and Pinterest to showcase your floral arrangements, engage with customers, and build brand awareness.
- Encourage satisfied customers to leave reviews on Google My Business, Yelp, and other review sites to build social proof and credibility with potential customers who are looking for a florist.
- Collaborate with other local businesses, such as gift shops or event planners, to cross-promote services and build backlinks to each other's websites.
- Create listings in local business directories and citation sites, such as The Knot and WeddingWire, to increase visibility and improve local SEO.
- Create informative and shareable content, such as flower arrangement ideas or floral wedding trends, to attract backlinks and improve your website's authority.
- Make videos to showcase your floral services, such as wedding flower arrangements or holiday bouquets, and build engagement with potential customers.
- Monitor your online reputation and respond promptly to customer feedback and reviews, whether positive or negative, to show that you value your customers and are committed to providing the best possible floral services.
We can review your website and rankings, then provide a recommendation on which areas of technical, on-page, and off-page search engine optimization need the most attention. This will help establish a budget and scope for ranking you higher in search results!

Top SEO Keywords for Florist SEO Campaigns
Looking for suggested keywords to target within the SEO campaign for your florist business? Whether you plan to hire us, or optimize the site yourself, we've got you covered!
Before starting an SEO service for a florist, we like to scan the website and see what you've got to work with for content and link authority.
From there, we'll check to see what types of services you'd like to promote. Maybe you specialize in wedding flower arrangements and want to attract brides-to-be looking for floral decorations. Perhaps you just don't feel like you are getting enough leads for your same-day delivery services.
Having this information helps us determine what types of keywords to focus on for content writing and link building.

- Flower delivery [city/area]
- Wedding flowers [city/area]

Keyword Tip #1: Florists often target keywords related to their services and location. This helps you attract potential customers who are searching for florists or specific types of flowers in the area they live in.
Keyword Tip #2: You should consider targeting long-tail keywords, which are more specific and less competitive. For example, "bridal bouquets with peonies and roses in San Francisco" may be easier to rank for than just "bridal bouquets".
