      With so many sites being based on a CMS, and with so many hundreds of different CMS out there, as SEO consultants how do you recommend dealing with on-page optimisation for a client where you discover their site is built with a CMS you have not previously used (or even heard of!)

          Thanks Joel, I guess my question is whether you have to learn the CMS in order to carry out the on-page optimisation?

            Hi Blaine,

            If the CMS allow to modify title of the page, meta description, page content, anchor text, url structure, etc. then there nothing to worry about.

            As long as you can set those as you wish and that the source code is clean and readable by search engines, then it there shouldn't be any problem.

            Search engine spiders doesn't care what CMS you use, they look at the source code of the page and gather the information they need.

            So, as long as the pages can be parsed by spiders and that you can modify the important stuff on it, it can be optimized.

            Best regards,
            Guillaume Voyer.
