Your High-Converting Kajabi Setup Starts Here

Why SEO Matters for Kajabi Course Creators in 2025

Search engine optimization (SEO) isn’t just for bloggers and tech companies. It’s one of the most sustainable traffic sources for online course creators—especially if you’re building a personal brand.

Here’s why SEO is a game-changer in 2025:

• Trust is shifting back to Google as AI-driven content floods social media

• Course buyers are searching for solutions, not just scrolling for inspiration

• Organic traffic compounds over time (unlike ads, which stop the moment you stop paying)

If you're publishing valuable content and optimizing your Kajabi site correctly, you can start showing up when your audience is actively searching for exactly what you teach.

Step 1: Set Up Your Kajabi Site for SEO Success

Kajabi has built-in SEO settings for every page, but they don’t optimize themselves—you need to do a bit of manual setup.

✅ Update Your Page Titles and Meta Descriptions

Every page in Kajabi lets you edit these fields:

• Page title: This shows up in Google results. Keep it under 60 characters.

• Meta description: A short summary that appears below the title (under 160 characters).

Pro tip: Use keywords naturally—don’t stuff them. Think like your ideal customer would search.

✅ Optimize Your URL Slugs

Keep your URLs short and keyword-rich.
Instead of:
/how-to-create-an-online-course-with-video-lessons-and-downloadables
Use:
/create-online-course

✅ Turn On “Search Engine Visibility”

It sounds obvious, but make sure your pages aren’t set to “Hide from search engines” in the SEO settings. I’ve seen this overlooked far too often.

Step 2: Use Blog Posts to Attract Long-Tail Traffic

One of Kajabi’s most underutilized features is the built-in blog. This is your secret weapon for ranking on Google.

Here’s how to get the most out of it:

• Write blog posts that answer real questions your audience is Googling

• Focus on long-tail keywords like “best yoga course for beginners online” or “how to run Facebook Ads for a small business”

• Include your target keyword in the title, first paragraph, subheadings, image alt text, and URL

• Add internal links to your Kajabi products and lead magnets

📌 Example post idea:
Title: “How to Build a Sales Funnel in Kajabi: Step-by-Step for Beginners”
CTA: Lead them into your paid course or a free resource.

Step 3: Optimize Your Product and Sales Pages for Google

It’s not just your blog that can rank—your actual course sales pages can too.

Here’s what to do:

• Write clear, keyword-rich headings (H1, H2)

• Use bullets, bold text, and sections for easy readability

• Add images with alt tags describing the image and including relevant keywords

• Include testimonials and course outcomes (Google loves credibility signals)

💡 On Kajabi, all of this can be done directly inside the page editor—no plugins needed.

Step 4: Build Backlinks to Increase Domain Authority

Backlinks are links from other websites that point to your Kajabi site. They tell Google: “This content is trustworthy.”

Here’s how to get them:

• Guest post on other sites in your niche

• Share your blog posts on LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Medium

• Get interviewed on podcasts and ask for a link in the show notes

• Submit your site to relevant directories or communities

Don’t worry about going viral—just get high-quality links over time. Even 5–10 strong backlinks can make a big difference.

Step 5: Track Your SEO Performance (Without Overwhelm)

Kajabi doesn’t have built-in keyword tracking, but here’s how you can stay on top of your SEO growth:

• Google Search Console – See which keywords you're ranking for

• Google Analytics 4 – Monitor how much traffic your organic content is driving

• Ubersuggest or Ahrefs – Use free tools to research keywords and competitors

🎯 I recommend reviewing your SEO performance monthly—and making small content updates as you go.

Kajabi SEO Mistakes to Avoid in 2025

Let’s keep you from spinning your wheels. Here are a few common Kajabi SEO mistakes:

• Using “Home” or “Untitled” as your page title

• Publishing blog posts with no keywords or strategy

• Forgetting to submit your sitemap to Google

• Ignoring image optimization (alt text matters!)

• Hiding all your pages from search engines by default

SEO doesn’t have to be perfect. It just needs to be intentional.
