Ask any Drupal Expert or a Drupal Developer and they will have their own list of favourite modules that they use for undertaking SEO. There are quite a lot of SEO modules available and it can often be confusing for a new Drupal user as to which plugin to use to undertake a particular task. Especially, when there are multiple modules available to undertake the same task. Well, here is a list of SEO modules that our team of Drupal Web Developer Sydney have created. Arguably one of the most popular modules of Drupal, judging by the sheer amount of downloads of this. And rightly so, after all, it does save a user the time and effort in manually creating the path/URL aliases because this module allows for automatic generation of URLs and paths for your website. The result? A well-presented URL structure rated favourably by Google’s Search Engine’s Not only from an SEO perspective, but a user perspective too, this allows a user to clearly and easily navigate their way to know exactly what to expect next. Because Drupal doesn’t support editable meta tags fields, this module is that extra bit special and handy because it allows a user to enjoy control over not just the meta tags, including page title, description, and keywords, but also the flexibility to set meta tags for users, nodes, taxonomy terms, and views, along with the ability to set default meta tags for the entire site. So when it comes to SEO, summary descriptions about your site and social networks can be hugely improved with the proper use of Meta tags. A useful module that adds a breadcrumb menu on the top of your website, serving a dual purpose; it allows a user to have a clearly defined navigation hierarchy and, gives an internal link to the relevant URL thanks to the anchor text in the breadcrumb. Search 404 - This module focuses on searching the keywords in the URL with the intent of automatically navigating to the internal site search with the related term in the URL, instead of the 404 page thus helping retain visitors coming in from old URLs and tackling the issues of increasing bounce rates.

All in all, a nifty little solution especially when deploying multiple seo tools in one place. A replacement for the xmlsitemap module for Drupal 8, this is a very useful module that automatically creates an up to date sitemap of your website that is not only handy from Google’s perspective to crawl and index the website including adhering to the new Google standards regarding multilingual content by creating hreflang sitemaps and image sitemaps. And, also conforms to sitemaps.org specifications. Currently available in Drupal 7 and 8, using the current URL (path alias) and the current page's title, this module is a plug-and-play block to be implanted near the page's header to facilitate the creation of semantic and consistent paths. And the best part, because it uses the current URL, it auto-generates the breadcrumb which means it can get to work without the user having to actually work on it. CDN - Also known as Content Delivery Networks, this module facilitates straightforward CDN integration for Drupal sites so files can be downloaded from a network of servers instead of a web server.
