Foundations & Grantmakers SEO Checklist
The highest-priority items for foundations: answer "am I eligible, what do they fund, and when is the deadline" directly on the site, build out eligibility and funding priority pages, and fix the industry's most common gap — vague funding priorities that generate large volumes of ineligible applications, wasting both the applicants' and the foundation's time.
Content checklist
- A page that directly answers "am I eligible, what do they fund, and when is the deadline"
- Complete, non-generic eligibility and funding priority pages
- Complete, non-generic application process and deadline pages

Technical checklist

- Clear navigation — 3 clicks or fewer to any page
- Working internal links between related pages
- A real, current sitemap.xml
What not to bother with
Local-pack optimization and location pages — this isn't a location-driven category, so that effort is better spent on content depth.
