The SEO Checklist module provides a list of things that have to be done before you publish any content on your website. It is a powerful organization tool and helps you build insights in SEO too.

The flexibility of taxonomy is a much discussed concept and as well known, it can be used to tag freely or in a controlled manner.
  
• Page Title – The webpage title is more important than the URL or even the content of the webpage, when it comes to ranking factors. Drupal can use automatic title generation using the page H1 tag and the site name or you can use the Page Title Module to overwrite the default selections.
  
• Ease of start, lot of support and being free – These are the virtues that make Drupal one of the most followed by and used content management systems on the planet. There is no need for a business to be locked in proprietary CMS and be at the mercy of a web development company. With Drupal, you can shift to another developer if your development company is not responsive enough or goes out of business. The strong army of Drupal developers can take it from where your earlier company left and impart additional functionality and features as desired.
