...I mean, I need to build a review site and looking for some advice to find a good SEO friendly review wordpress theme, spent 3h on the forum and the info about this is almost non-existent. I thought will find more about this. I usually don't ask for something before first trying to find it, but this time had to post....

I heard about aweful things about Pro Review Theme regarding SEO and thats a pity cause it look nice.

Im looking for a nice SEO FRIENDLY review wordpress theme.

Any suggestions welcome! Thank you!

    Snatch,

    I want to advise you on this wise - theme developers aren't SEO experts. Sure they give some descent tools but don't make the assumption what is put into the theme interface is either accurate or enough to achieve your goals.

    Any theme can be SEO friendly if you go into the editor (header) begin the 'bread crumb trail' their for SEO.

        Ive started with reviewit theme and then installed yoast seo plugin. Found some threads about it on the forum, but I had to dig real deep to find them. Many marketers said that yoast is very good, even may be better than all in one seo plugin, so I will use it. To be honest, it looks really good, you can add meta tags, descriptions and all you need to optimize each post and review. It has very cool function that it checks for you if you did everything correctly too.

    Thesis/Genesis is SEO friendly and can be tweaked easily for reviews along with the right plugins.

    There are many different factors that contribute to good SEO besides page titles, keywords and meta data. Page load speed is a huge factor and one of the biggest problems with most themes because they're built by developers, not marketers.

    If I had to choose one, I would go with the latest Thesis theme. Those guys are marketers who know how to develop a WP theme.

      That's good idea, Ive heard that you can install a review plugin along with Thesis, do you know which is it?

        No, I've gotten into the review site niche. I wouldn't be able to help you there.

    OP, long time ago, I had the belief that there's one WP theme that will standout above the rest when it comes to SEO-friendliness. I was wrong. Every single theme can be SEO-friendly. It all boils down to what you do SEO-wise. SEO has many 'ingredients' and I assume you already know those stuff. Otherwise, feel free to ask. We have lots of SEO comrades here in WF.

    All sites are suitable to be built as SEO friendly.
    It's not hard to grab a template and modify it so it is completely SEO friendly. Developers don't have time to build a theme and give you all the SEO right away, ain't no body got time for dat!

    Add your own SEO plugins and customize your geared audience with your own title tags and descriptions tags.

        I'm putting together a review site as well using Elegant Themes, Yoast SEO plugin, and MyReviewPlugin plugin that drives the reviews. Granted, I'm delving into the SEO rabbit hole now trying to get it up and running but I dont think you necessarily need a 'review theme'.

          Dude! MyReviewPlugin project is dead. I ordered it last week and the plugin is not working and it has not been updated since May. I tried to contact the support but even their support ticket system is broken! Shame, the plugin was great but there is no support and updates.
