Build Your Digital Foundation With Technical SEO
From page speed and mobile responsiveness to structured data markup and XML sitemaps, Technical SEO is basically the person behind the curtain, fine-tuning behind the scenes. This attention to detail ensures that search engines can effortlessly explore and understand your content, leading to improved search rankings and an enhanced user experience. Technical SEO forms the foundation for your website to boost visibility, functionality, and performance.
Let's TalkSet Your Site up for Success
There are two factors to consider when it comes to Technical SEO—crawling and indexing. If you don’t know what that means, then don’t worry. You’re not alone. We’ll break down what they mean and how you can set your site up for success.
Crawling
The first thing you want to do with Technical SEO is to make sure your website is easy for search engines to “crawl.” Crawling is the process that search engine bots use to systemically browse the pages on your website to collect information about what your business does. These automated bots scan your pages’ content, images and links to determine relevancy, quality, and ranking of your web page in search results.
Get In TouchHere are a few ways Technical SEO can help your website’s crawlability.
Start with an SEO-friendly sitemap.
Your sitemap is basically a road map for your website. When your sitemap is clear and organized in a way that makes sense, bots are able to easly understand the hierarchy of your site’s content. Beyond that, a thoughtfully-crafted sitemap helps you identify broken links and benefits your user experience.
Send that sitemap to Google.
This part of Technical SEO can get a bit, well, technical. Forgive our pun. You have to submit your sitemap to Google in a way that Google can actually understand, which is typically an XML. If you’re not a tech expert, that’s okay. (That’s why you hire experts like us!) An XML (Extensible Markup Language) is a type of text-based file format used to structure various types of content.
Indexing
Once a search engine crawls your website pages, it doesn’t stop there. Think about it this way. The internet is similar to a library, and websites are the books. When the librarian goes out to get new books, that’s like bots crawling websites. But when the books get back to the library, they have to be catalogued so people can easily find them. Indexing is the process of analyzing the text, images, and links on all those websites that were crawled. This allows search engines to show relevant information in search results.
