Content can’t rank if the technical foundation is broken. Fix these first.

Crawlability

  • Robots.txt — Not blocking important pages. Sitemap referenced.
  • Sitemap — All important URLs. Submitted to Search Console.
  • Indexation — No accidental noindex on key pages. No duplicate content issues.

Speed

  • Core Web Vitals — LCP, INP, CLS. All under target.
  • Server — TTFB under 600ms. Hosting and CDN matter.
  • Assets — Images optimized. JS and CSS minimal. Lazy load below the fold.

Structure

  • Canonicals — Every page has one. No self-referencing errors.
  • Schema — Organization, BreadcrumbList. Service and Article where applicable.
  • Headers — One H1. Logical H2/H3. No skipped levels.
