Indexability

Is Your website crawlable by search engines? This permits your web pages to be found correctly in natural search results. Or, if there are pages that shouldn’t be indexed, like copy content, I can help correct your website indexability by correcting your website so that Google can crawl. Implementing internal linking, understanding different ways to block duplicate pages using the Robots.txt, and rel canonical tag. Best practice using JavaScript within your website so Google understands what elements are visible.

XML sitemaps offer additional context on how your website is structured and the way that page hierarchies link to one another.

By fitting metadata to precious search phrases, your website conveys more clearly to hunt engines on the content, context, and objective behind your web pages.

Here are the steps to follow to diagnose any crawl issues. Get Screaming Frog. Check the site size. For sites that are extremely large, set up a virtual machine using AWS to crawl from the cloud. Monitor the crawl progress, and if it can't finish, there may be a major crawl issue for Google. Review any internal 3xx/4xx status codes. If these are due to site-wide template elements, fix these issues first. Check for any instances of non-indexable URLs. Check key pages are indexable and properly canonicalised for these pages. Also, check for any URLs blocked by Robots.txt.

To ensure optimal search engine performance, follow these steps: Check if your site has a sitemap.xml file. If it doesn't, create one. Crawl the sitemap.xml file, and confirm that it includes all key pages while removing any non-indexable ones (e.g., 3xx, xx, canonicalized, noindex). Verify if the site uses child sitemaps. If it does, group them into clear categories (e.g., Brands, Products, Categories, Blogs, etc.) and consider splitting large ones into each respective category's sitemap index file. Sign up for Google Search Console and ensure that a property has been created and verified. Submit your sitemap.xml to Search Console, which should be under 50mb.

Compare the original source code to the DOM using the View Rendered Source extension. Use Google's URL Inspector to render pages and ensure Googlebot can crawl and index these elements. If unsure about content loading properly, use site:t content. Identify issues with JavaScript and consider eliminating dependencies for key content that cannot be indexed. Change JavaScript links to proper <a> tags.
