68 percent of all online experiences start with a search engine, and 53 percent of website traffic comes from organic search. It’s clear why #seo is a top priorityfor marketers. In fact, 61 percent say it’s their main focus when it comes to inbound marketing. Hi, i’m cally, from the international institute of digital marketing. Let’s dive into technical #seo. 1. Crawl your website The most important part of the #seo audit is the crawl. ● Step 1: enter your url and click “search.” ● Step 2: click “site audit” in the left sidebar. ● Step 3: run the scan. Crawling is useful for identifying problems such as duplicate content, low word count, unlinked pagination pages, and excess redirects. 2. Perform a manual google search A few google searches can tell you approximately how well your website is ranking. This will help you figure out where to start your technical #seo audit. How many of your pages appear in relevant search results? Does your site appear first when you search for it by name? Overall, where does your site appearin the results? 3. Make sure only one version of your site is browseable If your website has multiple “versions” of itself, you send search engines a mixed message about how to crawl your site. Basically, the crawlers don’t know which one is the right one. This could be a mobile and desktop version warring with each other, or a duplicate “https” version and a non-”https” version. 4. Conduct on-page technical #seo checks When evaluating your site and the results from your crawl, there are tons of things to check. Don’t get overwhelmed! Start by looking for duplicate pages, headers, title tags, and duplicate content. You can use a tool like copyscape to assess potential technical #seo problemsarising from duplicate content. 5. Manage your internal and external links Sites with logical hierarchies have improved #seo rankings. That’s why it’s important to check your internal and external links—to make sure visitors can navigate your site intuitively. Pages might be deleted or moved, which can result in broken links and annoyed site visitors. Don’t worry; you don’t have to do this manually. Integrity and xenu sleuthcan help you identify your broken links on your site. For more information, visit www.thedigitalmarketinginstitute.org
