SEO basics

Technical SEO

Also known as: technical SEO

Ensuring crawler access, valid URLs, rendering, and other technical foundations of search.

A practical example

Removing an accidental indexing block restores the ability to process the page.

What should I know?

Good infrastructure cannot replace useful offerings and content.

SEO basics in practice

First define the customer's need and the page's purpose. Then check whether the website is accessible, understandable, and useful. Assess results within a defined scope rather than treating one ranking as a picture of the whole business.
