Ecommerce Technical SEO
Once we’ve optimized all of your category pages, product pages, and other landing pages, cleaned up your content, and established a general strategy, the next step is implementing technical SEO updates.
Technical SEO is ultimately everything that happens “under the hood”, or within the code and the server. Most of the changes we’ll make in this phase will be undetectable to humans, but will make a world of difference to search engine spiders.
When approaching technical SEO, we look at a whole lot more than meta data. We analyze a wide range of signals including your schema data, breadcrumbs, internal linking, orphan pages, response times and codes, orphan pages, image optimization, markup optimization and so much more. Ultimately, we’re looking to achieve a few things:
- We want to make it easier for search engine spiders to find and index your most valuable pages
- We want to make it easier for search engine spiders to understand and index your information and products
- We want to make your products and content faster and more accessible to your users
- We want to make your website faster, more usable, and more accessible for users, which makes search engines happy
