For your website to rank well in search engines, it’s important that they can find and index the content on your site, whilst not encountering technical issues that could be treated as a sign of a low-quality website. This webinar shows you how to check and fix these issues, whilst providing positive signals of a good quality website to search engines (often known as “technical SEO”).
You’ll learn how to use Google Search Console, a crucial tool for understanding how visitors find your website when searching Google and also what pages Google is indexing or not – and if not, why not. The webinar explains the various reasons why pages don’t get indexed and whether they are really an issue, plus how to fix them if you do have issues.
Also covered are ways to stop search engines indexing pages they shouldn’t and why you might need to do so, along with how to implement structured data to enhance your website’s appearance in search results.
