Technical and indexation Important pages return a successful response.Check for accidental 4xx/5xx errors, redirect chains and loops. Important pages are crawlable and indexable.Review robots directives, noindex tags and Search Console status. Canonical signals point to the preferred URL.Check canonical tags, redirects and internal link destinations agree. The XML sitemap lists preferred, indexable URLs.Exclude redirected, duplicate, blocked and non-canonical URLs.

Structure and internal links Priority pages have clear paths from relevant pages.Look for orphan pages and important content too deep in the site. Internal links work and describe their destinations.Fix broken links and use natural, descriptive anchor text. Navigation and page hierarchy make sense to people.Group services and topics in a structure visitors can understand. Similar pages have a clear, distinct purpose.Review duplicate category, location and filter pages.

Content and measurement Every priority page serves a clear audience need.Match page content to the task and search intent it is designed for. Titles and headings accurately describe each page.Make page purpose clear; avoid duplicating titles across key URLs. Claims and expert information are accurate and reviewed.Keep facts, service details and author or reviewer information current. Search and enquiry measurement is configured thoughtfully.Use the appropriate analytics and Search Console access for the site.
