Frequently asked questions

What is included in technical SEO?

Site speed and Core Web Vitals, mobile-friendliness, crawlability via robots.txt and internal links, indexing control, XML sitemaps, HTTPS security, structured data, and canonical tags, all on a clean site architecture. Together they ensure search engines can access and understand your content.

Why is technical SEO important?

Even the best content cannot rank if search engines cannot crawl, render, or index it. Technical SEO removes those barriers and improves signals like speed and mobile usability that Google rewards. It is the foundation everything else is built on.

What are Core Web Vitals?

Core Web Vitals are Google’s page-experience metrics measuring loading (Largest Contentful Paint), interactivity (Interaction to Next Paint), and visual stability (Cumulative Layout Shift). Passing them signals a fast, stable, user-friendly page and is a confirmed ranking factor.
