Q2 What should I fix first in a technical SEO audit Crawl blockers first: broken link errors, redirect chains, wrong canonicals, accidental noindex, and robots.txt issues. Q3 How do I crawl my site for SEO issues Run a Screaming Frog crawl and review problem URLs for errors, duplicates, missing meta, and messy site structure. Q4 What should I look for in title tags and meta descriptions Unique, clear titles and meta that match intent and include the main keyword naturally, so CTR improves in the search engine results. Q5 How do I check sitemap and indexing in Google Search Console Submit the sitemap, then check index coverage and exclusions to make sure important pages are getting indexed. Q6 How do I check page speed and load times properly Use GTmetrix or Pingdom and focus on heavy images, scripts, and Core Web Vitals style issues that hurt user experience. Q7 How do I find and fix duplicate content Use your crawl to spot duplicates, choose the best page, then clean up internal links and use redirects or canonicals where needed. Q8 Do backlinks matter in a beginner SEO audit Yes, but fix crawl and on-page issues first so your backlink profile actually helps instead of getting wasted. 📞 Need help getting your marketing off the ground?
