Your organic rankings may be negatively affected if you migrate your site without adequate planning and taking precautions.
In addition to ranking well in search engines, the structure of your website also impacts the visitor's experience.
Duplicate and nearly-duplicate content is frowned upon by search engines. This is a fairly common issue that many sites face, and it harms their search engine rankings.
We will identify and resolve any technical issues that are hindering the ranking of your website in search engine results.
What is a 'clean' URL?
An URL that goes directly to its intended destination is referred to as a clean URL. Google encourages them because they are short, understandable, and easy to comprehend. It is also important to note that relevant keywords should be added to your URL slugs.
What is a Google Algorithm Update?
We said that Google’s algorithm changes all the time, didn’t we? Of course it does. Sometimes these changes are very subtle, and sometimes they are larger, system-wide updates. It is these updates that can cause a panic throughout the SEO community.
You may be familiar with some of the names of the biggest to have impacted SERPS over the years. Google Panda. Google Penguin. Google Hummingbird. RankBrain. Mobilegeddon.
Crazy names, but big updates like these can affect the ranking of your site – sometimes positively, sometimes negatively – in a matter of days.
Technical SEO FAQs
In technical SEO, you make your website and server more search engine friendly so that search engine spiders can crawl and index your site more effectively (to improve organic rankings).
“SEO is like accounting,” said Burr Reedy. “For the complicated stuff, you should hire a professional.”
Search engines are getting better at crawling, indexing and understanding information, but they are not perfect.
In some cases, if searchers are unable to figure out what your website is about or if you have what they want, they will move on.
They crawl the Internet using their own web crawlers, aka search bots, which crawl billions of pages. A search engine navigates the internet by downloading web pages and following links on these pages to find new pages that have been added. The bots are sometimes called spiders, since they practically crawl around a web, following links from one to another.
An index is created from the web pages that they discover and stored in a complex data structure. The index contains all the discovered URLs along with a number of relevant key signals about the content of each URL, such as:
The keywords found within the page’s content – what topics does the page address?
Content crawled (using microdata called Schema) – what is on the page?
What is the freshness of the page – when was it last updated?
Previous engagement of the page and/or domain – how do people interact with the page?
In addition to these factors, there are many others that are taken into consideration when ranking these pages. Google says that they take over 200 different factors into account within their algorithms, although exactly what those factors are is a closely guarded secret.

Algorithms, in general, are detailed instructions on how to perform an operation or solve a problem.
We use algorithms in everyday tasks, such as a recipe for baking a cake or a handbook on how to do it yourself.
Google uses algorithms for presenting search results, and as we have just mentioned, over 200 things are taken into account, so to say that search engine algorithms are complicated is an understatement.
There is one thing you need to know about search engine algorithms: they are not static. They are constantly changing. These complex calculations change as the Internet and the way people use it change. That’s why SEO is such an art form.
Figuring out how to best please these algorithms at all times is complicated even further by the fact that Google and lesser search engines like Bing and Yahoo! are so secretive about what they really are. SEO practitioners will be given warnings and advice, then have to determine the best strategies for themselves.
