Crawl controls
Check that important public pages are not accidentally blocked and that crawl instructions match the site's intended access.
Website Development
Make the site easier to understand.
Technical foundations help people and search crawlers reach important public pages and interpret their signals. A scoped review can find crawl blocks, error responses, URL inconsistencies and sitemap gaps. Search platforms decide what they crawl, index and show.
Sound foundations. Clear decisions.

A defined technical review
Check the paths search crawlers and visitors use.
The exact URLs, tools, depth and implementation work are agreed in the proposal. A review reports observations and priorities; it does not guarantee indexing, rankings, traffic or business outcomes.
Page status and redirects
Review whether included URLs load the intended page and whether redirects or errors need attention.
Canonicals and duplicates
Check canonical tags and internal links for consistency. Search engines use signals to choose the canonical URL and may choose differently.
Links and sitemap
Check crawlable internal links and confirm the XML sitemap lists the intended live URLs. A sitemap helps discovery but does not ensure indexing.
Page information
Review page titles, descriptions and content structure for clarity. Search engines may generate different titles or snippets for results.
Mobile and performance
Review agreed pages at relevant screen sizes. Use real-user performance data only when it is available and within scope.
From evidence to action
Prioritize what can actually be changed.
Access to analytics or search tools is optional and must be provided by the site owner through an approved account. No credentials are needed for a public-page review.
Choose
Agree the site goal, pages, environments and technical questions included.
Inspect
Record the visible page and URL signals, tools used, access and review limits.
Prioritize
Separate confirmed issues from hypotheses and order actions by relevance and effort.
Agree fixes
Set an implementation scope separately, with owner access and approvals defined.
Recheck
Verify the agreed changes. Search engines control when they recrawl or update results.
Know the limits
Technical eligibility is not a search guarantee.
Google's documented minimums include crawler access, a successful page response and indexable content. Meeting requirements does not guarantee a page will be crawled or indexed. A sitemap is a hint to crawlers, not a ranking boost.
Robots.txt is not privacy
Robots rules manage crawler access. They are not a way to protect confidential content or reliably keep a URL out of search results.
Signals are considered
A canonical annotation helps indicate a preferred URL. Search platforms make the final selection from the signals they find.
Platforms decide
Crawl timing, indexing, displayed snippets and rankings are controlled by each search platform and are not guaranteed by this service.
