Common Issues and Fixesv
Missing LLMs.txt

A file that tells AI crawlers how to access your content. Create an llms.txt file in your root directory with information about your site structure and content.

Missing or Invalid Sitemap

A file that helps search engines discover all your pages. Generate a sitemap.xml file and submit it to Google Search Console.

Invalid JSON-LD Schema

Structured data that helps search engines understand your content type. Validate your schema using Google Rich Results Test and fix any syntax errors or missing required fields.

Robots.txt Blocking Crawlers

Your robots.txt may be preventing search engines from accessing important pages. Review the file and ensure you are not blocking pages you want indexed.

SSL Certificate Issues

Your site may have an expired, misconfigured, or missing SSL certificate. Ensure HTTPS is enabled and the certificate is valid. Mixed content warnings should also be resolved.

Meta Title Issues

Titles may be too long, too short, duplicated across pages, or not relevant to page content. Keep titles between 50 and 60 characters, make each page title unique, and include your primary keyword naturally.

Meta Description Issues

Descriptions may be missing, duplicated, too long, or not compelling. Write unique descriptions between 120 and 160 characters for each page. Include relevant keywords and a clear value proposition to improve click-through rates.

Broken Links

Links that return 404 errors or do not work. Update or remove broken links and use redirects for content that has moved.

Missing Alt Text

Images without descriptive alt attributes hurt accessibility and SEO. Add descriptive alt text to all images that explains what the image shows.

Slow Page Speed

Pages that take too long to load negatively impact user experience and rankings. Optimize images, enable browser caching, minimize JavaScript, and consider using a CDN.

Large Image Files

Images that are not optimized slow down your pages. Compress images, use modern formats like WebP, and serve appropriately sized images for different devices.

Missing Canonical Tags

Without canonical tags, search engines may index duplicate versions of your pages. Add canonical tags to specify the preferred URL for each page.

Best Practicesv
  • Fix critical issues immediately. Do not let them accumulate.

  • Document your fixes. Track what you have changed and when.

  • Monitor trends. Watch for recurring issues that may indicate deeper problems.

  • Test after fixes. Verify improvements by running a new audit.

  • Prioritize user experience. Many technical SEO fixes also improve how visitors experience your site.
