Technical SEO
Technical SEO makes useful content retrievable and interpretable. A page can be crawlable but not indexed, indexed but irrelevant, or visually correct while returning the wrong signals. Evidence needs to identify which layer actually failed.
Questions to investigate
- Can the relevant crawler retrieve the intended response?
- Do canonicals and indexing controls match the intended URL?
- Did the first loss coincide with a release or access change?
A practical sequence
- Inspect the live response, headers and rendered content.
- Test the exact crawler path and indexing controls.
- Compare sitemap and canonical destinations with the inventory.
- Correlate release evidence with Search Console observations.
