Technical SEO Checklist for Business Websites

The Complete Technical SEO Audit Checklist

Technical SEO ensures search engines can crawl, parse, render, and index your website efficiently. Here is the technical checklist SR Tech Studio executes for clients:

1. Crawl Access (`robots.txt`): Verify that key commercial service pages are allowed and link cleanly to `sitemap.xml`.
2. Clean XML Sitemap: Maintain a clean XML sitemap listing only canonical 200-OK indexable URLs (no 404s or redirects).
3. Canonical URL Hygiene: Enforce single canonical URLs for trailing slash consistency (`/services/seo-services/`).
4. Core Web Vitals & Speed: Optimize LCP (under 2.5s), CLS (under 0.1), and INP performance.
5. Structured Data Schema: Add JSON-LD schema (`Organization`, `Service`, `BreadcrumbList`, `FAQPage`).
6. Mobile Usability: Ensure responsive layouts, legible font sizes, and accessible touch target spacing.
