For most businesses, the most important item listed is title tags.<\/p>\n<h3>Title tags<\/h3>\n<p>Title tags can have a massive impact on SEO. And for the most part, they are easy to fix.<\/p>\n<p>All the others can have a tremendous impact depending on your website and its needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seocompanies.io.local\/learn\/title-tags\/\">Learn more about title tags<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"learn\">\n<h3>Meta descriptions<\/h3>\n<p>Meta descriptions don&#8217;t directly impact rankings but they can encourage users to click. They display below title tags and URLs on the search engine results page.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/seocompanies.io.local\/learn\/meta-descriptions\/\">Learn more about meta descriptions<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>XML sitemaps<\/h3>\n<p>Sitemaps are a directory of your content. They help search engines evaluate your website. Websites on common platforms don&#8217;t need to worry too much about sitemaps. But they become much more important on big websites with vast amounts of content and pages.<\/p>\n<h3>Canonical tags<\/h3>\n<p>According to Moz, canonical tags tell search engines which page is the &#8220;master copy of a page.&#8221; This is important when you have multiple URLs that deliver very similar or the same content.<\/p>\n<h3>URL redirects<\/h3>\n<p>Moving a page? Implement a redirect from the old page to the new page so that search engines and users who have indexed\/bookmarked the old page are sent directly to the new URL.<\/p>\n<h3>Site speed<\/h3>\n<p>An elaborate, complex topic, site speed affects SEO but delves much deeper into web development than most SEOs do.<\/p>\n<p>Site speed does, however, factor into rankings. Search engines and people like quick websites. If you can speed up your site easily, by all means, do it.<\/p>\n<p>One relatively simple way to speed up websites is to optimize images. Don&#8217;t upload massive images that slow down your site. Some platforms (like Squarespace) automatically optimize images for site speed. Some do not.<\/p>\n<h2>Wrapping up<\/h2>\n<p>Technical SEO is a catch all for all the various SEO tasks that sound technical.<\/p>\n<p>Title tags are the big one.<\/p>\n<p>All the other items can have massive implications but they apply to a smaller category of websites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Technical SEO What is technical SEO?
