What this is

A quick check should reveal whether search engines can crawl and understand your pages.

The next step is prioritization: fix the few items that create outsized results instead of chasing dozens of minor tweaks.

What ExplainMySEO checks

  • Critical crawl/index items (sitemap, robots, canonicals, redirects)
  • Page metadata quality (title length, uniqueness, intent match)
  • Heading structure and content depth signals
  • Internal linking strength to key pages
  • Performance basics (image sizing, heavy scripts, render delays)
Best practice
Focus on the pages that earn impressions and clicks first. Improvements on high-traffic pages compound.

Common issues we see

  • A homepage title that is too generic to rank
  • Duplicate meta descriptions across multiple pages
  • Orphan pages with zero internal links
  • Missing structured data for organization/site context
  • Broken links or redirect chains

How to fix it (practical steps)

  1. Start with a scan and capture the totals by severity
  2. Fix indexing consistency (canonicals + sitemap)
  3. Improve titles/meta on the pages that matter most
  4. Add internal links using descriptive anchors
  5. Expand thin pages with clear sections and FAQs
Implementation order
Start with indexing/crawl issues, then metadata and internal linking, then content depth and enhancements like schema.
