If you have been interested in optimizing your website you may have come across the term technical SEO, but what is it really?. Technical SEO is one element in successfully optimizing a website for search engines. Technical SEO factors cover how search engines (like Google) access your website and if there are any technical barriers to ranking with the search engines.
Your SEO’s Foundation
Technical SEO can be compared to the foundation of a house, it should be completed before any other optimization is done on your website. It is unlikely that technical SEO work alone will result in significant rankings increases but it is a precursor to additional optimization. Technical SEO elements include:
- proper redirect usage
- proper robots.txt and rel canonical usage
- URL structure
- sitemap structure
- correct meta data usage
- SSL
- site speed
- and many other similar elements.
These elements essentially tell search engines how to read your website and what it should be ranked for. Without a proper foundation everything else begins to break down, without proper technical SEO all of your other site optimization isn’t as effective. For your site to have a successful SEO strategy you first need to ensure that it is appearing properly to search engines and, that it is telling search engines what it should be ranking for.
Without proper technical SEO implementation even amazing content might not attract the attention of search engines.
