***************************************
Technical SEO is the process of optimizing your website to help search engines find, understand, and index your pages.

Technical SEO is important because if search engines can’t properly access, read, understand, or index your pages, then you won’t rank or even be found for that matter.

To avoid technical SEO mistakes like removing yourself from Google’s index, there are five things you should understand:

► Noindex meta tag
► Robots.txt
► Sitemaps
► Redirects
► Canonical tags

These are the foundational things that are good to know when it comes to indexing. You’ll learn what each thing is, why they’re important and how to get it done right.

5:12 Redirects
5:50 Canonical tag

  1. Hi Sam,
    great content as usual, although I have one question as a beginner do I have to learn Html or wordpress in order to learn SEO?
    & I know it is too much to ask but If you can make a video of PRACTICALLY doing all these things that would be great.

  2. 03:18 The explanation around crawlability stood out because technical fixes often deliver gains before new content does. In a recent audit, our team at Grow More Gaze saw indexing issues suppressing pages that already matched search intent. That observation reinforced how foundational technical SEO is for sustainable visibility. #TechnicalSEO
