SEO starts with pages people and crawlers can access and understand. Get the technical basics and editorial responsibility right before you spend time on keywords or links.
Check these before publishing
- Important pages are public and do not hide essential content behind login or interaction.
- Every page has a distinct, accurate title, description, and H1.
- The sitemap contains only formal pages you want indexed.
- Localized pages use correct canonical and language relationships.
- Images have descriptive alt text and do not contain the only essential information.
- Articles state their editorial responsibility, sources, and update date.
Do not fill the site with pages made for search
AI can help with research or an outline. It cannot replace experience, fact checking, or editorial judgment. If a local page, translation, or question page has no independent use, leave it unpublished.
