SEO Audit
Performed an SEO audit revealing 1000+ canonical XML sitemap, HTTP errors, duplicated content, thin content, and uncrawled pages. The website’s health score was low (40+), negatively impacting traffic and search rankings.

With our Technical SEO efforts, the page loading time was reduced (4s to 2.2s), and the health score was increased (86), leading to a lower bounce rate (27%).
Canonical issues
We resolved duplicate content using proper canonical tags and implemented 301 redirects, which enabled Google to crawl some important pages.
XML Sitemap Errors
XML sitemap issues were fixed by addressing format, expired URLs, and unreachable URLs.
