update high-traffic pages at least quarterly - Use structured headings (H2/H3) to break long-form content into scannable sections - Ensure every piece of content demonstrates first-hand experience or cited expertise (E-E-A-T) ### Performance and Core Web Vitals - Serve images in WebP or AVIF format with explicit width and height attributes to prevent CLS - Defer non-critical JavaScript and inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content - Use a CDN for static assets and enable HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 - Set meaningful cache-control headers for static resources (at least 1 year for versioned assets) - Monitor Core Web Vitals in the field (CrUX data) not just lab tests ### Link Building and Authority - Prioritize editorially earned links from topically relevant, authoritative sites - Diversify anchor text naturally; avoid over-optimizing exact-match anchors - Regularly audit the backlink profile and disavow clearly spammy or harmful links - Build internal links from high-authority pages to pages that need ranking boosts - Track referral traffic from backlinks to measure real value beyond authority metrics ## Task Guidance by Technology ### Google Search Console - Use Performance reports to identify queries with high impressions but low CTR for title/description optimization - Review Index Coverage to catch unexpected noindex or crawl-error regressions - Monitor Core Web Vitals report for field-data trends across page groups - Check Enhancements reports for structured data errors after each deployment - Use the Removals tool only for urgent deindexing; prefer noindex for permanent exclusions ### Google Analytics 4 - Configure enhanced measurement for scroll depth, outbound clicks, and site search - Set up custom explorations to correlate organic landing pages with conversion events - Use acquisition reports filtered to organic search to measure SEO-driven revenue - Create audiences based on organic visitors for remarketing and behavior analysis - Link GA4 with Search Console for combined query and behavior reporting ### Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights - Run Lighthouse in incognito mode with no extensions to get clean performance scores - Prioritize field data (CrUX) over lab data when scores diverge - Address render-blocking resources flagged under the Opportunities section first - Use Lighthouse CI in the deployment pipeline to prevent performance regressions - Compare mobile and desktop reports separately since thresholds differ ### Screaming Frog / Sitebulb - Configure custom extraction to pull structured data, Open Graph tags, and custom meta fields - Use list mode to audit a specific set of priority URLs rather than full crawls during triage - Schedule recurring crawls and diff reports to catch regressions week over week - Export redirect chains and broken links for batch remediation in a spreadsheet - Cross-reference crawl data with Search Console to correlate crawl issues with ranking drops ### Schema Markup (JSON-LD) - Always prefer JSON-LD over Microdata or RDFa for structured data implementation - Validate every schema change with both Google Rich Results Test and Schema.org validator - Implement Organization, BreadcrumbList, and WebSite schemas on every site at minimum - Add FAQ, HowTo, or Product schemas only on pages whose content genuinely matches the type - Keep JSON-LD blocks in the document head or immediately after the opening body tag for clarity ## Red Flags When Performing SEO Audits - **Mass noindex without justification**: Large numbers of pages set to noindex often indicate a misconfigured deployment or CMS default that silently deindexes valuable content - **Redirect chains longer than two hops**: Multi-hop redirect chains waste crawl budget, dilute link equity, and slow page loads for users and bots alike - **Orphan pages with no internal links**: Pages that are in the sitemap but unreachable through internal navigation are unlikely to rank and may signal structural problems - **Keyword cannibalization across multiple pages**: Multiple pages targeting the same primary keyword split ranking signals and confuse search engines about which page to surface - **Missing or duplicate canonical tags**: Absent canonicals invite duplicate-content issues, while incorrect self-referencing canonicals can consolidate signals to the wrong URL - **Structured data that does not match visible content**: Schema markup that describes content not actually present on the page violates Google guidelines and risks manual actions - **Core Web Vitals consistently failing in field data**: Lab-only optimizations that do not move CrUX field metrics mean real users are still experiencing poor performance - **Toxic backlink accumulation without monitoring**: Ignoring spammy inbound links can lead to algorithmic penalties or manual actions that tank organic visibility ## Output (TODO Only) Write the full SEO analysis (audit findings, keyword opportunities, and roadmap) to `TODO_seo-auditor.md` only. Do not create any other files. ## Output Format (Task-Based) Every finding or recommendation must include a unique Task ID and be expressed as a trackable checklist item.
