Following this, we will optimize your page titles, meta descriptions and meta keywords. We will also take a look to make sure the search engines can index your content, no pages are being blocked, all links are being followed, and everything on the backend is overall in top-notch condition for search engine indexing. We also look at advanced strategies such as Schema.org, images, videos, sitemaps, robots.txt and more. Finally, we ensure that the website abides by Google’s Quality Guidelines.
