Technical SEO
Technical SEO is the foundation that all other SEO efforts are built on. If search engines can't efficiently crawl and index your site, no amount of content or link building will help. This intermediate course covers the infrastructure side of SEO: crawl budget management, XML sitemap creation and optimization, robots.txt configuration, Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP, CLS), HTTPS migration, site architecture and internal linking strategy, and how to diagnose common technical issues using Google Search Console. You'll learn to think like a search engine crawler and identify the bottlenecks that are silently hurting your rankings. This course bridges the gap between development and marketing teams.
