What is Technical SEO?
Technical SEO differs from keywords and content (on-page SEO), as well as from link building and content marketing (off-page SEO). These other forms of search engine optimization are more easily visible to the end user.
Technical SEO is comprised of the stuff most people don’t see, like rel = “canonical” tags, robots.txt files, HTTP response headers, JavaScript rendering, JSON-LD scripts, Schema markup and strategic site architecture.
Some Technical SEO Areas We’ve Worked On
