About this event 

To ensure your website ranks well in search engines, it's essential that they can locate and index the content on your site without encountering technical issues that might be perceived as indicators of a low-quality website. This free webinar demonstrates how to identify and resolve these issues, while providing positive signals of a high-quality website to search engines, commonly referred to as "technical SEO".

You will learn how to utilise Google Search Console, an indispensable tool for understanding how visitors discover your website through Google searches, and which pages Google is indexing or not – and if not, the reasons why. We will also explore various reasons why pages may not be indexed, whether these are genuine issues, and how to rectify them if necessary.
