The SEO checklist we use on every new site

A short, prioritised checklist covering technical health, content and links.

Before publishing a single new page, we run through this list. It keeps effort focused on what actually moves rankings.

Technical health

  • Pages are crawlable and indexable (robots.txt, sitemap, canonical tags).
  • Site loads fast on mobile; images are compressed and sized correctly.
  • HTTPS everywhere, with no broken links or redirect chains.

On-page

  • One clear primary keyword per page, used in the title, H1 and opening paragraph.
  • Unique meta titles and descriptions written to earn the click.
  • Descriptive internal links between related pages.

Content

  • Pages answer the real question behind the search.
  • Content is refreshed when facts or rankings change.

Authority

  • Earn links through useful resources, partnerships and PR rather than shortcuts.
  • Keep your business details consistent across directories.
