SEO questions we can now answer in bulk with the new @googlesearchc URL Inspection API adoption by SEO crawlers like @screamingfrog & @sitebulb π₯ππ
1. For which pages Google is not using the specified indexability/canonical configuration and what is doing/using instead?
...
...
2. Which ranked pages attracting clicks haven't been crawled lately? Have they been submitted in the XML sitemap?
...
...
3. How are you internally linking to those URLs that Google is finding to be duplicates and not selecting as the canonical to index? When was the last time Google crawled them? Assess not only their indexing status, but internal linking & XML sitemap inclusion too.
...
...
4. Which indexable URLs attracting clicks are triggering mobile usability, rich results or AMP issues/errors?
...
...
Are you concerned hitting the daily API quota too soon? Remember the limits are per property, not domain π€ and you can also do list crawls for those top URLs of each area/category you want to prioritize to rank and assess
...

I have just signed up as a mentor and will share in the next #SEOFOMO too! Please take a look at what @chimammeje shares and let's support BIPOC freelancers from developing countries to help close the existing gap! π
@chimammeje ... as someone who was born/grew up/study in a developing country (Nicaragua) and was lucky & fortunate to have the chance to study and develop my professional career in Spain too, I know well how hard it can be to develop yourself professionally in a developing country...
... and how different it can be when you live/work in a developed one too! There's a huge gap not only in terms of payment but *access* to work, and *how* you're perceived.. just because of where you're based, which is ridiculous. I really expect the popularity of remote work...
I love sharing this Google Sheets resource whenever I'm asked the "Why my Page Doesn't Rank" explaining how I will need to go through all those configurations/areas, as it serve to show how is *not* a one trick thing, how all needs to be aligned and better than competition too!
Questions to ask:
* Is the page Crawlable?
* Is the page Indexable?
* Is the Page Content More Relevant than the Top Ranked Pages for Target Queries?
* Is the Page Content more Helpful/Comprehensive/Authoritative than Top Ranked Pages to Fulfill User Search Needs?

Today's #SEOTip πͺ When someone uses the argument that they don't have time/resources to do X/Y "FOR SEO" (so myopic right? ok, but don't say that π): Show how it's NOT about "SEO" but users experience & company's biz goals, including their own area ones, with data! Here's how:
...
A) If it's an error (eg: Showing 404 HTTP status): Show how many *users* in aggregate access to those pages each month in the last year (Crawl+Google Analytics Data) and can't *BUY* on the site due to that. Do a screen recording of users clicking on links going to...
... those pages showing the *bad* effect in their customer journey. Show also how much traffic and conversions similar "working" pages of those with errors are attracting now, that you're missing to get in the errors ones in aggregate!
