Here are some technical SEO quick wins 🧵
1/ Check indexing
Make sure pages you want people to find can be indexed in Google.
You can check the Indexability report in Site Audit to find pages that can’t be indexed and the reasons why. It’s free in Ahrefs Webmaster Tools ➡️ ahrefs.com/webmaster-tools
2/ Reclaim lost links
Websites tend to change their URLs over the years. These old URLs usually have links from other websites. If they're not redirected, those links are lost & no longer count for your pages.
You'll want to 301 redirect any old URLs to their current location.
