Technical SEO FAQ · Enterprise Technical SEO, Migrations, Measurement & Leadership
How do you build technical SEO monitoring for a large website?
Automate monitoring of:
- status codes;
- canonical;
- noindex;
- robots;
- sitemap URLs;
- internal links;
- rendering;
- structured data;
- hreflang;
- Core Web Vitals;
- server errors.
Set thresholds based on historical baselines rather than arbitrary numbers.
Example:
IF noindex pages increase > 20%
ALERT SEO
or:
IF canonical mismatch rate increases materially
ALERT SEO + Engineering
Monitoring should detect regressions before they become traffic problems.
