What does technical SEO cover?
Technical SEO usually means getting these right:
| Item | What it does |
|---|---|
| Sitemap | Lists every page for search engines |
| robots.txt | Tells crawlers what they may visit |
| Canonical address | Names one address for each page |
| Redirects | Send old addresses to new ones |
| Structured data | Describes the business in code |
| Speed and mobile layout | Let pages load fast and read well on a phone |
| HTTPS | Encrypts the connection between visitor and site |
How is it different from other SEO?
Search engine optimization has three broad parts:
- Technical SEO makes pages readable by machines.
- On-page SEO is the words, titles and headings.
- Off-page SEO is what other sites say about you and link to.
Technical problems can stop good content from being found at all, so technical SEO is usually fixed first. Most of them are invisible to visitors and show up only in tools like Google Search Console.
Is technical SEO enough on its own?
Technical SEO is the foundation, not the whole job. It removes the reasons a search engine might skip or misread a page. Whether a page shows up for a search still depends on its content, on other sites, and on the search engine itself. Pages that answer real questions, and other sites that mention the business, do the rest.
What does reddysite build in?
Every reddysite site ships with the technical basics: a sitemap rebuilt each time the site changes, one canonical address per page, a title and description on every page, business markup, and fast static pages. How reddysite builds for search and AI lists each one. What schema markup is and what a 301 redirect does go deeper on two of them.
