Site Errors & SEO

Multi-Vendor

Hello fellow cart’ers!
I’m hoping for some guidance here because I’m at a complete loss right now.

I’ve requested a crawl from Google and without fail I have issues with the site. I don’t feel the “issues” are very forward so I have no idea how to proceed.
I decided to have my site audited by an SEO business - and the results were staggering. By the sounds of it my site is 98% errors! Of course, I don’t know what those errors are or how to fix them. And their price tag to fix anything is much more than I’m willing to spend.

I just want my site indexed on Google, I don’t require top rank or any of that. It’s hard for me to know what to do without knowing what to do.
Any insight, or advise would be great!
Thanks in advance.

Hello!

Don’t fall into the trap of SEO scammers. There are a lot of them these days. First of all, use the Google Search Console Tools, upload your store’s sitemap.xml and once crawled, check what recommendations it gives. If there is anything difficult to understand, you can ask for clarification here on the forums.

Beside Google Search Console I’ll recommend some more free tools that will help you to understand you traffic and help you fix technical and content issue:

  • Google Tag Manager → will help you to add easily other 3rd party tools to website
  • Google Analytics → will help you to check traffic
  • Microsoft Clarity → will help you to see how visitors are interacting with your website by having access to recordings and heatmaps
  • Ahrefs → will provide a free SEO report and you can see what you need to fix

Thank you for your response. I did just that some time ago - I’m not sure how to go about the results. Is there a specific area on the forums to inquire about things like this?

Thanks for your guidance!! I checked out Ahrefs this afternoon and I’ll have to learn more about it - I can’t see where to find out what needs to be fixed.
I just don’t know what is considered an error on pages; all I know is I apparently have a ton of them!

I am afraid, there is no specific topic on this forum. You can post your questions right here in this topic. There is always a chance, that there will be someone that will be able to help you :slight_smile:
