For someone performing their first technical SEO audit, the results can be both overwhelming and intimidating. Often, you can\u2019t see the wood for the trees and have no idea how to fix things or where to even begin.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

After years of working with clients, especially as the head of tech SEO for a U.K. agency, I\u2019ve found technical SEO audits to be a near-daily occurrence. With that, I know how important it is, especially for newer SEOs, to understand what each issue is and why it is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
