Blink SEO

Bundles technical SEO and GEO basics—titles, metadata, sitemaps, structured data—into the publishing workflow so pages are crawlable, indexable, and AI‑friendly.

Many treat launch SEO as a one‑time checklist rather than a continuous process of reviewing Search Console and indexing after publish.

Key points

  • Connect and verify a custom domain with HTTPS enabled before submitting your sitemap.
  • Make every title and meta description unique across pages to avoid duplicate‑content signals.
  • Add appropriate structured data (JSON‑LD) that matches the page type—Organization on homepage, Product on product pages.
  • Allow AI bots in robots.txt and include an LLM summary page for generative‑search visibility.

A missing canonical and a blocked robots.txt

A team launched a new product page on Blink but forgot to set a canonical tag and accidentally blocked the URL in robots.txt. Google indexed a duplicate session‑based URL, and the real page remained uncrawled for three weeks. After adding a canonical pointing to the clean URL and allowing crawl in robots.txt, the page was indexed within 48 hours and appeared for branded search terms within a week.

Three common launch‑time mistakes

  • Blocked robots.txt Submitting a sitemap while robots.txt blocks important pages wastes crawl budget. Always confirm robots.txt allows crawling of key content.
  • Duplicate titles Using the same meta title and description on multiple pages confuses search engines. Each page needs a unique, descriptive title.
  • Missing structured data Skipping JSON‑LD means losing eligibility for rich results. Add Organization schema on the homepage and relevant types on key pages. For custom guidance, consult an seo company norwich.

Three post‑launch monitoring steps

  • Check Coverage reports In Google Search Console, review the Coverage report for errors, warnings, and excluded pages. Fix issues like noindex or canonical conflicts.
  • Monitor URL Inspection Use URL Inspection to see how Google crawls and renders each important page. Request indexing after fixing issues.
  • Review performance data Track impressions and clicks for your key pages in Search Console's Performance report. If they are not appearing, revisit your launch setup to ensure no crawl issues.
