SEO and indexing CatPro
Key technical settings for stable indexing: sitemap, robots, canonical, hreflang, and control via Search Console.
Base: all public pages should open on the main domain, without duplicate URLs.
Mandatory technical elements
- /sitemap.xml contains current public URLs.
- /robots.txt opens content and closes technical sections.
- Canonical is configured on the pages.
- Hreflang tags are set for language versions.
2. Verification via Search Console
- Verify the domain and add a sitemap.
- Check Coverage and scan errors.
- After major updates, send key URLs for revalidation.
3. Pre-indexing checklist
- There are no test or draft pages in the sitemap.
- Canonical and hreflang do not conflict between languages.
- Legal pages are available from the footer.
- Key pages return 200, redirects work as 301.
