Sometimes technical analysis to improve a site’s performance is all about sifting through a lot of data and doing a bit of detective work.
We may have to look at data page-by-page to find that one nugget to improve performance. We use a variety of third-party tools to pull site data.
We use first-party tools like Google Search Console and third-party tools like Ahrefs. We also do a lot of statistical and trends analysis on your site.
Hedges & Company sifts through data, and creates human-generated content to improve your organic rankings.
Human-generated content lets prevent technical errors (AI still gets technical things wrong!), and other things that are important for automotive content marketing.
But, we love AI, use it all day long, and we also know how to optimize for AI search!
Effective SEO strategies include looking “behind the curtain” at site code and site structure.
This is part of our technical SEO and helps us find ways to improve site function, schema or structured data, navigation, user experience (UX) and core web vitals.
SEO requires you to look at what search engines crawl, not just what people see. This includes schema.
