Nofollow internal links rarely appear on purpose. A theme adds rel=”nofollow” to a footer block, a plugin marks every “related products” link or an old SEO rule survives several redesigns. The result is the same: pages you want to rank get links that pass no credit, and some of them get no followed links at […]
Most agencies already own the data for a technical SEO client dashboard. The trouble is that it lives in reports built for the SEO team, full of status codes, crawl depth charts and filters that make sense only to the person who set them up. Send that to a client, and the call turns into […]
Your phone traffic and your phone revenue do not match, and the gap is bigger than most teams think. Across 1.5 billion shoppers, Salesforce measured mobile at 79% of eCommerce traffic and about 70% of orders. Contentsquare puts the same thing in conversion terms: in retail, mobile converts at 2.0% against 3.7% on desktop. Some […]
Two Shopify stores in unrelated categories, different themes, different agencies, and the crawl comes back with the same eight problems. That repetition is the useful part of Shopify eCommerce SEO. The platform is hosted and templated, so the issues arrive pre-installed rather than accumulating over years of bad decisions: fixed URL prefixes, collection-scoped product URLs, […]
You built a page for every store, every pickup point and every city you deliver to. Six months later half of them are not in the index, the other half rank for each other’s queries, and nobody on the team can explain which page Google actually decided to show. That is the most common failure […]
SEO for marketplaces is not single-store ecommerce SEO at a larger scale. It is a different discipline, and the reason is structural. Marketplaces now carry the majority of online retail: Euromonitor reports that online marketplaces achieved 62% of global retail e-commerce sales in 2024, reaching USD 2.4 trillion. That scale comes with a constraint no […]
Ecommerce pagination SEO produces more internal tickets than almost any other technical topic, and most of them open the same way. Page 2 of a category is not ranking, and somebody wants it fixed. Settle one thing before you touch a canonical tag. Page 2 not ranking is the expected outcome. Nobody searches for page […]
The tools your agency pays for every month should earn their seat at the table. The problem is most SEO stacks grow by accident; one subscription added for a pitch, another inherited from a previous team lead, a third because a client asked about backlinks once. The inevitable situation looks like this: bloated tooling costs, […]
It started with a Slack message. Our colleague Stan sent a screenshot with a single line: “Look, I think I found fan-outs in GSC.” The first reaction was skeptical: we hear about the AI revolution every day. But the data looked different. It wasn’t a few random long-tail keywords. It was a pattern, repeating across […]

This guide covers the most important SEO metrics to measure in 2026, from foundational traffic and ranking data to advanced technical signals like crawl behavior, Core Web Vitals and […]
When it comes to SEO, it is dangerously easy to drown in data. Technical audits, keyword rankings, backlink counts, crawl stats – the list never ends. But data alone does not grow a business. That is where SEO KPIs come in. SEO KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) are the select few metrics that connect your organic […]
Rankings and traffic are no longer the starting point. Theyāre the outcome of decisions made before a user ever reaches the SERP. AI-driven systems now determine what information gets surfaced, which version is relevant for each market and how identical keywords map to entirely different intent depending on context. That shift fundamentally rewrites how you […]
“Do I need canonical tags on every page of my site?” It’s one of the most common questions in technical SEO and the answer is more nuanced than a simple yes or no. Most sites have more duplication than they realize. Filtered category pages are a classic example: you set up robots.txt rules, point canonicals […]
If you use dynamic or client-side rendering, make sure Googlebot sees the correct HTML and content. With dynamic rendering, the pre-rendered version is served only to search engine bots, not to regular visitors. There are also cases where the page version for Googlebot differs slightly from the user version. For example, you can show users […]

This article is based on the second part of the JetOctopus AI webinar series. You can read part one here. AI visibility is no longer about rankings. It is increasingly about probability – the likelihood that an AI system will select, reference or paraphrase your content when responding to a user query. For SEO specialists […]

A single mistake during migration can: If youāve never done a site migration before, this checklist exists to answer one simple question:What exactly do I need to do to migrate a site without losing traffic?

A domain migration gone wrong. Thousands of pages flagged with 404 errors overnight. All indexed articles suddenly returning are linked through a 301 redirection. This is the everyday reality of managing SEO redirects across complex, fast-moving websites. Whether you’re handling a platform migration, restructuring URLs after a rebrand or consolidating domains following the m&a, if […]
Pull your server logs for the last seven days and sort the user agents by volume. Between Googlebot and the scrapers you already know you will find GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and a few names that mean nothing to you. Most of them never appear in your analytics, because they do not run your tracking script, […]
How Search Works in 2026 Search has fundamentally changed. In 2025, visibility is no longer determined only by Google. Websites are now discovered, evaluated, and surfaced by: Modern SEO requires understanding how all these systems access your site and ensuring that your content is discoverable for both search engines and AI models.Logs have become the […]
