Technical SEO is the foundation everything else is built on. You can have the best content and the most backlinks, but if your website has technical problems, Google can't properly crawl, index, or rank your pages. Here are the 15 technical issues we find most often on Miami business websites.
1. Not submitted to Google Search Console — You can't fix what you can't see. Set up GSC immediately.
2. No XML sitemap — Helps Google discover and index all your pages.
3. Slow page speed — Under 3 seconds on mobile is the target. Most fail.
4. Not mobile-friendly — Google indexes the mobile version of your site.
5. Duplicate content — Multiple pages with the same or very similar content confuse Google about which to rank.
6. Missing canonical tags — Without these, www and non-www versions of your site may compete against each other.
7. Broken links (404 errors) — Waste Google's crawl budget and frustrate users.
8. Missing or duplicate meta titles/descriptions — Every page needs a unique, keyword-optimized title and description.
9. Images without alt text — Alt text helps Google understand images and is critical for accessibility.
10. No HTTPS — Insecure sites are penalized and display scary warnings to visitors.
11. Thin pages with little content — Pages with under 300 words rarely rank well.
12. Missing schema markup — Structured data helps Google understand your business, location, reviews, and services.
13. Poor internal linking — Strategic internal links help Google understand your site structure and pass authority between pages.
14. Orphaned pages — Pages that no other page links to are rarely discovered or indexed.
15. Core Web Vitals failures — LCP, FID, and CLS all affect your Google rankings.
