Technical SEO Specialist for Site Optimization
Technical SEO Specialist (Webflow) — 2–4 Week Sprint
Goal: Ship a surgical technical SEO pass on our Webflow site so new content can rank cleanly. You’ll audit, fix, and leave us with a playbook we can maintain.
Scope & Deliverables
Phase 1: Audit (Week 1)
Full crawl & indexation audit (GSC + Screaming Frog)
Core Web Vitals analysis (LCP, CLS, INP) with prioritized fixes
Site architecture review (Collections, templates, slugs, pagination, faceted/filtered URLs)
Canonicals, 301s, robots.txt, sitemap.xml, and crawl budget review
Structured data plan (JSON-LD): Organization, Website, Breadcrumb, Article, FAQ (and Product later)
Image & media audit (file naming, alt, WebP, responsive sizes, lazy-load)
Third-party script audit (defer, async, preconnect, critical vs. non-critical)
Duplicate/thin page and parameterized URL sweep
Accessibility & semantics checklist (headings, ARIA basics) that also supports SEO
Phase 2: Implementation (Week 1–3)
Fix/ship high-impact items directly in Webflow:
Enable/validate sitemap.xml and robots.txt rules
Set/verify canonical tags on Collection templates & key pages
Configure 301 redirects in Webflow Redirect Manager; clean 404s
Install JSON-LD via HTML Embeds (scalable pattern for CMS templates)
Media hygiene: compress, set dimensions, lazy-load, replace heavy assets where appropriate
Remove/relocate render-blocking scripts; defer non-critical code; tidy Custom Code areas
Template hygiene: unique Title/H1/Meta/OG fields; noindex utility pages; handle pagination
Set up/QA analytics & monitoring: GA4, GSC, and basic event tracking for core actions (we’ll provide specs)
Phase 3: Handover (Week 3–4)
Before/After report (CWV, indexation, crawl comparisons)
Fixes log with URLs/commits and “how to maintain” notes
Technical SEO Playbook (one-pager) covering: canonicals, redirects, schema policy, image rules, internal link dos/don’ts, publishing checklist
Optional: Monthly health check (2–6 hrs/mo) for regressions and releases
Must-Have Experience
