Technical SEO

From crawl chaos to clean indexing

Fixed duplicate pages, redirect chains and a broken sitemap across 40,000 URLs.

01

The challenge

The store had grown for years without a plan. Google had found three times more URLs than real pages, and new products took weeks to show up in search.

  • Filter and sort pages created thousands of duplicates
  • Old category pages redirected in long chains
  • The sitemap listed pages that no longer existed
02

The approach

We ranked every fix by impact and effort, then worked top-down — technical cleanup first, content second, automation throughout.

  • Canonical tags and parameter rules in shared templates
  • Redirect chains flattened to a single hop
  • Thin category pages merged and rewritten
03

The results

Within six months the index matched the real site, new products appeared in days, and organic visits grew steadily month over month.

  • Cleaner index and faster discovery
  • Stronger category pages ranking for core terms
  • A monthly report the whole team could read
