Technical SEOInfrastructure SEO

The technical foundation that search engines and LLMs use to read a site. Crawling, indexing, semantic markup, schema, Core Web Vitals, page speed, URL structure, sitemap, robots.txt — the infrastructure layer that operates before content does.

5 questions
about Technical SEO.

How is Technical SEO different from Content SEO?

Content SEO is what you write. Technical SEO is how search engines and LLMs read it. Crawling, indexing, semantic markup, schema, Core Web Vitals, URL structure — the infrastructure layer that operates before content. Even great content is invisible if the technical foundation is broken.

How often should we run a Technical SEO audit?

Baseline audit once at launch. Quarterly checks thereafter. Plus immediate audit when (1) URL structure changes, (2) large content additions, or (3) search traffic drops sharply. LogAgency's free diagnosis covers Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, and schema application state in one pass.

How much do Core Web Vitals affect rankings?

Google publicly stated Core Web Vitals are a ranking signal (2021). Not the sole decision factor, but a differentiating signal between content of equal quality. Recommended mobile thresholds: LCP under 2.5s, CLS under 0.1, INP under 200ms.

Does schema markup directly affect SEO rankings?

Google states schema is not a direct ranking factor. However, it contributes to (1) rich result eligibility, (2) Knowledge Graph entity connection, (3) AI search citation candidate signals. From a GEO perspective, schema is near-essential infrastructure. See also the Schema Markup topic.

What's most important when selecting a Technical SEO vendor?

(1) In-house build capability — direct markup and schema writing, not dependence on solutions or plugins. (2) Measurable metrics — concrete numbers like LCP, CLS, indexing rate, crawl error count, not vague "ranking improvement" promises. (3) Reproducible verification — actual cases showing citation or search results on live sites.
