Overview

This skill provides an authoritative, practical guide to optimizing websites for Google Search using official Google documentation. It covers crawling, indexing, structured data, Search Console, mobile-first indexing, and common SEO pitfalls. The content is organized for beginners, developers, and SEO specialists to quickly find actionable guidance.

How this skill works

The skill inspects common SEO topics and offers targeted recommendations, code examples, and checklists drawn from official Google guidance. It explains the crawl → index → serve flow, shows structured data patterns (VideoObject, BroadcastEvent, Clip), and surfaces Search Console workflows for monitoring and debugging. Examples include meta tags, robots rules, hreflang patterns, and JavaScript SEO fixes.

When to use it

When you need to diagnose crawling or indexing issues and fix them quickly
When implementing structured data for videos, live streams, or key moments
When preparing a mobile-first or multi-language site (hreflang) for Google
When setting up or interpreting Google Search Console reports and APIs
When planning site migrations, redirects, or canonicalization strategies

Best practices

Ensure mobile and desktop versions present the same critical content and structured data
Use canonical tags to resolve duplicate content and consistent URL versions
Prefer crawlable HTML links; avoid navigation implemented solely with onclick/routerLink
Validate structured data with examples (VideoObject, BroadcastEvent, Clip) and keep timestamps accurate
Monitor Search Console regularly for crawl errors, indexing status, and performance trends

Example use cases

Adding VideoObject JSON-LD to help videos appear with rich metadata in search results
Configuring BroadcastEvent to enable a LIVE badge for livestreams
Fixing a sitewide noindex or blocked resource that prevents indexing
Implementing hreflang for a multilingual site with separate mobile URLs
Running a migration checklist: redirects, canonical updates, and Search Console monitoring

FAQ

Yes. For mobile-first indexing, keep structured data consistent on both versions so Google understands the same content.

How do I make sure Google can crawl my site?

Use standard anchor links, avoid blocking key resources in robots.txt, and monitor crawl stats in Search Console to identify issues.
