Problem
After a failed website migration, the directory lost most of its organic visibility. Key SEO foundations were broken, and pages stopped indexing properly.
Main Issues:
- Broken URLs and 404 errors post-migration
- Unindexed accountant profiles and blogs
- Missing structured data and schema markup
- Poor Core Web Vitals and low page speed
- No pagination, limiting crawl depth
- Weak local SEO visibility for accountant listings

- Fixed 404s and crawl errors through sitemap and robots.txt optimization

2. Structured SEO Enhancements

- Optimized content hierarchy on category pages
3. Content & Indexing
- Created new indexable landing pages for accountant locations
- Added LSI and long-tail keywords for semantic targeting
4. Local SEO Strategy
- Targeted “local seo business” and “accountant seo” keywords

5. B2B SEO Strategy
