What is Technical SEO?

The " Technical SEO" short for Search Engine Optimization technique" refers to all the methods and practices used to improve the visibility and ranking of a website on search engines such as Google, Bing and Yahoo.

Technical SEO focuses mainly on the technical aspects of the website, such as

Optimising these technical aspects can help to improve a website's position in organic search results, which can lead to an increase in organic traffic and, potentially, greater online visibility.
