If your site is on Google and you’re familiar with the fundamentals of SEO<\/a>, there are more
\n things you can do to improve how your site appears on Google. As you manage and maintain your
\n website, you may come across more unique scenarios that affect Google Search. This guide covers
\n more in-depth SEO tasks, such as preparing for a site move or managing a multi-lingual site.<\/p>\n

Control how Google crawls and indexes your site<\/h2>\n

Read our guide to understand how Google Search works<\/a>;
\n if you don’t understand the crawl\/index\/serving pipeline well, it
\n will be difficult to debug issues or anticipate Search behavior on your site.<\/p>\n

\n Duplicate content
\n <\/h3>\n

\n Be sure that you understand what
\n canonical pages are<\/a>,
\n and how they affect crawling and indexing of your site.\n <\/p>\n

\n Resurslar
\n <\/h3>\n

Be sure that any resources (images, CSS files, and so on) or pages that Google is meant to
\n crawl are accessible to Google; that is, they are not blocked by any robots.txt rules and are
\n accessible to an anonymous user. Inaccessible pages will not appear in the
\n Page Indexing report<\/a>,
\n and the URL Inspection tool<\/a>
\n will show them as not crawled. Blocked resources are shown only at the
\n individual URL level, in the URL Inspection tool. If important resources on a page are blocked,
\n this can prevent Google from crawling your page properly. Use the URL Inspection tool to render
\n the live page to verify whether Google sees the page as you expect.<\/p>\n

\n Robots.txt
\n <\/h3>\n

Use robots.txt rules to prevent crawling, and sitemaps to encourage crawling. Block crawling
\n of duplicate content on your site, or unimportant resources (such as small, frequently used
\n graphics such as icons or logos) that might overload your server with requests. Don’t use
\n robots.txt as a mechanism to prevent indexing; use the noindex<\/code> tag or login
\n requirements for that. Read more about blocking access to your content.<\/a><\/p>\n

Sitemaps<\/h3>\n

Sitemaps are a very important way to tell Google which pages are important to your site, and
\n also provide additional information (such as update frequency), and are very important for
\n crawling non-textual content (such as images or video). Although Google won’t limit crawling
\n to pages listed in your sitemaps, it will prioritize crawling these pages. This is especially
\n important for sites with rapidly changing content, or with pages that might not be discovered
\n through links. Using sitemaps helps Google discover and prioritize which pages to crawl on
\n your site. Read all about sitemaps here.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

Internationalized or multi-lingual sites<\/h3>\n

If your site includes multiple languages, or is targeted at users in specific locales:<\/p>\n
