  • Check any crawl errors
  • Check duplicate content on your site.
  • See what sites are linking to your website pages
  • See if there are any No Found or broken links on your site and where they are coming from.
  • Submit a sitemap to maximize the number of pages that can be crawled on your site
  • Set your preferred domain : with www's or without (very important way to cut down on duplicate content issues.
