Decisions
Decision | Why | Who | When | Where |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Do not do a full website crawl. | Returns a lot of noise, aka canonicalized pages that are not due to SEO optimization. What pages are returned relevant to SEO are incomplete and redundant of Client Sheet data. | |||
Use Client Sheets as source of truth for crawl list. | See above. This is our best source of truth. |
Assumptions
That reps are historically accurately optimized/modified Meta Descriptions.
That Client Sheets are sufficiently representative of the work that has been completed on SRPs.
Dependencies
Buy in for additional Screaming Frog Licenses.

Notes
We will have to configure Screaming Frog to not crawl too aggressively to not negatively impact servers.
Migration Process
Consolidate client sheet links & clean-up
Content History, SEO Content Audit, SEO Work Done, Work Done Import
Which columns. DON’t select columns. select entire sheet/tab contents!!!!
remove none domain links if any
Crawl all links with screaming frog to identify pages that need content migrated
Migrate content
For each page
Go into the Search Component in the CMS and replace the URL portion in both the meta title and meta description with the new canonical link (section includes /search/inventory on).
Go into the SEO Content Component in the CMS and replace the parameters of the desired component instance with the new canonical link parameters (includes only the filters section of the URL after /search/inventory/).
To update on-page buttons, you will need to check which buttons exist on the page, then go into each of those component instances, which should all include buttons linking back to the page you are editing. Grab the entire canonical URL and replace the old Button Link Path with the new URL. This will ensure that all parent and child pages include buttons that direct the user to the optimized canonical page.
Check off each customer when all content has been migrated
Copy canonical page list from column “Canonical Link Element 1” paste at the bottom of the Work Done Import list. Add “Canonical fixed” to Content Focus column for each row.
