Critical SEO Issues

The new Queue North site launched with significant SEO gaps that will hurt search visibility and indexing. These need to be addressed immediately.

1. Missing `robots.txt`

No robots.txt file served from the server
Search engines cannot determine crawl rules
Should reference the sitemap URL

2. Missing `sitemap.xml`

No XML sitemap generated or served
Search engines have no structured map of all pages
Must include all routes: /, /services, /industries, /about, /contact, /support, /industries/healthcare, /industries/retail, /industries/manufacturing, /industries/education-finance, /services/uc, /services/contact-center, /services/managed-services, /services/network-infrastructure, /services/cabling

3. Incomplete or Missing `<meta>` Tags

Verify all pages have unique title and description meta tags
Confirm Open Graph (og:title, og:description, og:image, og:url) on every page
Add og:type and og:locale tags
Add <link rel=canonical> on every page to prevent duplicate content

4. JSON-LD Structured Data Audit

Home page has LocalBusiness schema — verify all fields are accurate and complete
Missing BreadcrumbList schema on interior pages
Missing FAQPage or Service schema where applicable
Email removed from schema (good) but verify phone/address are correct

5. Heading Hierarchy

Verify each page has exactly one <h1>
Ensure heading levels are sequential (h1 → h2 → h3, no skips)
All headings should contain relevant keywords

6. Performance SEO

Images should use width and height attributes to prevent CLS
All images need descriptive alt text for image search
Lazy loading on below-fold images
Verify Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS) pass

7. Technical SEO

Add <link rel=icon> with multiple sizes (partially done)
Verify <html lang=en> is set
Add viewport meta if missing
Ensure all internal links use proper anchor text (not "click here")
Check for broken internal links

Pages Affected

All pages site-wide

Priority

Critical — site is live and unindexable without these basics.
