What this plan includes

The plan moves through baseline, strategy, technical work, content, authority, reporting. Durations are working-day estimates and dependencies keep downstream dates aligned.

How to customize it

  1. Open the preset and enter your start and target dates.
  2. Delete tasks that do not apply and add work specific to your organization.
  3. Assign owners, check dependencies, and adjust durations with the people doing the work.
  4. Download a backup before moving browsers. Use CSV or print when you need to share the plan.

Implementation tips

  • Fix indexing blockers before expanding content.
  • Keep page intent distinct to reduce internal competition.
  • Record annotations when important site changes ship.

Common starter risks

Changes are not implemented

Assign technical and content owners before the audit ends.

Performance is judged too early

Agree review windows that reflect crawling and publishing lead times.

Traffic grows without business value

Pair search measures with relevant business outcomes.
