Before DNS cutover
SterlingWeb, a website development company in Nashik, treats pre-launch SEO as part of delivery — not a post-launch patch. Confirm XML sitemaps reference only indexable URLs, redirects are mapped from legacy paths, and staging is fully noindexed.
Validate Organization and WebSite JSON-LD (and Article or Product where relevant) in Google’s Rich Results test. Canonical tags should self-reference on production URLs only.
Core Web Vitals and real-user performance
Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift should be budgeted in the build — image dimensions, font loading, and script deferral matter as much as caching plugins.
Third-party tags (analytics, chat, A/B tools) belong in a tag plan with owners; each addition is weighed against CWV and INP.
After go-live
Monitor Search Console coverage, structured data issues, and server logs for 404 spikes. A short stabilization window with agreed rollback criteria keeps agency clients confident in the handoff.
