Technical SEO Crawlability Audit: Robots, Status Codes, Canonicals, Sitemaps, and Links
Crawlability is a system of connected signals. Robots rules, status codes, redirects, canonicals, sitemaps, internal links, metadata, and page quality need to agree on which URLs are intentionally public. Genesis evaluates those signals together and keeps search-engine decisions separate from what the site can control.
Possible causes
- Conflicting crawl directives
- Canonical inconsistency
- Non-200 URLs in sitemap
- Orphan pages
- Duplicate URL families
Diagnose the exact failure before choosing a repair.
Genesis separates the visible symptom from the underlying technical cause. Run the supported diagnostic first, review the evidence, and then use a matching repair only when the failure is actually verified.
- Platform scope
- Public websites across major CMS and frameworks

Get the code you need from Genesis Code Doctor.
Once you know the platform and the verified problem, search the Genesis Code Doctor Code Store for a matching package. If the exact integration or repair is not there, use Request a Code and describe the platform, official documentation, desired behavior, and sanitized error—never send your secret key.
Next step
Start with a free diagnostic. If Genesis verifies a problem and a compatible treatment exists, continue to the matching Code Store product or repair path. If you cannot find the exact code you need, request it at GenesisCodeDoctor.com rather than forcing a generic snippet into the wrong platform.
