USA Multi-Location Technical SEO Recovery

12-week crawl, indexation, and location schema sprint

A USA franchise brand with 30+ locations suffered a 40% traffic drop after a botched CMS migration. Our 12-week Technical SEO sprint diagnosed and resolved crawl errors, index bloat, duplicate content, and structured data failures.

USA franchise brand with 30+ locations story

The brand came in after a migration had already damaged search performance. The priority was not redesign; it was diagnosis and recovery.

Synbus treated the site like a technical system, tracing crawl paths, index signals, duplicate patterns, and location-page health.

Within the sprint, the site recovered a large portion of lost visibility and gained a cleaner technical foundation for future location growth.

Technical SEO challenge

The migration created broken internal links, duplicate location pages, missing canonical rules, and crawl traps that diluted visibility across city pages.

Synbus execution strategy

We ran log-style crawl analysis, rebuilt indexation rules, cleaned duplicates, added location schema, and monitored recovery through weekly Search Console and rank movement reviews.
