| Factor | Current Status | Recommendation | |--------|----------------|----------------| | | 85 % unique, but many contain “BBU – Empro”. | Add program‑specific keywords; keep < 60 chars. | | Meta descriptions | Missing on 28 % of pages. | Provide concise, action‑oriented descriptions. | | Header hierarchy | Some pages start with <h2> (missing <h1> ). | Ensure a single <h1> per page, follow logical order. | | Canonical tags | Present on most pages; duplicate content still appears via parameters ( ?lang=az ). | Add canonical URL without query string; use hreflang for language variants. | | Sitemap | XML sitemap exists ( /sitemap.xml ) but not submitted to Google Search Console. | Submit & keep updated automatically via Laravel package. | | Robots.txt | Allows all; disallows /admin/ . | Fine as is, but consider blocking /api/ if not meant for indexing. | | Backlinks | ~120 referring domains, majority local (educational .edu.az). | Pursue guest posts on regional tech blogs; encourage alumni to link from personal sites. | | Schema markup | Minimal – only Organization schema. | Add EducationalOrganization , Course , Person (faculty) markup. | | Page Speed | Mobile PageSpeed score 71/100. | Implement recommendations above; re‑run after changes. | | Local SEO | Google Business Profile for “Baku Business University” present but not linked. | Add NAP (Name‑Address‑Phone) markup and link from footer. |
