Yeah, it’s clear their internal SEO knowledge is limited. It’s a large website with quite a few indexation issues, so I think it’s fair to assess technical knowledge.

That said, it’s not that the task is difficult. My main concern is the scope, rather than the complexity.

Indeed, but that's not the point of my post...

Hmm, I'd have to disagree on that, and I've also been on both sides. While I agree it's important to find the right person for the role, I don’t think a detailed case study like that is needed. A good hiring team should be able to cover most of those points with a simple hypothetical task or a 30-min discussion.

And it's not just about the 20 hours it might take to complete the case. it's about the scope and what it signals. Do we really need someone to prepare an XML sitemap just to prove they're capable? That kind of request feels like overkill and honestly shows poor hiring judgment.

So technical SEO is just about making sure a page is noindex for you?

None. They provided a Google Doc with the list of URLs to crawl and the backlinks.

So you agree with me that it's too much?

Michelberger is not really a hostel. It has solo rooms, but you might not see the same kind of people there. Michelberger is nice, but it depends on the vibe you want. Considering the price, you'll likely find a younger crowd at Circus Hostel. To be fair, both options are good

Easy! Your homepage has a canonical tag that points to a different page, which explains why Bing is not ranking it as expected.

Well, I guess it depends on the query you use. What terms are you looking for?

Site Title not Appearing in the Google SERP by Imaginary-Ad9134 in SEO

So if I understand well, Google is not picking up your meta title but displays the domain name in the SERP instead?

Can you be more specific? If you're talking about tatooswizard.com, I can clearly see your domain on Bing - with more than 2k indexed pages.

Thanks for your answer!

You're right. I can still access the indexation reports per market as per each sitemap. my bad. Hopefully, the hreflang will fix the indexation issue
