Crawlability Audit
Audit
The crawlability analysis of Midtown Athletic Clubs’ career site shows strong accessibility for search engines.
The site has 177 crawlable URLs, with no URLs blocked by robots.txt or noindex directives, indicating an open structure that allows search engines to reach all intended content. The response codes reveal 176 successful (200) pages and just one 404 error, suggesting that the site has well-managed links with minimal disruptions to the crawl process.
The maximum crawl depth is 3, and the average crawl depth is 1.81, which reflects an efficient site structure where most important pages are reachable within two clicks from the homepage. This shallow depth improves both crawl efficiency and user experience, as it reduces the time needed for search engines to discover new job postings.
The absence of blocked URLs or server errors indicates a technically sound environment, minimizing crawl barriers.
Overall, the site’s structure supports comprehensive crawlability, with only minor issues such as the single 404 error, which should be monitored to prevent future crawl interruptions.
Best Practices
Crawlability determines how easily search engines can discover and access the pages on your career site. For career sites, where job listings frequently change, ensuring optimal crawlability is essential to keep job postings visible in search results.
To enhance crawlability, start by maintaining a clean site architecture where important pages, like job listings and career-related content, are easily reachable within a few clicks from the homepage. Use an optimized robots.txt file to control which parts of the site search engines can crawl, ensuring that sensitive pages (like internal dashboards) are blocked while job listings remain accessible. Regularly audit for 404 errors and broken links, as these can disrupt the crawl process. Implement proper redirects (301) when URLs change to maintain link equity. Additionally, avoid deep nesting of pages; a shallow structure helps both users and crawlers navigate effectively.
Consistent monitoring using tools like Screaming Frog can help identify crawl issues early, ensuring that new job postings are indexed quickly.
