Needs Improvement

Executive Summary: The overall SEO score for maintained.ae has improved from 3.3/10 (Poor) to 5.3/10 (Needs Improvement), a gain of 2.0 points since the baseline audit in March 2026. Key improvements include the addition of a robots.txt file, a canonical URL tag, and a properly configured viewport meta tag. However, several critical issues remain: the site still lacks a title tag on the homepage, has no meta description, is missing an XML sitemap, has no Open Graph tags, no structured data (JSON-LD), and 71% of images are missing alt text. The site runs on WordPress with LiteSpeed server and uses WebP images, which is positive for performance. This report outlines the specific findings and a prioritised action plan to continue improving the SEO posture.

Outstanding Issues

The following issues still need to be addressed, sorted by priority.

#	Issue	Priority	Details	Recommendation
1	Missing title tag	CRITICAL	The homepage has no <title> tag. Inner pages show only generic "» Page Name" format.	Add unique, keyword-rich title tags to every page. Homepage: "MAINTAINED \| Home Maintenance Services in Dubai & London"
2	Missing meta description	CRITICAL	No meta description on any page.	Add compelling, 120–160 character descriptions to every page with a clear call to action.
3	No XML sitemap	CRITICAL	/sitemap.xml returns 404. No sitemap reference in robots.txt.	Install Yoast SEO or Rank Math to auto-generate a sitemap. Submit it to Google Search Console.
4	Missing Open Graph tags	HIGH	No og:title, og:description, og:image, or og:url tags found.	Add OG tags to all pages for proper social media sharing previews. Use the company logo as fallback og:image.
5	No structured data	HIGH	No JSON-LD schema markup found on any page.	Add LocalBusiness schema with Dubai and London locations, Service schema for each service page, and Organization schema sitewide.
6	71% images missing alt text	MEDIUM	27 of 38 images on the homepage lack descriptive alt attributes.	Audit all images site-wide and add descriptive, keyword-relevant alt text. Format: "MAINTAINED engineer performing [service] in [location]"
