Crawl the staging site and check the pages you intend to index. Each needs a useful title, a clear main heading and a canonical URL that points to the production domain. Remove temporary noindex rules only when the public release is ready.
Open the sitemap and robots.txt on the live domain. Check HTTPS redirects, broken internal links and image alternative text. For a redesign, test the old URLs that earned traffic or backlinks.
Submit real enquiries from a phone and a desktop. Search visibility brings little value if the form fails or the team cannot identify the service requested. Keep a launch log and repeat the critical checks after deployment.
