Why this matters
Most SEO issues at enterprise scale are template-wide; fixing them centrally yields macro improvements instead of patchwork.
Hypothetical standard operating procedure

- Inventory site pages and group by template type (home, category, product, blog etc).
- Tag each template with its primary SEO characteristics and issues.
- Prioritize templates by traffic, conversions, and issue severity.
- Coordinate fixes at the template level rather than individual pages.
- Monitor template-level metrics post-implementation.
