SEO Governance, Risk & Operations

SEO governance establishes the processes, standards, and accountability structures that ensure SEO is consistently applied across teams and over time. Operations covers the day-to-day work of maintaining SEO health.

The governance cycle spans quality assurance through incident response, with change management as a central hub.
