We use Tapita as a SEO tool as well beside GSC and Analytics. When I run SEO audit it shows that 40 dofollow links need improvement. We are linking mainly to our social accounts. What could be the reason it shows that improvements are needed and what could be done?
It’s David from SearchPie here.
The standard best practice is to change these to nofollow.
To fix this, you will need to edit your theme code (likely in your footer.liquid file), find the <a> tag for each social media link, and simply add rel="nofollow" to it. This tells Google not to pass any of your site’s authority through that link and will resolve the issue in your SEO audit.
I believe that should do the trick!
Hope this helps!
