This is not a complete list and the final agenda and focus differs strongly on the goal of the workshop, the business goal, the vertical & market of the organization, the strengths of the developers and the technical stack. Every inhouse dev workshop starts with a 1h to 2h kick off call 2 weeks to 1 month before the actual workshop to get alignment.

The goal is also not to just pile the above mentioned parts of technical SEO onto each other but to establish a systematic understanding of how SEO works and how SEO can work for the organisation. Where existing leverage points are and where leverage points should be built – and how to use them and measure the impact.
