Technical SEO
Technical SEO services that help Google crawl, understand and rank your website
If search engines cannot read your site properly, good content will not rank. We find and fix the technical problems that hold your website back.
What it is
The foundation that every other SEO task depends on
Technical SEO is the work that makes your website easy for search engines to access and understand. It covers how fast your pages load, whether Google can find and index them, how your site is structured, and whether your pages are marked up so machines can read them.
Many sites have hidden problems. Pages that should be indexed are blocked. Duplicate versions of the same page compete with each other. Images are far too large. Mobile layouts shift as the page loads. None of this is visible to the owner, but all of it affects search results.
We start with a full audit, rank the problems by impact, and fix the ones that matter first. You receive a plain English list of what we found, why it matters and what we changed. We never bury you in a 100 page report.
Who it is for
Websites that should be getting more from Google
Technical SEO is the right first step in these cases.
Sites that have lost traffic
If visits dropped after a redesign, a migration or an update, there is often a technical cause we can find and fix.
Sites that are slow
If pages take several seconds to load on a phone, visitors leave and rankings suffer. Speed work often gives quick wins.
New or rebuilt sites
Before you invest in content, make sure the base is sound so every new page has the best chance to rank.
What you get
What a technical SEO project covers
We check and fix the areas below, and we report on each in plain English.
Crawl and index review
We check robots.txt, sitemaps, noindex tags and redirects, so the pages you want in Google are the pages that get indexed.
Core Web Vitals and speed
We test loading, layout stability and responsiveness, then fix images, scripts, fonts and caching.
Site structure and URLs
Clear page hierarchy, clean URLs, breadcrumbs and internal links that pass authority to your key pages.
Duplicate content and canonicals
We remove or merge competing pages and set canonical tags so Google knows which page to rank.
Schema markup
Structured data for your organisation, services, breadcrumbs and articles, written to match the page content.
Mobile and accessibility checks
We test layout, tap targets, contrast, headings and image text so the site works for every visitor.
Security and HTTPS
We check certificates, mixed content and basic security headers.
Search Console and tracking
We connect Google Search Console and analytics, so you can see indexing and traffic in one place.

Timeline
How long technical SEO takes
A one-off audit takes about one week and costs $149. Fixes typically take two to four weeks, depending on the size of the site and how many issues we find.
After the fixes, search engines need time to crawl the changes. You may see indexing improve within weeks, while ranking and traffic changes usually take a few months.

FAQ
Technical SEO questions
What is technical SEO?
It is the work that helps search engines crawl, index and understand your website. It includes speed, site structure, redirects, sitemaps and structured data.
How do I know if I need it?
Common signs are slow pages, pages missing from Google, a drop in traffic after a site change, or warnings in Google Search Console.
Can you fix problems on any website?
We work best on WordPress. For other platforms we deliver a clear fix list that your developer can follow.
How much does it cost?
A one-off technical SEO audit is $149. Ongoing technical work is included in our monthly SEO plans, which start at $149 per month.
Will fixing technical issues guarantee higher rankings?
No one can guarantee that. Fixing technical issues removes barriers and lets your content compete fairly, and it often has a large effect on sites with serious problems.
