Technical SEO
Technical SEO that gives your site a foundation search engines can build on
We find and fix the technical issues that stop search engines from crawling, understanding and ranking your pages, then keep them from coming back.
- Crawling and indexing
- Core Web Vitals
- Structured data
The problem
Great content cannot rank if search engines struggle to read it.
Technical problems are often invisible to the business. Important pages blocked or set to noindex, duplicate URLs splitting signals, redirect chains, JavaScript that hides content from crawlers, slow pages on mobile: each one quietly reduces how much of your site search engines see and trust.
These issues tend to multiply after redesigns, platform migrations, new plugins or catalog growth. Without regular checks they build up until traffic drops and nobody is sure why.
Our solution
Diagnose properly, fix in priority order, then prevent regressions.
We crawl your site the way search engines do, compare that with what is actually indexed in Google Search Console and review your templates, rendering and performance data. That shows not just what is wrong, but which issues are costing you visibility.
We turn findings into clear developer-ready tickets ranked by impact and effort, validate fixes once they ship and set up monitoring so new problems are caught early. For migrations and redesigns, we plan redirects and checks before launch, when mistakes are cheapest to avoid.
What we do
Crawl and indexation analysis
What search engines can reach, what they actually index, and why the two differ.
Site architecture review
URL structure, internal linking depth and navigation so important pages are easy to find. Related: Website SEO.
Core Web Vitals and speed
Loading, responsiveness and visual stability (LCP, INP and CLS) diagnosed at the template level, with fixes your developers can implement.
Rendering and JavaScript
Checks that content and links in JavaScript frameworks are visible to search engines.
Structured data
Accurate schema markup for your organization, products, articles, FAQs or local business, validated and maintained.
Migration and redesign support
Redirect mapping, pre-launch checks and post-launch monitoring to protect existing rankings.
Benefits
Technical health decides how much of your site can compete.
Every page that cannot be crawled, indexed or loaded quickly is a page that cannot bring customers.
More of your site in play
Fixing indexing and duplication problems puts more of your valuable pages into contention.
Better experience, better rankings
Faster, more stable pages help visitors and are part of how search engines assess page experience.
Safer change
Planned migrations and monitoring prevent the sudden traffic losses that follow unmanaged site changes.

What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO covers the parts of your website that affect how search engines crawl, render, index and evaluate it, such as site structure, speed, redirects, canonical tags and structured data. It is the foundation that content and authority depend on.
Do you need access to our code or CMS?
We need Search Console and analytics access to diagnose issues. To implement fixes, we either work through your developers with clear specifications or make changes directly where you give us access.
How do Core Web Vitals affect SEO?
Core Web Vitals measure loading (LCP), responsiveness (INP) and visual stability (CLS). They are part of how Google assesses page experience. They rarely outweigh relevance, but slow, unstable pages also lose visitors, so improving them is worth it.
Can you help with a website migration?
Yes. We map old URLs to new ones, review the new site before launch, check redirects and indexing immediately after, and monitor performance in the weeks that follow.
How often should a technical SEO review happen?
A full review is useful at least once a year and before any major site change. Ongoing monitoring between reviews catches issues introduced by new releases or plugins.
Will technical SEO alone improve our rankings?
Sometimes significantly, especially when issues are blocking important pages. More often it removes barriers so that content and on-page work can perform.
Do you work with Shopify, WordPress and custom sites?
Yes. The principles are the same; the fixes differ by platform. For stores, see our Shopify SEO and e-commerce SEO services.
