Without a strong technical foundation, even the best content and design may fail to rank well. [Get a Quote](/quote)[Schedule a Call](/call) Our Technical SEO service audits and optimises the behind-the-scenes elements that influence search visibility and site performance, providing a solid base for all other marketing efforts. From crawl errors and Core Web Vitals to mobile usability and structured data—we identify issues that hold your site back and implement solutions that drive measurable improvements in search rankings and user experience. ## Why Technical SEO Matters The invisible foundation that determines your search visibility ### Crawlability Search engines use bots to crawl and index your pages. If your site isn't structured properly, crawlers may miss important content or waste crawl budget on irrelevant pages. ### Indexability Technical issues like duplicate content, canonical errors, or blocked resources can prevent pages from appearing in search results. ### Performance Faster sites lead to better rankings and lower bounce rates. Core Web Vitals—LCP, CLS, and FID—are now ranking factors. ### Mobile Usability Mobile-first indexing means Google predominantly uses the mobile version of your site for indexing and ranking. A mobile-optimised site is non-negotiable. ### Security & Trust HTTPS and secure certificates protect users' data and inspire trust. Non-secure sites may be flagged by browsers and lose rankings. ### Structured Data Schema markup helps search engines understand your content contextually and can earn rich results in SERPs (e.g., FAQ accordions, star ratings). ## Technical SEO Audit A comprehensive analysis identifying high-impact issues ### Crawl & Index Analysis We identify broken links, orphaned pages, duplicate titles, and canonicalisation problems using Screaming Frog and Sitebulb. ### Site Speed & Core Web Vitals We test with Lighthouse and GTmetrix, diagnosing issues like large images and unoptimised scripts. We evaluate LCP, CLS and FID. ### Mobile Optimisation We check mobile usability, responsive design, viewport configurations, font sizes and touch-friendly elements. ### HTTPS & Security We verify SSL certificates, check for mixed content errors and ensure HTTP to HTTPS redirections. ### Structured Data & Schema We identify opportunities for Schema types and validate with Google's Rich Results Test. ### Internal Linking & Navigation We assess navigation menus, breadcrumbs and anchor text for clarity and relevance. ### URL Structure & Parameters We analyse URL hierarchy, ensure keyword-friendly slugs and implement canonical tags. ### Server & Hosting We evaluate server response times, caching mechanisms, CDN use and HTTP/2 adoption. ## Implementation & Optimisation We don't just identify issues—we fix them ### Crawl Issue Fixes - Repair broken links - Consolidate duplicate content - Implement 301 redirects - Update canonical tags ### Page Speed Enhancements - Compress and optimise images - Minify CSS, JavaScript and HTML - Leverage browser and server caching - Defer non-critical scripts - Adopt WebP and lazy loading ### Mobile & UX Improvements - Ensure responsive design - Adjust tap targets - Reduce intrusive pop-ups - Improve font legibility ### Security & Indexing - HTTPS migration - Fix mixed content issues - Meta robots directives - Hreflang for multilingual sites ## Common Issues We Solve Technical problems that silently hurt your rankings - Slow page loads due to large media, heavy scripts or server limitations - Crawl errors like 404s, 5xx server errors and blocked resources - Duplicate content from URL parameters or poor canonicalisation - Poor mobile usability causing site-wide ranking issues - Insecure content or HTTP pages flagged by browsers - Schema markup errors limiting rich result eligibility - Unoptimised sitemaps or robots directives preventing indexation - Confusing site architecture causing crawl inefficiencies ## Technical SEO Packages Maintenance includes continuous monitoring, sitemap updates and quarterly performance reports ### Tech SEO Starter Setup Fee $2,000 Monthly Maintenance $250 Small business sites - Comprehensive audit - High-level fixes (broken links, redirects) - Basic speed optimisations - Schema on core pages - Monthly checks Most Popular ### Tech SEO Advanced Setup Fee $3,500 Monthly Maintenance $500 Mid-sized sites with multiple templates - Everything in Starter - Core Web Vitals improvements - Mobile optimisations - Detailed crawl analysis - Structured data across all pages - Quarterly audits ### Tech SEO Enterprise Setup Fee $5,000+ Monthly Maintenance $800+ Large or complex sites - Everything in Advanced - Server & CDN configuration - Site architecture restructuring - Hreflang implementation - JavaScript SEO analysis - Weekly monitoring & priority support ## Enhance Your SEO Strategy Technical SEO pairs perfectly with these services [ ### SEO Services On-page & content strategy ](/services/seo)[ ### Page Speed Optimisation Performance improvements ](/services/page-speed)[ ### Website Audit Identify overarching issues ](/services/site-audit)[ ### Local Citations & NAP Improve local rankings ](/services/local-citations) ## Frequently Asked Questions Common questions about technical SEO services ### Do I need technical SEO if I already have content? ### How does technical SEO differ from regular SEO? ### Is technical SEO a one-time task? ### Can technical SEO fix my declining rankings? ### Can I do technical SEO myself? ### Does technical SEO involve site redesign? ### Do you handle migrations? ### What is the most common technical issue? ## Ready to Strengthen Your Website's Foundation ?
