Technical SEO Audit and Fixes

The invisible layer that decides whether anything else works. We find what is blocking your site, rank it by impact, and fix it ourselves.

The work

What a Technical Audit Covers

Five areas, checked in this order. Fixing them out of order wastes money.

Crawling and indexing: Whether Google can reach your pages at all. Blocked resources, orphan pages and robots rules that quietly hide sections of a site.
Speed and Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint, interaction delay and layout shift, measured on a mid-range phone rather than a laptop on office wifi.
Site structure: How pages link to each other and how deep they sit. Anything more than three clicks from the homepage is being undervalued.
Duplicate and thin pages: Parameters, tag archives and near-identical pages splitting the same signal across several URLs.
Structured data: Schema that matches what is on the page. Wrong or leftover markup causes errors rather than rich results.

Process

How a Technical Fix Runs

Four to six weeks for most sites. Larger sites are staged by section.

Crawl

A full crawl plus log analysis where server logs are available, so we see what Google fetches rather than what we assume.

Prioritise

Findings ranked by impact against effort. You see the list before anyone touches the site.

Fix

Code changes on staging, tested, then pushed. Nothing goes live without you seeing it first.

Verify

Search Console re-checked over the following weeks. A fix that is not confirmed is not finished.

Monitor

Alerts on the errors that tend to return, so the same problem is not rediscovered in six months.

Deliverables

What Lands in Your Inbox

The findings, in plain language
Every issue explained with what it costs you, not a colour-coded export from a tool.
A prioritised fix list
Ordered by impact, with an estimate of effort against each item, so you can decide what to do in-house.
Before and after numbers
Core Web Vitals and Search Console coverage, recorded at the start and re-checked afterwards.
Fixes applied, not suggested
We make the changes. You are not handed a document and left to find a developer.

Honest view

When Technical Work Will Not Help

Two situations where the bottleneck is somewhere else entirely.

Your pages load fine and rank fine, but nobody enquires. That is a content and messaging problem.
Your site is technically clean and still invisible. Then the gap is authority, and that means earned mentions.

Technical work is the base, not the whole building. It sits underneath everything else in search.

FAQ

Questions About Technical SEO

What is a technical SEO audit?

A systematic check of everything that stops search engines reading, understanding and trusting your site. Crawling, speed, structure, duplicate content and structured data. It is the base layer, because content and links cannot compensate for pages that cannot be reached or read properly.

How long does a technical audit take?

Three to five working days for the audit itself on most business sites, longer for large stores. Implementing the fixes usually takes four to six weeks depending on how much sits in templates rather than individual pages.

Will fixing technical issues improve rankings?

Sometimes directly, more often by removing a ceiling. If Google could not reach or render pages properly, fixing that lets existing content perform. If the site was already clean, the gain will be small and we tell you that before you spend.

Do you fix the issues or just report them?

We fix them. Code changes are made on staging, tested and pushed with your approval. A report you have to hand to somebody else is not a solution, it is homework.

How do you measure Core Web Vitals?

On field data from real users in Search Console, not only lab tests. Lab tools are useful for diagnosis, but Google ranks on what actual visitors experience, usually on mid-range phones over mobile data.
