Technical SEO services that unblock the site.
Technical SEO is not content and it is not links. It is whether a search engine can reach, render, understand and index your pages at all. When that is broken, everything else you spend money on is spent on pages nobody can see.
Technical work removes blockers. On a site with no content and no authority, removing blockers alone will not move much, and we will say so.

What is technical SEO?
It covers crawl paths, index coverage, redirects, canonical signals, site architecture, structured data, mobile rendering and speed. Every one of those is a yes or no question with a checkable answer, which is what separates this from most of search.
What it is not: content, links, or a fix for a site nobody wants to link to. Technical work removes the ceiling. It does not raise the floor. Anyone selling it as a growth strategy on its own is describing the wider SEO program and charging for one part of it.
A page is indexed or it is not. Little else in search is this checkable.
Unblocking pages that already exist can move rankings in weeks.
Every future page inherits a clean architecture or an unclean one.
Most debt is created once, in a build, and never again after it is fixed.
The other six disciplines under SEO
Local SEO
Three map slots decide most local jobs. We build the profile, citations and location pages that put you in one of them, across your city and its suburbs.
Explore local SEO for businesses serving a city →On-Page SEO
One page, one search intent. Titles, headings, internal links and schema rebuilt page by page, starting with the ones quietly competing against each other.
Explore on-page optimization →Off-Page SEO
Links earned by outreach and by work worth citing. No purchases, no private networks, and a written list of the methods we turned down.
Explore earn links and authority →Ecommerce SEO
Stores lose crawl budget to filter URLs and near-identical variants nobody has audited. We clear that, then make category pages carry the products beneath them.
Explore SEO for online stores →Enterprise SEO
Search work that survives a sprint queue and four approvers. Scaled templates, migration planning, and reporting written separately for practitioners, marketing leads and the board.
Explore enterprise and multi-location SEO →SEO Audit
Twenty checks across technical, content, local and AI readiness, scored and returned as a prioritized plan a developer can action. Free, and yours either way.
Explore a full 20-point SEO audit →Sold separately and planned together, because each discipline makes the next one cheaper to run. See the full SEO program.
Core Web Vitals, and what fails each one
Google publishes three thresholds. A page passes only if it clears all three at the seventy-fifth percentile of real visits, which is why a perfect lab score and a failing report can appear together.
| Metric | What it measures | Good | Needs work | Poor | Commonest cause of failure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| LCP | How long until the largest visible element loads | 2.5s or less | 2.5s to 4.0s | Over 4.0s | An unoptimized hero image, a slow server response, or render-blocking CSS in the head |
| CLS | How much the layout shifts while loading | 0.1 or less | 0.1 to 0.25 | Over 0.25 | Images and ads without reserved dimensions, and web fonts swapping in late |
| INP | How quickly the page responds to a tap or click | 200ms or less | 200ms to 500ms | Over 500ms | Heavy JavaScript on the main thread, usually third-party tags nobody audits |
Field data is what Google ranks on. Lab tools simulate one load on one device and are useful for diagnosis, not for judging whether you pass.

What a technical SEO audit service actually delivers
A crawl of your site, checked by hand, returned as a fix list with an owner and an effort estimate against each item. Findings are ordered by what will change rankings, not by how many red flags a tool raised.
That ordering is most of the value. A crawler will report two hundred issues on a typical site. Perhaps twelve of them affect anything. Handing a developer all two hundred is how audits end up unread.
For B2B sites the pattern is usually the same: a marketing site bolted onto a product site, two content management systems, and nobody sure which one owns the blog. That is an architecture problem before it is a speed one.
The free 20-point review covers the whole picture across technical, content, local and AI readiness. See what the full audit covers. This page is the deeper technical version of the same discipline, scoped to a site rather than to a summary. Larger estates need auditing at enterprise scale, where the constraint is approval and release cycles rather than the crawl itself.
The part most agencies leave out
A fix list is not a fix. Findings arrive as specified tickets with acceptance criteria, sized for a sprint, in whatever tracker your team already uses. Your developer implements, or ours does if you do not have one.
Who implements
Your developer, ours, or a split where we handle the SEO layer and yours handles the platform. Agreed before work starts, not after.
What we need from you
Staging access, analytics and Search Console access, and one person who can approve a deploy. Without the third, everything queues.
What cannot be fixed without access
Server response times, some platform-level canonicalization and anything requiring template changes. If your platform blocks it, we say so rather than billing around it.
When a rebuild is cheaper
Some sites cost more to fix than to replace. Theme and plugin debt on WordPress often falls here, and so does any build where the template fights every change. When a rebuild beats a repair is a real answer and we give it.
What changes after the fix list
Case studies with before and after figures publish as each client approves them. The work behind them looks like this.
A third of the site was excluded by a canonical tag applied site-wide in a theme update. Nobody had looked at coverage in a year.
Four hops between an old URL and its destination, left over from two migrations. Collapsed to one, which is a morning of work.
Six third-party tags loading in the head, two of them for tools the client had stopped using. Removing them beat every image optimization available.
Named case studies with verified metrics publish as each client approves them.
Built on real E-E-A-T, not promises
Technical SEO is the one part of search where the claims are checkable. Check ours against this page.
Fix lists that shipped
Work as a technical SEO services company across WordPress, Shopify and custom builds, including the migrations that went wrong and what they taught.
Specialists
The person reading your crawl does technical work full time. Technical SEO rewards depth and punishes generalists faster than any other part of search.
Named and accountable
Every fix list carries a name. If a recommendation is wrong, you know whose it was.
This page passes its own thresholds
A technical SEO page failing Core Web Vitals is the most quotable failure available. Test this one.
"A crawler will hand you two hundred issues. Maybe twelve matter. Working out which twelve is the job, and it is the part software cannot do for you."
We also run white label technical work for agencies who need a diagnostic layer without hiring for it.
The rest of SEO Services
Part of one connected growth system
When the fix list is longer than the build was, the answer is rebuilding on a faster foundation rather than patching around a template.
Landing page speed feeds quality score directly, so page speed and ad costs are the same problem seen from two budgets.
Review markup is one of the easiest schema types to get wrong, and review markup done correctly is worth more than shipping it fast.
Open Graph and card markup decide how shared pages render, which is technical work nobody assigns to anyone.
Chat widgets and booking tools are usually the heaviest scripts on a site, so chat and booking without the speed cost is worth specifying up front.
What a technical engagement costs
Scoped to the site rather than fixed, and driven by three things: how many URLs there are, how many platforms are involved, and whether we are auditing only or implementing as well. The audit prices your version before you commit.
