Technical SEO that gets your pages found, read and ranked.

Technical SEO is the plumbing of your website. It makes sure Google can reach every page, load it quickly, understand what is on it, and decide it is worth showing. When this is broken, nothing else you pay for works — the best article in your industry earns nothing on a page Google never sees.

Problems this service solves

Four technical problems that quietly cost you customers

These rarely announce themselves. There is no error message and nothing looks broken to a visitor. You just slowly stop appearing, and the reason is invisible unless someone goes looking for it.

01

Google never stores your best pages

A page can be live, look perfect, and still be missing from Google entirely. It happens when a setting blocks it, when it is buried too many clicks deep, or when Google decides it is too similar to another page to bother keeping.

Indexing
02

Your site is slow where it matters

Most owners test their site on office wifi and think it is fine. Google measures what a customer on a phone experiences, which is often three times slower. Slow pages lose both rankings and sales at the same time.

Speed
03

The same page exists in five versions

With and without www, with and without a slash, with tracking codes attached, plus print versions. Google sees separate pages competing with each other, and splits the credit between them instead of giving it all to one.

Duplication
04

A redesign wiped out your rankings

New site launches without redirects are the single most common cause of a sudden traffic collapse. Every old address that used to bring visitors now leads nowhere, and years of accumulated trust disappears with it.

Migrations
Why this matters more than it sounds
It caps everything else you spend

Content, links and advertising all depend on pages Google can reach and understand. If the foundation is broken, more spending simply produces more waste, and it is very hard to see that from the reports.

You lose sales as well as rankings

A page that takes six seconds on a phone loses a large share of visitors before it even appears. That cost is happening today, whether or not Google ever notices the speed problem.

It gets more expensive the longer you leave it

A missing redirect is cheap to add this month. Two years later it is buried under a rebuild, nobody remembers the old structure, and the trust those addresses carried is gone for good.

What is included

What technical SEO work actually involves

Seven areas. Not all of them will apply to your site, and I will tell you which ones do not rather than billing for a full sweep you do not need.

07areas covered
on every engagement
01Making sure Google can reach everything that matters+
I crawl your site the way a search engine does and compare that against what Google has actually stored. Anything important that is blocked, orphaned or buried gets found and fixed, and anything worthless that is wasting Google’s attention gets removed from its path.
02Speed and how quickly the page becomes usable+
Google scores how fast your page becomes useful to a real person on a real phone. I identify what is holding it up, fix what I can, and write clear instructions for your developer on the rest. I also tell you which warnings are safe to ignore.
03Removing duplicate and near-duplicate pages+
Every version of a page that exists separately splits your credit. I consolidate them, set the correct single version, and make sure your own links all point the same way.
04Site structure and internal links+
How your pages are grouped and linked tells Google what you consider important. I reorganize this so your money pages sit close to the homepage and receive support from related pages instead of sitting alone.
05Structured data+
Structured data is extra code that tells Google plainly what a page is: a product, a service, a review, a location. Done properly it can also earn richer listings in search results, such as star ratings or prices.
06Migrations and redesigns, done safely+
If you are moving platforms or rebuilding, I map every old address to its new home before launch and monitor closely afterwards. This is the cheapest insurance in SEO and skipping it is how businesses lose years of progress in an afternoon.
07Ongoing monitoring+
Technical problems reappear. A plugin update, a new template or a well-meaning change can undo months of work. I set up alerts so it gets caught in days rather than discovered in a quarterly review.
How it runs

How a technical SEO project runs

01

Full crawl and comparison

I crawl the whole site and line it up against Google Search Console and your analytics. That shows the difference between what exists, what Google has kept, and what actually earns visits.

Complete picture of the site
02

Sorting real problems from noise

A crawl of a normal site produces hundreds of warnings and most of them do not matter. I keep the ones that affect pages with commercial value and formally close the rest so nobody worries about them again.

A short, honest problem list
03

Fixing, in order of value

I work through the list starting with anything blocking Google from reaching your important pages, then duplication, then speed and structure. I either make the change or write it as a ticket your developer can complete without asking questions.

Fixes shipped and documented
04

Confirming it worked

Every fix is verified in Google Search Console rather than assumed. You get a before-and-after showing what changed, what Google now sees, and what to keep an eye on.

Why choose me

The difference between a list of problems and a fixed website

Most technical SEO ends with a report handed to a developer who was not part of the conversation, does not know which items matter, and quietly deprioritizes all of it. That is the gap I try to close.

What you receive

What you get from a technical SEO project

Main deliverable

A fixed site, and the record of how

The main deliverable is the work itself. Alongside it you get documentation clear enough that a future developer or agency can understand what was changed and why.

  • A prioritized fix list with each item scored on value against effort
  • Developer tickets written so they can be picked up and closed independently
  • Before-and-after evidence from Google Search Console for every fix
  • A plain-English summary you can read without a technical background
  • A written note of anything I chose not to fix, and the reasoning

A speed report that makes sense

What is slow, what it is costing you in real terms, and which fixes are genuinely worth your developer’s time. Not a screenshot of a score.

A safe migration plan

If you are rebuilding or replatforming, a complete map of old addresses to new ones, checked before launch rather than after.

Structured data set up correctly

The code that tells Google exactly what your pages are, implemented and validated so it can qualify for richer search listings.

Monitoring and alerts

Automatic checks that flag it quickly when something breaks again, because eventually something always does.

Case study

Fixing what a rebuild quietly broke

A site relaunched on a new platform and organic visits fell sharply within a fortnight. The design was better, the content was the same, and nobody could explain the drop.

The old page addresses had changed and almost none of them pointed anywhere. Every link the business had earned over several years was landing on an error page. Rebuilding those redirects and resubmitting the site was unglamorous work, and it was the whole problem.

Project fit

Is technical SEO what your site actually needs?

A strong fit when

  • Pages are published but not showing up in Google
  • Traffic dropped after a redesign, a platform change or a migration
  • Your site is slow on phones and you are not sure what is causing it
  • You have a large site where the same page exists at several addresses
  • You are about to rebuild and want to avoid losing what you have

Another service may suit better

  • Your site is technically clean and you simply have no pages for what people search — see content strategy
  • You rank but the pages do not persuade anyone — that is on-page SEO
  • You mainly need to appear in local map results — see local SEO
  • You are not sure what is wrong at all — start with an SEO audit

Not sure which applies? Send your URL and I will tell you honestly which service fits, including when the answer is neither. Compare all ten services.

Frequently asked questions

Technical SEO questions, answered simply

01What is technical SEO in plain English?+
Technical SEO is the work that makes sure search engines can find your pages, load them properly, understand what is on them, and store them. It covers speed, site structure, duplicate pages, mobile experience and the code that describes your content. It does not involve writing or keywords — it is the foundation those things sit on.
02How do I know if I have a technical SEO problem?+
The clearest signs are pages that are published but never appear in Google, a sudden drop in traffic after a website change, a site that feels slow on a phone, or Google showing an old or wrong version of your page. Google Search Console will usually be flagging something, and it is free to check.
03How much does technical SEO cost?+
A one-off technical fix project for a small business site commonly runs from about $2,000 to $6,000 in the US. Larger online stores and complex sites cost more because there is more to check and more to coordinate. Ongoing monitoring is usually a much smaller monthly amount.
04How long before I see results from technical fixes?+
Faster than most SEO work, because you are removing an obstacle rather than building something new. Indexing problems can improve within days or weeks of being fixed. Speed improvements show up immediately for visitors, though Google may take longer to reflect them in rankings.
05Will you need access to my website?+
For most work, yes — either admin access or a working relationship with your developer. Some things I can identify from outside, but fixing them requires access. If you prefer, I can write everything up as instructions and stay hands-off entirely.
06Can technical SEO break my website?+
Any change to a live site carries some risk, which is why I test on a staging copy where one exists, make changes in small batches, and keep a record of what was altered. I will also tell you plainly when a change is risky enough to need a proper backup first.
07Do I need technical SEO if my site is brand new?+
Usually less of it, because new sites built on modern platforms start reasonably clean. What is worth doing is a check before launch, so the structure and settings are right from day one. Fixing it later always costs more than getting it right at the start.
08Is site speed really a ranking factor?+
Yes, but it is a smaller factor than most people assume. Google uses speed scores as one signal among many, and a fast site rarely outranks a much more relevant slow one. The stronger argument for speed is that slow pages lose visitors and sales regardless of what Google thinks.
A deeper explanation

A closer look at technical SEO

Technical SEO is best understood as removing obstacles rather than adding anything. Your content and your reputation are what earn rankings; technical work makes sure nothing gets in their way. That is why it usually shows results faster than other SEO work, and also why it has a ceiling — a perfectly built website with nothing worth reading will still not rank.

Why good pages go missing

Business owners are often surprised that a live page can be invisible to Google. But Google is not obliged to store anything. It has finite capacity and makes a judgment about every page: can I reach this, is it different enough from the other pages here, and is it worth keeping? A page fails that test when a setting blocks it, when nothing on the site links to it, when it closely resembles another page, or when there is very little on it. Google Search Console reports which of these applied, which is why it is the first place I look.

How Google decides how much attention to give you

Search engines allocate a rough budget of attention to each website. Small sites rarely hit that limit. Large online stores hit it constantly, usually because filter and sorting links generate thousands of near-identical addresses that consume the budget before the real product pages are reached. The fix is not asking Google to try harder; it is removing the waste so the attention lands where it matters. That work overlaps closely with e-commerce SEO.

Speed, honestly

There is a lot of noise about speed scores. My position is that chasing a perfect number is usually a poor use of budget. What matters is how long a real customer waits before the page becomes useful, particularly on a mid-range phone on mobile data. Fixing oversized images and stopping scripts from blocking the page typically delivers most of the available improvement. The last stretch toward a perfect score often costs more than it returns, and I will tell you when you have reached that point.

Why migrations go wrong so often

A website rebuild changes two things at once: how the site looks and where every page lives. The visible part gets tested carefully because everyone can see it. The addresses get overlooked because nothing appears broken to a visitor. Meanwhile every link another website ever pointed at you, and every result Google had stored, now leads to an error page. It is entirely preventable with a mapping exercise before launch, and painful to repair afterwards.

Where technical work stops

I would rather be clear about the limits. Technical SEO will not make a page rank for a search it does not answer, will not create demand that is not there, and will not substitute for the trust that comes from other sites referencing you. If your site is technically sound and still not ranking, the honest answer is that the problem is elsewhere — usually coverage, relevance or authority. In that case an SEO audit is a better starting point than more technical work, and link building may matter more than anything I can fix in the code.
