Why technical SEO
Is your website holding your SEO back?
Technical problems are invisible to most site owners — but not to Google. Slow pages, blocked URLs, duplicate content and broken redirects all limit how much of your site ranks, no matter how good the content is.
What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO is the process of improving your website's infrastructure so search engines can crawl, render, index and understand it efficiently. It covers site speed and Core Web Vitals, indexing, site architecture, internal linking, redirects, duplicate content, structured data, mobile usability and security.
01
Pages not indexed
Important pages are missing from Google completely.
02
Slow, failing Core Web Vitals
Visitors leave before the page loads, and rankings suffer.
03
Traffic dropped after a redesign
Lost redirects and changed URLs wiped out years of SEO.
04
Duplicate & thin pages
Tags, filters and old pages compete with your best content.

Core Web Vitals
Faster pages rank better — and convert better
Core Web Vitals are Google's measures of how fast, responsive and stable your pages feel. Failing them holds rankings back and loses visitors before the page even loads. Here's a typical result after our technical SEO work.

What is included in a technical SEO audit?
A full crawl of your website covering indexing, crawlability, site speed and Core Web Vitals, site architecture, internal links, redirects, duplicate content, structured data, mobile usability and security — with every issue prioritised by impact.
How much does technical SEO cost?
A one-off technical SEO audit starts from £650, and an audit plus hands-on fix sprint from £1,800. Technical SEO is also included in our monthly SEO packages from £750 per month. See pricing.
Do you fix the issues or just report them?
We fix them. Our team includes WordPress, Shopify and front-end developers, so we implement the changes ourselves or work alongside your developer.
How do Core Web Vitals affect SEO?
Core Web Vitals are part of Google's page experience signals. Passing them won't make weak content rank, but failing them can hold good pages back — and slow pages lose visitors and enquiries.
Can you help with a website migration or redesign?
Yes. We map every old URL to its new one, check the new site before launch and monitor rankings afterwards, so you keep the SEO value you've built.
My site was hacked and Google shows spam pages — can you help?
Yes. We clean up hacked content, remove spam URLs from Google, fix security issues and submit reconsideration requests where needed.
How long does technical SEO take?
Most critical fixes are done within 2–4 weeks and a full technical sprint within about 6 weeks. You'll often see indexing and speed improvements soon after.
