Technical SEO Services: Audit + Implementation
Our technical SEO services find and fix the problems that stop Google from crawling, indexing and ranking your website, from slow Core Web Vitals and broken redirects to pages stuck in “Discovered – currently not indexed”. You get a clear audit, and if you want it, we implement every fix for you.
Free 20-minute review of your Search Console data. No lock-in contracts.
What are technical SEO services?
Technical SEO services diagnose and fix the parts of a website that stop search engines from crawling, indexing or ranking it: site speed, crawlability, mobile performance, structured data and site architecture. Content and link building sit on top of this foundation, so if the technical layer is broken, the rest of your SEO budget works at a fraction of its value.
What’s Included in Our Technical SEO Services?
Every engagement covers the technical factors that decide whether Google can find, render and trust your pages. Keyword research, content writing and link building are separate services, but they depend on this work being done first.
Crawlability Analysis
We check that Googlebot can reach every important page: robots directives, navigation paths, crawl traps, broken links, redirect chains and wasteful URL patterns.
Indexability & Canonicalisation
We find pages that are excluded, duplicated or wrongly canonicalised, and make it clear to Google which URL is the primary version of each page.
XML Sitemap & Robots.txt
We clean your sitemap so it lists only indexable, canonical URLs, and tune robots.txt so crawl budget goes to pages that earn revenue.
Core Web Vitals & Site Speed
We diagnose Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint and Cumulative Layout Shift, then prioritise the fixes with the biggest impact on key pages.
Structured Data (Schema)
We audit existing schema, remove conflicts and add accurate Service, LocalBusiness, FAQ and Breadcrumb markup that matches your visible content.
Site Architecture & Internal Links
We fix orphan pages and shallow linking so authority flows from your homepage and hub pages to the services, industries and locations you want to rank.
JavaScript Rendering
We check whether content built with page builders or JavaScript frameworks is actually visible to Google, not just to visitors.
Redirects & Error Cleanup
We map and fix 404s, 5xx errors, redirect loops and chains, and update internal links so they point straight to the final URL.
Log File & Crawl Stats Review
On larger sites we analyse server logs and Search Console Crawl Stats to see exactly where Googlebot spends its time, and where it doesn’t.
What You Receive From Our Technical SEO Audit Services
Our technical SEO audit services combine a full site crawl with the data Google itself reports in Search Console, so every issue is confirmed rather than guessed. Crawling tools estimate problems; Search Console shows what Google is actually crawling, excluding and indexing.
Each finding is ranked by impact and effort, so your team, or ours, knows exactly what to fix first. A typical small-business technical SEO auditing service takes one to two weeks; large ecommerce and enterprise sites take three to four weeks because log file and crawl budget analysis need more data.
If your audit shows a wider content or relevance problem, our on-page SEO services pick up where the technical work ends.
Your audit deliverables
- Full site crawl report with every error grouped by type
- Search Console indexing review: why each excluded page is excluded
- Core Web Vitals report for your top templates
- Schema validation and recommended markup
- Prioritised fix sheet ranked by impact and effort
- Walk-through call to explain every finding
Technical SEO Audit vs Implementation: What’s the Difference?
A technical SEO audit is a diagnosis: a report of what’s broken. Implementation is the actual work of fixing it, editing code, server settings or CMS configuration. Many agencies sell the audit alone and leave the fixes to you. An audit-only engagement costs less, but it only pays off if your team has the access and skills to act on it. Always confirm which one you’re buying.

Diagnose & Prioritise
Every issue is confirmed, grouped and ranked by its impact on indexing, rankings and conversions.

Technical SEO for WordPress, Shopify & Ecommerce Sites
Each platform breaks in its own way. A generic checklist built for a 20-page brochure site misses most of these.
WordPress
Plugin bloat, heavy page builders, conflicting SEO plugins, unoptimised images and slow shared hosting are the usual culprits. We cut unused scripts, set up caching and fix duplicate meta tags without rebuilding your site.
Shopify
Our Shopify technical SEO audit covers fixed /collections/ and /products/ URL structures, duplicate collection and tag pages, limited robots.txt control, and Liquid theme edits for canonical and schema issues.
Ecommerce
Ecommerce technical SEO services handle crawl budget on large catalogues, faceted navigation that creates endless duplicate URLs, out-of-stock product pages and category pagination.
Selling overseas as well? Hreflang and multi-country setup are covered by our international SEO services. Moving platforms or domains? Plan it with our SEO migration services.
Technical SEO for Home Services, Trades & Professional Firms
Local businesses rarely have huge websites, but they often have the most damaging technical problems: location pages Google never indexes, duplicate suburb pages, missing LocalBusiness schema, and mobile pages that load too slowly for someone searching on the job site.
As a technical SEO consultant for home services and trades, we connect these fixes to your Google Business Profile and Google Maps visibility, so the pages Google indexes are the ones that win calls.

Technical SEO vs On-Page SEO: What’s the Difference?
Technical SEO controls how Google crawls, renders and indexes your site. On-page SEO optimises the content, headings and keywords on each page for relevance. A page can have perfect content and still never rank if Googlebot can’t reach it, it loads too slowly, or duplicates confuse indexing.
A common pattern we see: a business invests in content and links while a handful of technical issues quietly cap how much of that work ever gets indexed. Fix the foundation first, then scale on-page SEO and SEO content writing on top of it. For mobile-first problems specifically, see our mobile SEO services.
