Technical SEO Services
Build a Faster, More Crawlable Website That Ranks – and Converts
Increase organic visibility, improve site performance, and unlock scalable growth without guesswork.
Technical SEO is the engine behind high-performing websites. We help teams identify, prioritize, and resolve the technical barriers that suppress rankings, reduce discoverability, and slow performance. Our audits uncover what’s actually holding your site back – crawl inefficiencies, performance bottlenecks, indexation gaps, and structural issues – then translate findings into a clear, execution-ready roadmap your developers can implement immediately.
Technical SEO Built for Growth at Scale
Without it, even great content and strong brand demand can struggle to perform in search.
- Sustainable organic growth
- Faster page rendering across devices
- More efficient crawling on large or frequently updated sites
- Improved indexation of revenue-driving pages
- Stronger foundations for content, links, and paid traffic
Without it, even great content and strong brand demand can struggle to perform in search.
What Is Technical SEO?
Technical SEO refers to infrastructure-level optimizations that help search engines efficiently crawl, render, index, and rank your website.
It includes:
- Crawl path optimization
- Indexation control
- Site architecture and internal linking
- Page speed and Core Web Vitals
- Structured data and schema markup
- Mobile performance and usability
- URL structure and parameter handling
Unlike on-page SEO, technical SEO isn’t about keyword placement – it ensures every important page has the ability to rank.
Why Technical SEO Matters
Modern websites create technical complexity – even when everything “looks fine” on the surface. Common issues include:
- Large numbers of URLs competing for crawl attention
- Filters, parameters, and duplicates diluting index quality
- JavaScript-heavy experiences that slow rendering
- CMS, plugin, or template quirks that create hidden errors
- Platform-specific indexation quirks
Without a strong technical SEO foundation:
- High-value pages may never be indexed
- Search engines waste time crawling low-value URLs
- Users abandon slow or unstable pages
- Rich results (like enhanced snippets) never appear
Technical SEO is what makes organic growth scalable and predictable.
What We Do – Technical SEO That’s Prioritized for Impact
We don’t just run automated scans and dump a checklist. Our approach is designed to drive outcomes, not overwhelm your team.
We go beyond surface-level reporting to:
- Identify root causes – not just symptoms
- Prioritize fixes by SEO impact and effort
- Align technical improvements with business goals
- Deliver fixes developers can implement immediately
Whether your site is small and lean or enterprise-scale and complex, we help ensure your technical foundation supports growth – not limits it.
Key Areas We Improve
Crawlability & Indexation
Search engines should spend time crawling your best pages—not duplicates, filters, or dead ends.
We optimize crawl efficiency by:
- Controlling crawl access through robots.txt and meta directives
- Reducing duplicate URL creation from parameters and variations
- Strengthening internal linking to surface deep, important pages
- Fixing orphaned pages that never receive crawl equity
- Resolving soft 404s, redirect loops, and server errors
- Ensuring accurate, up-to-date XML sitemaps
Result: Search engines index the pages that matter most—faster and more consistently.
Site Speed & Core Web Vitals
Speed impacts rankings, user engagement, and conversion rates.
We improve Core Web Vitals across templates and page types, including:
- Largest Contentful Paint (LCP): image optimization, lazy loading, critical CSS
- Interaction to Next Paint (INP): JS execution control, third-party script reduction
- Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS): layout stability fixes, font loading optimization
- Time to First Byte (TTFB): CDN usage, caching strategies, server tuning
Result: Faster experiences that keep users engaged and send stronger quality signals to search engines.
Mobile Optimization
Mobile-first indexing means mobile performance is non-negotiable.
We audit and improve:
- Testing real-world device rendering
- Fixing JavaScript and CSS issues that break mobile layouts
- Improving tap targets, spacing, and scroll behavior
- Optimizing mobile images and media delivery
Result: A smoother mobile experience and fewer indexing/ranking issues tied to mobile performance.
Structured Data & Search Enhancements
Structured data helps search engines interpret your pages and can unlock richer search results.
We implement and validate schema to:
- Improve eligibility for enhanced listings
- Clarify entity relationships and page intent
- Reduce ambiguity for search engines and AI-driven results
- Strengthen content understanding at scale
Result: Cleaner interpretation, stronger relevance signals, and better visibility opportunities.
Site Architecture & Internal Linking
A scalable site structure helps search engines understand what matters — and helps users find it.
We improve structure by:
- Clarifying hierarchy and page relationships
- Strengthening internal linking to distribute authority strategically
- Reducing depth for key pages (so they’re not buried)
- Improving navigation patterns to support discovery and engagement
Result: Better crawl flow, stronger topical signals, and more consistent ranking performance.

FAQs
Questions about Technical SEO? We’ve got the answers.
What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO is the process of optimizing your website’s infrastructure so search engines can crawl, render, and index it effectively. It includes performance improvements, crawl/index management, architecture fixes, structured data, and resolving technical errors that block visibility.
Why is technical SEO important?
Technical SEO is crucial because it lays the foundation for your website’s visibility in search engines. Without proper technical optimization, even the best content may struggle to rank. It ensures that your site meets the technical requirements of modern search engines.
How to improve Technical SEO?
You can improve Technical SEO by optimizing your website’s loading speed, enhancing mobile responsiveness, and fixing broken links. Implementing structured data can also help search engines understand your content better. Regular audits will identify areas for improvement.
What tools to use?
There are several tools available for Technical SEO, including Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, and SEMrush. These tools can help you analyze your site’s performance and identify technical issues. Utilizing these resources will streamline your optimization efforts.
When to perform Technical SEO audits?
It’s recommended to perform Technical SEO audits at least twice a year or after significant website changes. Regular audits help maintain optimal performance and address any emerging issues. Staying proactive can prevent larger problems down the line.
How is this different from a regular SEO audit?
Typical SEO audits cover on-page issues like keyword use or meta tags. Our technical SEO audit goes deeper, uncovering:
- Code-level performance blockers
- Broken site architecture
- Missed structured data opportunities
- Duplicate content from dynamic filtering
- Platform-specific issues (e.g., Shopify app conflicts or Magento indexation issues)
We provide developer-ready fixes — not just theory — to move your store forward faster.
How long does it take to see results?
- Quick wins like fixing crawl blocks, submitting updated sitemaps, or resolving mobile issues can show impact in a few weeks.
- Bigger improvements — such as Core Web Vitals or architecture overhauls — typically show ranking and traffic gains within 2–3 months.
- Ecommerce SEO is compounding — the earlier we fix these issues, the faster future gains grow.
Will you work with my developers?
Absolutely. We provide all technical SEO recommendations in developer-ready format, including:
- Code samples
- Technical documentation
- Priority scoring
- Estimated effort per task
We’re happy to work alongside your internal or external dev team — or handle implementation ourselves.
Do I need technical SEO if I already use an SEO plugin?
SEO plugins (like Yoast or Rank Math) help with basic metadata and readability. But they don’t fix structural problems, indexation issues, or performance bottlenecks.
If your ecommerce site has:
- A large catalog
- Faceted filters
- Custom templates
- Performance issues
…you need advanced, human-led technical SEO to unlock organic growth.
