technical SEO audit

Technical SEO

The invisible foundation that makes everything else rank

Great content on a broken site never ranks. Technical SEO is the invisible foundation - crawlability, indexation, speed, structure - that decides whether Google can even understand what you're publishing. We audit, fix, and monitor it so your content investment actually compounds.

What's included

  • Full technical crawl (Screaming Frog + Sitebulb + log files)
  • Core Web Vitals fix plan (LCP, INP, CLS)
  • JavaScript rendering + hydration audit
  • Schema architecture across templates
  • Internal linking strategy + implementation
  • Log-file analysis + crawl budget optimization

What ships

  • Prioritized technical fix list (impact × effort)
  • Schema library deployed across your templates
  • Internal linking rules baked into your CMS
  • Monthly technical health monitoring

What you walk away with

  • Every important page crawled, rendered, and indexed
  • Sub-2.5s LCP and green Core Web Vitals sitewide
  • Compounding link equity flowing to your best pages

Most sites we audit have 30-60% of their pages either mis-indexed or wasting crawl budget. Fixing that alone commonly lifts organic traffic 20-40% inside 90 days without publishing a single new page.

Why technical SEO is the highest-ROI SEO work

Content and links are what most agencies sell because they're easy to bill. Technical fixes are what actually unlock the value of the content and links you already have. Removing 10,000 low-value URLs from your index or fixing a hydration bug on your money template will typically outperform six months of new blog posts.

The catch: technical SEO requires actual engineering fluency. We staff senior engineers on every audit - people who read log files, understand render trees, and can hand a JIRA-ready ticket to your dev team.

What our audits actually cover

Crawlability - robots.txt, meta directives, canonical logic, and pagination. Indexation - parameter handling, thin content, duplicate pages, and index bloat. Rendering - JavaScript execution, hydration timing, and server-side rendering strategy. Core Web Vitals - LCP, INP, CLS with specific culprit identification.

Then structural work: schema architecture across every template, internal linking rules that push equity toward money pages, and crawl budget management for large sites. We finish with log-file analysis so we can see what Googlebot is actually spending its time on - often the single most useful piece of data on the whole audit.

After the audit

The audit is one deliverable; ongoing monitoring is the other. Every month we re-crawl, compare against baseline, flag regressions, and update the fix list. Search Console anomalies get triaged within 24 hours; algorithm updates get an impact assessment within a week.

Technical SEO is not a one-time project - sites drift. Ongoing monitoring keeps the foundation solid so your content and PR investments compound instead of eroding.

Frequently asked

Can you fix it, or just tell us what's wrong?
Both. Every audit ships with a fix list; we can implement or ride shotgun with your engineering team.
Do you handle JavaScript sites?
Yes - React/Next, Vue, and other JS frameworks are our sweet spot. Rendering audits are core to the work.
How is this different from SEO?
Technical is the plumbing; SEO strategy is the destination. This service is specifically the plumbing layer - no content or link building.
