Why it matters
Good businesses held back by their own websites.
Most small business sites have technical problems nobody can see from the front. Customers just find them slow. Google finds them hard to read, and ranks someone else.
- 01
Pages Google can't find
Important pages left out of the index, blocked by a setting or buried so deep that Google rarely visits them.
- 02
Slow on a phone
Heavy images, bloated themes and too many plugins. Visitors leave before the page loads, and Google notices.
- 03
No structured data
Nothing in the code telling Google what the business is, where it works and what it offers, so it has to guess.
- 04
Errors piling up
Broken links, redirect chains, duplicate pages and old URLs from a previous website that were never redirected.
What we check and fix
Everything Google reads before it ranks you.
A full audit first, then fixes in order of impact. On sites we build, all of this is done from day one.
- 01
Speed
Fast on a phone signal.
Core Web Vitals measured on real mobile conditions, then images, code, fonts and hosting sorted until pages load quickly.

Built in, not bolted on
Need a new site rather than a fix?
Sometimes an old site costs more to fix than to replace. Every website we build has all of this from the start, like the one we built for Holloway Electrical. Technical SEO is also part of every local SEO plan.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
What is technical SEO?
It's the work on your website's code and setup that helps Google find, load and understand your pages: speed, indexing, structured data, site structure and errors. Content and reviews matter too, but they can't make up for a site Google struggles to read.
Does site speed affect rankings?
Yes, as part of Google's page experience signals, and it affects whether visitors stay long enough to call. A slow site loses customers even when it ranks.
Can you work on my existing website?
Usually, yes. We work on WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify and custom sites. Some platforms limit what can be changed, and we'll tell you what's possible after the audit.
How long does it take to see results?
Fixes to indexing and errors can show within a few weeks of Google recrawling. Speed and structure improvements tend to build over a few months, especially alongside work on your Google profile and content.
Is it a one-off job?
The first round of fixes is, but sites change. Plugin updates, new pages and platform changes cause new problems, so we check every month as part of local SEO.
What access do you need?
Usually Search Console, Analytics and access to your website or hosting. You keep ownership of everything and can remove our access at any time.
