Quick answer
What is technical SEO? The UK’s leading SEO company explains.
Technical SEO is the work of making sure search engines can find, load and understand every important page on your website. It deals with things visitors rarely notice, like page speed, broken links, duplicate pages and the code that tells Google what a page is about. When these are wrong, even great content struggles to rank.
Your website could have the best content in your industry and still not rank if Google can’t read it. Technical SEO deals with the build behind the pages.
What an SEO audit finds
The problems are usually invisible from the outside. A setting left over from the build that tells Google to ignore the whole site. Hundreds of near-identical pages created by the filters on your shop. Images so large that your homepage takes eight seconds to load on a phone. A redesign that changed every web address without telling Google where the old ones went.
None of this shows up when you click around your own site, which is why it gets missed. A full SEO audit finds it with the same kind of tools Google uses, then checks what it finds against Search Console, Google’s free tool for site owners.
Our SEO audit services
Every audit ends with a short, clear fix list, biggest problems first, with what each one is costing you. Then we fix them. We can make the changes on most website platforms, or hand a clear list to your developer and check their work afterwards. Ecommerce sites get an ecommerce SEO audit covering filters, product variants and duplicate pages.
Working with a technical SEO agency
Technical SEO isn’t a one-off job. Plugins update, pages get added and new problems creep in. As your technical SEO agency, we re-scan your site regularly and catch issues before they cost you traffic. Technical work is part of every SEO plan from the All-in-One plan upwards, and it’s the foundation that GEO AI search optimisation builds on.

FAQ
Technical SEO: frequently asked questions
What do your SEO audit services include?
It's a full check of how your website is built, looking for anything that stops Google finding, loading or understanding your pages. You get a list of problems in order of importance, with a simple explanation of how to fix each one. A full audit is included when you start any of our plans.
Do you make the fixes or just tell me what's wrong?
Either. We can make the changes ourselves on most website platforms, or give your developer a clear list and check their work afterwards.
Which website platforms do you work with?
We work with WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and custom-built sites. If you're on something else, tell us and we'll say honestly whether we can help.
Can you help with a website move or redesign?
Yes, and it's best to talk to us before the new site goes live. Moving pages without pointing the old addresses to the new ones is one of the most common reasons businesses lose rankings overnight. Site moves are quoted separately, depending on the size of the site.
How much does an SEO audit cost?
A full SEO audit is included when you start any of our plans, from £180 a month on the All-in-One plan. We also run a free, shorter audit before you sign up, so you can see what we'd fix first.
How does Google judge how fast my site is?
Google uses three measures: how fast the main content appears, how quickly the page reacts to a tap or click, and whether the layout shifts about as it loads. Poor scores can hold you back, especially against close competitors.
How quickly will I see results from technical fixes?
Often within weeks, once Google has visited the fixed pages again. Big problems, like important pages being hidden from Google, can show results very quickly once they're fixed. Smaller fixes add up more gradually.
