# Technical SEO

Technical SEO is the foundation everything else builds on. If Google can't crawl your site properly, your content and keywords won't matter. We audit, fix, and optimise the technical side so your site performs the way it should.

## What this includes

- **Site Speed Optimisation**: Faster load times mean better rankings and lower bounce rates. We optimise images, code, caching, and server response.
- **Core Web Vitals**: LCP, FID, and CLS. The metrics Google uses to measure user experience. We get them into the green.
- **Crawlability & Indexing**: Make sure Google can find and understand every important page on your site. Fix crawl errors, broken links, and orphan pages.
- **Schema Markup**: Structured data that helps search engines understand your content. Rich snippets, FAQs, reviews, and local business markup.
- **Mobile Optimisation**: Google indexes mobile-first. We make sure your site works perfectly on phones and tablets.
- **Technical SEO Audit**: A full review of your site covering crawl issues, indexing problems, speed, security, and structure. Prioritised recommendations you can act on.

- Site is slow or failing Core Web Vitals

## FAQ

### What is technical SEO?

Technical SEO covers everything behind the scenes that affects how search engines crawl, index, and rank your site. Speed, mobile-friendliness, structured data, security, and URL structure.

### How long does a technical SEO audit take?

Typically 1 to 2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your site. You get a full report with prioritised fixes.

### Do new websites need technical SEO?

Yes. Getting the technical foundation right from the start is much easier than fixing problems later. We can build SEO into your site from day one.

### What is the difference between technical SEO and regular SEO?

Regular SEO includes content, keywords, and backlinks. Technical SEO focuses specifically on the infrastructure. Site speed, crawlability, structured data, and Core Web Vitals. Both matter.
