Technical SEO

Technical SEO

Core Web Vitals, crawl optimisation, structured data, and site architecture deep-dives.

Technical SEO is the work that makes every other SEO investment actually count.

You can commission the best content in your category and still lose to a competitor whose site renders faster, whose internal linking surfaces the right pages, and whose structured data earns richer results in the SERP. The gap between sites that rank and sites that should rank is almost always technical - crawl waste, render-blocking scripts, broken canonicals, and a hundred quiet issues that accrue as engineering teams ship features without an SEO lens.

The articles in this section are written for the people who actually have to ship the fixes: in-house SEOs fighting for a sprint slot, developers inheriting a five-year-old Next.js codebase, and growth leads trying to work out whether the agency's latest audit is genuinely important or just a deliverable. We write in specifics - real tags, real queries, real diffs - rather than generic checklists.
