Technical SEO Consulting: Crawlability, Speed, and Structured Data That Actually Get Fixed
Most sites have the same set of problems: pages that should be indexed are not, Core Web Vitals fail on the templates that matter most, and GA4 event data does not reconcile with what the dev team thinks is firing. We audit each layer specifically, then fix the issues that affect organic performance and revenue reporting.
Crawl and indexation issues diagnosed and fixed, not just reported
Design Thinking + GA4 & Tag Manager insights
Fixes validated against CrUX field data and GSC before the engagement closes
What’s Holding Your Rankings Back
These three problems appear in the majority of accounts we audit. Each suppresses organic performance independently. When all three are present, they also corrupt the analytics data used to measure everything else.
-
Crawl & Indexation Gaps
Thin/duplicate pages, broken canonicals, and poor sitemap hygiene stop the right URLs from being discovered and indexed.
-
Core Web Vitals
Slow LCP, layout shifts (CLS), and interactivity delays drag down UX scores and search performance.
-
Tracking Chaos
Messy GA4/Tag Manager setups, missing events, and fragmented data layers make it impossible to trust what the numbers are telling you.
Our Approach: Audit Every Layer, Fix in Priority Order
A site can have strong content and still not rank because Googlebot cannot reach the right pages, Core Web Vitals fail on the templates that generate most traffic, or the GA4 data used to make decisions is recording the wrong events. We audit each of those layers in sequence, set a measurable baseline, and fix the issues in the order that produces the fastest improvement in crawl coverage and organic sessions.
Our Methodology
The Design Thinking SEO Loop
These three problems appear in the majority of accounts we audit. Each suppresses organic performance independently. When all three are present, they also corrupt the analytics data used to measure everything else. This loop keeps SEO work moving from user insight → clear diagnosis → focused execution → measurable impact.

AI-First Technical SEO: Entity Coverage, Schema, and Answer Block Structure
Google AI Overviews select content based on entity clarity, structured schema, and answer block structure. A site that ranks well in traditional search but has no FAQ schema, incomplete entity definitions, and no summary content rarely appears in AI Overviews for the same queries. This work sits on top of the technical foundation and addresses those specific gaps. It integrates entity strategy, clean tracking, and answer-focused content patterns.
Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
FAQ sections, summary paragraphs, and definition blocks structured to match the content patterns AI Overviews extract when building a direct answer for a query.
Entity & Schema Expansion
Strengthen entities with schema, internal links, and contextual signals so AI systems connect your brand confidently.
Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
Template and cluster structure designed so generative AI tools can find, cite, and summarise your content when a user asks a category or comparison question.
Client Outcomes
Proof and Results
Each result below traces to a specific technical fix: a canonical correction, a Core Web Vitals improvement on a high-traffic template, or a schema implementation that increased rich result impressions.
B2B SaaS & IT
+38% increase in indexed pages in 45 days by fixing canonicals, sitemaps, and crawl traps.

“The technical SEO overhaul cut bloat, clarified site architecture, and unlocked steady discovery without adding content for the sake of it.”

“Clear dashboards and prioritised issue lists made budget decisions straightforward. We could show leadership exactly which fixes moved organic sessions and which were maintenance. That distinction changed how the team planned its sprint backlog.”

Technical SEO: Common Questions
Short, practical answers to common questions about audits, timelines, and implementation.
A Technical SEO audit evaluates how efficiently search engines can crawl, index, and understand your website. It includes crawl and indexation analysis, Core Web Vitals assessment, site architecture and internal linking review, canonical and robots validation, structured data checks, and analytics integrity verification using GA4 and Tag Manager. For a step-by-step checklist, see our
Technical SEO checklist.
Technical SEO improvements typically produce the first measurable signals within 30 to 45 days: crawl-to-index ratio improves, GSC errors drop, and Core Web Vitals move in CrUX data. Ranking and traffic changes follow, with timing depending on site authority and how frequently Googlebot visits your templates. See our Technical SEO and Analytics framework for the full measurement methodology.
Yes. We collaborate directly with in-house or external development teams and support WordPress, Shopify, headless CMS, and custom stacks. Our recommendations are delivered as implementation-ready tickets, code snippets, and QA checklists. Tracking alignment during implementation is handled via
Tag Manager & Analytics Architecture.
We fix them, not just report them. The team diagnoses Core Web Vitals issues and works through the fix with your development team: image sizing, JavaScript execution order, critical CSS delivery, CDN configuration, and template changes. Improvements are validated against CrUX field data before the engagement closes. Practical background is in our Core Web Vitals for marketers guide.
We measure success in two stages. Leading indicators confirm the technical fix worked: crawl-to-index ratio, GSC error count, Core Web Vitals in CrUX. Outcome metrics confirm it translated to organic performance: qualified sessions, conversion rate from organic, and assisted revenue attributed to SEO changes in GA4. Schema implementation is tracked separately via rich result impressions. See our Schema markup guide for the full structured data methodology.
Yes. Ongoing programs include scheduled crawl runs, GSC anomaly alerts, Core Web Vitals tracking in CrUX, and quarterly roadmap reviews that reprioritise fixes as the site evolves. When AI Overview visibility is also a goal, this work connects directly to our AI-First SEO (AEO and GEO) service.
