Technical SEO Services
You Wouldn’t Build Your Home on a Floodplain
Where a lot of digital marketing is in a constant state of flux, whether that’s due to an updated Google algorithm or entry of a new device into the market, one thing remains for certain. A solid technical foundation is still the bedrock of any successful digital marketing campaign. A poor technical website structure will consistently undermine any additional marketing efforts you carry out so let us get your site in line.
Google holds technical adherence in such high regard because, nine times out of ten, bad technical SEO leads to a poor user experience. If you have broken links on-site they point your users to dead pages. If you have poorly optimised images they can lead to long load times. If a page doesn’t have a title tag it may also be hard for a user to understand what purpose it serves which is, you guessed it, poor user experience.
It’s important to never forget that Google is a business and their service is providing searches with the best quality, most relevant content possible. Good technical optimisation is one of the key ways they rate your website and decide whether they should serve it above a competitor’s.

But My Site Works Fine
To the untrained eye your website may work perfectly well. However, all you have to do is scratch below the surface (and know where to look) to start to uncover issues that could be damaging your website’s performance. Problems with technical SEO will start to accrue the moment a website goes live and is actively managed.
For example, can you be sure that for every page removed from your website a proper redirect was put in place? How about images? Can you guarantee that every picture uploaded to your website has been properly optimised? These may seem like small things but they add up to a greater whole which can cause serious issues with your online marketing efforts. Until a proper analysis is carried out you can’t be sure what issues may be affecting your website.
