Technical SEO Agency

Never judge a book by its cover. It’s what’s on the inside that counts!

A website can look great on the front end, but if the technical bits behind the scene are not optimised, you can run into some major problems with Google and the user experience.

This is where Technical SEO steps in;

Technical SEO refers to anything you do that makes your site easier for search engines to crawl and index. It is the bridge between marketing and development – and what helps them speak to each other.

Why is Technical SEO important?

Technical SEO is one of the three core SEO strategies, supporting your content strategies, (on-page SEO), and link building strategies, (off-page SEO), that work in tandem to help your pages rank highly in search.

If your website isn’t visible to Google, there is no way Google can rank it, meaning your site will see very little traffic. Technical SEO lays the foundation for Google to ‘crawl’ your site. In simple terms, technical SEO speaks to Google, so it understands the purpose of your pages, then will rank them accordingly. Without a strong Technical SEO foundation, your content will not even make a whisper to Google.

Technical SEO Principles

Our Technical SEO approach can be broken down into 5 principles:

Crawlability

This should be the bottom level of the foundation of any SEO strategy. Tasks at this level ensure that all of the important pages are accessible and easy to navigate for Google’s algorithm. This includes optimising site architecture, implementing an XML sitemap & URL structure, and breadcrumb menus.

Indexability

Once a site can be crawled, Google then begins indexing pages based on their topic and relevance. These checks ensure your page is eligible to rank on SERPs. This can include redirects, removing duplicate content, mobile responsiveness, and HTTP errors.

Renderability

An accessible site is based on ease of rendering, when Google bots retrieve your pages, run your code, and assesses your content to understand the layout or structure of your site. This requires checks on your server performance, HTTP status, load time and page speed, Javascript, page depth, and more.

Rankability

Here is where we really concentrate on how to improve ranking from a technical SEO standpoint. We look at on-page and off-page SEO through a technical lens, and we inspect internal and external linking, backlink quality, and content clusters.

Clickability

While CTR does depend on searcher intent, there are some technical things you can do to improve your clickability. Structured data on pages and optimising for SERP features and featured snippets, to name a few.
