Technical SEO Without the Headache
Technical SEO is about getting the foundations right – how your site loads, how it's structured, and whether search engines can actually find and read it. If your site is slow, buried in Google, or missing from search entirely, I can usually pinpoint and fix the root causes quickly.
I carry out detailed audits and explain what’s broken in plain English. That might include crawl errors, broken links, poor Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS), unoptimised code, or duplicate content issues. You’ll get a prioritised list of problems and clear advice on what matters most.
Technical SEO isn’t just for big sites. Many of my clients run smaller WordPress or Joomla sites and just need things fixing properly no fluff, no SEO theatre. If needed, I’ll also tie in your analytics setup to help you measure improvements over time.
Need help with hosting or email issues too? I can link your technical SEO fixes with website hosting, email deliverability, and ongoing digital support all without third-party delays or confusion.
No hype. No jargon. Just fixes that help your site work better and get seen properly.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my website has technical SEO issues?
If your site is slow to load, buried in search results, or not indexing properly, it may have technical problems. I can run a quick review and explain what’s going on.
Can you fix Core Web Vitals issues?
Yes, I work with businesses to improve LCP, CLS and other metrics that Google uses to evaluate performance. This includes script clean-up, layout fixes and speed improvements.
Do you offer link building or off-page SEO?
No, I don’t provide backlink services. Many off-page SEO tactics are risky, spammy or offer little long-term value. I focus on fixing your website directly, where it matters most.
Does technical SEO help with AI tools like ChatGPT or Gemini?
Yes. AI systems rely on clear, well-structured websites to identify trustworthy sources. Good technical SEO makes it more likely that your business is recognised and referenced by AI tools.
Will this improve my Google rankings?
It can. Technical SEO ensures your site can be crawled, understood and indexed properly. It lays the foundation for any successful search strategy, but it works best alongside good content.
Is this a one-off service or ongoing support?
It can be either. Some clients just want a one-time audit and fix, while others include technical SEO in their monthly support plan alongside hosting and content updates.
Do you work with WordPress only?
No, I also work with Joomla, static HTML sites and custom-built platforms. If I can access the code, I can usually fix the problem.
