Technical SEO and website performance

Search engines reward websites that are fast, well structured and genuinely useful. Many small business sites fall down on the technical basics, which holds back even great content.

We fix those foundations: speed, structure, metadata and accessibility, so your site is easy for both search engines and people to understand.

What we look at

A typical technical SEO audit covers:

  • Crawling and indexing: robots.txt, sitemaps, canonical URLs and redirects
  • Core Web Vitals: loading speed, layout stability and responsiveness on mobile
  • Page titles, descriptions, headings and internal linking
  • Structured data that helps search engines understand your business
  • Accessibility issues that also affect usability
  • Security and HTTPS configuration

Honest SEO

No one can guarantee a position in Google, and anyone who promises page one overnight is likely to use tactics that get sites penalised. We stick to what search engines recommend: a fast, accessible site, clear and genuinely helpful content, and accurate information about your business.

Performance first

Speed affects rankings, but it affects sales even more: visitors leave slow pages. We optimise images, fonts and scripts, and where an old theme is the problem we can rebuild the site so it is fast by design.

Measuring what matters

We help you set up Google Search Console, Bing Webmaster Tools and privacy-friendly analytics, so you can see which searches bring visitors and which pages turn them into enquiries.

FAQs

SEO & performance: common questions

How long does SEO take to work?

Technical fixes can show results within weeks, once search engines recrawl your pages. Building visibility for competitive terms takes longer and depends on your content and reputation.

Do you build backlinks?

We don’t buy links or use link schemes, which risk penalties. We can advise on earning genuine mentions, such as business directories, partners and useful content.

Can you improve the speed of my existing site?

Often, yes. We start with an audit to find what is slowing it down, then fix it in place or recommend a rebuild if that is better value.

Got an idea, or a process that’s eating your week?

Tell us about it. We’ll come back with honest advice on what’s worth doing, even if the answer is “not much”.
