Build the right foundation.
Crawl → Index → Understand
Technical SEO
Technical problems matter when they stop important pages from being crawled, indexed, understood or converted.
We focus on issues that can materially affect performance, including:
- crawlability
- indexation
- rendering
- canonicalisation
- redirects
- duplicate pages
- broken internal links
- XML sitemaps
- site architecture
- structured data where appropriate
- mobile usability
- page performance where it creates a real problem
- migration and URL issues
We do not produce giant technical audits filled with defects nobody needs to fix.
The priority is what can actually block growth.
Site Architecture
Search engines need to understand which pages matter and how they relate.
Customers need to move through the site without having to decode the navigation.
We help organise the site around:
- services
- products
- locations
- commercial intent
- supporting topics
- customer journeys
- internal authority flow
That can involve:
- service hierarchies
- category structures
- location architecture
- supporting content clusters
- navigation improvements
- URL mapping
- internal-link planning
Every page should have a clear job.
If two pages are trying to rank for the same thing, one of them is usually unnecessary or incorrectly positioned.
Internal Linking
One of the highest-value improvements a site can make without buying more traffic.
Internal links help search engines understand:
- page importance
- topic relationships
- site hierarchy
- which page should rank for which query
They also help visitors move naturally from research into commercial pages.
We improve internal linking around:
- important money pages
- relevant supporting content
- authority already sitting on the site
- contextual anchor text
- topic clusters
- service hierarchies
- location relationships
The aim is to direct relevance and authority deliberately.
Not spray the same links across every page.
Cannibalisation
More pages can mean less clarity.
Sites often create several pages around similar services, locations or topics and expect them all to rank.
Instead, Google may keep switching between URLs or rank none of them particularly well.
We identify where pages are competing with each other and determine which URL should own each search cluster.
Fixes may include:
- changing page targeting
- rewriting titles and headings
- adjusting internal links
- consolidating content
- canonicalisation
- redirects where necessary
- removing pages that have no useful role
We prefer reversible changes before destructive ones.
Preserve the asset where possible.
