Technical SEO
If Search Engines Can’t Read It,
It Doesn’t Rank.
Technical SEO is not about blog posts or keywords. It is about the engineering of your website — the architecture, speed, structure, and signals that tell search engines and AI systems what your site is, what it contains, and whether it deserves to rank. Starting at $12,500.
The Problem
Why Good Content on a Broken Site Still Does Not Rank
Content quality is not enough if the technical foundation undermines how search engines and AI systems process your site.
Crawlability Issues
If Googlebot cannot efficiently crawl and index your pages, they do not rank — regardless of how good the content is. Robots.txt errors, noindex tags applied incorrectly, redirect chains, and crawl budget waste silently suppress your entire site.
Slow Load Times & Failed Core Web Vitals
Google uses Core Web Vitals — LCP, CLS, and INP — as direct ranking signals. A site that fails these metrics ranks below a technically compliant site even if the content is stronger. Mobile performance is the primary evaluation point.
Missing or Broken Schema Markup
Schema markup tells search engines exactly what your content is. Without it, you miss rich results, FAQ snippets, business information panels, and the structured data signals that AI systems use to understand and cite your site.
Duplicate Content & Canonical Problems
When multiple URLs serve the same content, search engines divide ranking authority across versions instead of concentrating it. Canonical tags configured incorrectly, URL parameters, and trailing slash inconsistency all create duplication.
Weak Site Architecture & Internal Linking
PageRank flows through internal links. A site without intentional internal linking architecture distributes authority inefficiently, leaving high-value pages under-supported and orphan pages invisible to crawlers.
Invisibility to AI Search Systems
AI Overviews, Perplexity, and ChatGPT pull from sites that have strong technical signals: clean crawl paths, accurate schema, fast load times, and clear semantic structure. Technical SEO is now the foundation of AI search visibility, not just traditional rankings.

Business Outcomes
What Technical SEO Actually Delivers
Every page you need indexed gets indexed. Googlebot crawls your site efficiently without wasting crawl budget on pages that should not be indexed and missing pages that should be.
Core Web Vitals improvements directly improve ranking position. A site that passes LCP, CLS, and INP thresholds has a measurable advantage in competitive search results over sites that do not.
Correct schema implementation makes your pages eligible for FAQ snippets, business information cards, review stars, and other rich result formats that increase click-through rate even at the same ranking position.
AI Overviews and AI search systems prefer sites with clean technical signals, accurate schema, and clear semantic structure. Technical SEO is the gateway to being cited by AI systems as an authoritative source.
A well-executed internal linking and canonical strategy concentrates your site’s authority onto the pages that matter most. Pages that deserve to rank get more authority signals, not less.
Technical SEO work produces a baseline that all future content benefits from. New pages inherit the infrastructure, schema patterns, and performance standards — so the investment compounds over time.
The Process
The Equation Method for Technical SEO
Technical SEO without a complete audit first produces fixes for the wrong problems. We diagnose before we prescribe.
Evaluate
Full technical crawl of your site using professional crawl tools. We analyze crawlability, indexability, page speed, Core Web Vitals, schema validity, internal linking, redirect structure, canonical tags, and sitemap health. Every issue is documented, categorized by severity, and prioritized by ranking impact.
Architect
We design the corrected technical architecture: new sitemap structure, canonical strategy, schema implementation plan, internal linking map, and performance optimization approach. All recommendations are documented and reviewed with your team before implementation begins.
Build
Implementation of all technical fixes: schema markup deployment, Core Web Vitals optimization, redirect cleanup, canonical tag corrections, sitemap updates, robots.txt refinement, and internal linking architecture implementation. Every change is documented.
Deploy
Changes are deployed to production with validation testing. Google Search Console is confirmed, sitemap is submitted, schema is validated in Rich Results Test, and Core Web Vitals are confirmed passing via PageSpeed Insights and CrUX data.
Optimize
Post-implementation monitoring via Google Search Console and analytics. We track indexation rate, crawl error resolution, Core Web Vitals improvement, and ranking movement. Additional optimization rounds are executed based on real data until targets are confirmed met.
Who This Is For
Technical SEO for Businesses That Need Their Site to Perform
Sites that experienced ranking drops following Google algorithm updates often have underlying technical issues that need diagnosis and remediation before rankings recover.
Businesses with slow websites, failed Core Web Vitals, or low PageSpeed scores that want to eliminate the performance penalty in search rankings and improve conversion rates.
Organizations building new websites that want to ensure the technical foundation is correct from launch — not six months later when they wonder why the new site is not ranking.
Online retailers with thousands of product pages, category structures, and dynamic URLs that require systematic technical SEO management to ensure search engines can efficiently crawl and index the catalog.
Companies investing in content creation that need a technically sound foundation to ensure each piece of content has a real chance to rank instead of being blocked by site-wide technical issues.
When the content is solid but the rankings are not, technical SEO is almost always the missing piece. Good content on a poor technical foundation underperforms consistently.
FAQ
Technical SEO — Common Questions
Content SEO focuses on what your pages say — keyword targeting, topic coverage, and the quality of the writing. Technical SEO focuses on how search engines access and understand your site — crawlability, indexability, site speed, schema markup, and architecture. Both matter. Technical SEO is the foundation that content SEO performs on top of.
A complete technical audit covers crawl analysis, indexation status, Core Web Vitals and page speed, schema markup validity, canonical tag configuration, internal linking structure, redirect chains, sitemap health, robots.txt directives, duplicate content, mobile usability, and structured data implementation across all page types.
A technical audit and remediation project typically runs 6 to 10 weeks. The audit phase takes 1 to 2 weeks. Implementation runs 4 to 6 weeks depending on the number and complexity of issues. Post-implementation monitoring runs an additional 4 to 6 weeks to confirm improvement and address any secondary issues.
Technical SEO services start at $12,500 for a full audit and remediation engagement. Ongoing technical SEO monitoring and maintenance can be scoped as a separate retainer following the initial engagement.
Core Web Vitals are Google’s metrics for measuring real-world page experience: Largest Contentful Paint (how fast the main content loads), Cumulative Layout Shift (how stable the layout is), and Interaction to Next Paint (how quickly the page responds to user input). Sites that pass these thresholds have a ranking advantage. Sites that fail are penalized in competitive search results.
Schema markup is structured data code added to a page that explicitly tells search engines what the content represents — a service, a business, an FAQ, an article, a product. Without schema, search engines guess. With schema, they know. Correct schema implementation improves rich result eligibility, AI search citation probability, and the accuracy of how your business appears in Knowledge Panels.
AI Overviews, Perplexity, and similar AI search systems index and cite sources based on technical quality signals: clean crawl paths, accurate schema, semantic HTML structure, and fast load times. A technically well-optimized site is significantly more likely to be cited in AI-generated answers than a site with technical issues, regardless of content quality.
Technical SEO is not a one-time fix — websites change, Google’s crawl behavior evolves, and new pages introduce new potential issues. An initial engagement establishes the correct foundation. Ongoing monitoring catches new issues before they compound into ranking problems. We can scope a maintenance retainer following the initial engagement.
