Crawl budget wasted on irrelevant URLs
Faceted navigation, session parameters, and duplicate URL patterns force Google to crawl thousands of near-identical pages, leaving important content under-crawled.

What most sites get wrong
Technical issues are invisible until they cost you rankings.
Most sites have technical SEO problems that compound quietly over months. By the time rankings drop, the damage is already deep. These are the issues we find most often.
02
Indexation blockers hiding entire page types
Incorrect robots.txt directives, accidental noindex tags, or misconfigured canonical tags prevent valuable pages from appearing in search at all.
03
Core Web Vitals failures dragging rankings
Failing LCP, CLS, or INP scores are a confirmed Google ranking signal. Most sites have at least one critical failure they have never diagnosed.
04
Missing or broken schema markup
Structured data gaps mean Google cannot generate rich results for your pages, losing the star ratings, FAQs, and breadcrumb rich snippets that drive higher click-through rates.
05
Orphaned pages with no internal link equity
Product pages, service pages, and blog posts with no internal links receive no link equity and are harder for both users and search engines to find.
What our technical SEO audit covers
Five audit pillars. Every signal diagnosed.
We do not run an automated tool and hand you a score. Our technical SEO audit service combines professional crawl data, manual analysis, and senior SEO judgement across five diagnostic pillars, prioritised by revenue impact.
Crawlability & Indexation
We audit how search engine bots access your site and which pages are actually being indexed. Crawl traps, robots.txt errors, sitemap inconsistencies, and noindex issues are all flagged and prioritised.
Site Architecture & Internal Links
We review your URL structure, breadcrumb depth, internal link distribution, and orphaned page detection. Poor architecture prevents link equity from flowing to the pages that need it most.
Page Speed & Core Web Vitals
We measure LCP, CLS, and INP across your key page types using field data and lab data. We identify the specific elements causing failures and give your developer a clear list of what to fix.
On-Page Signals & Schema Markup
We review meta title and description coverage, heading structure, canonical tag implementation, and structured data gaps. Missing schema is one of the most consistent technical opportunities we find.
HTTPS, Security & Redirect Chains
We audit your SSL implementation, HSTS configuration, redirect chains, and broken link inventory. Each redirect chain is mapped so your developer can resolve it efficiently.
Prioritised Report + Video Walkthrough
Every issue is documented, explained in plain language, and assigned a priority level based on likely ranking impact. Pro tier and above includes a 60-minute video call to walk through every finding with your team.

What is a technical SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit is a systematic review of every technical factor that affects how search engines crawl, index, and rank your website. It covers site architecture, crawlability, indexation, page speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile-first signals, schema markup, redirect chains, HTTPS and security, internal linking, and duplicate content. The outcome is a prioritised list of issues, ranked by their likely impact on your rankings and traffic.
