Crawling and Indexing
Our analysis identifies and resolves issues that prevent search engine bots from efficiently navigating and indexing your site. Auditing and correctly configuring your robots.txt and XML sitemaps ensures your content is accessible, improving visibility and search rankings.
Site Architecture and Internal Linking
Optimising site structure and internal linking creates an intuitive layout that enhances user experience and SEO performance. A well-organised site ensures that most important content is easily accessible. It also improves crawl efficiency and distributes page authority, which boosts overall search engine rankings.
Site Speed and Performance
Page speed optimisation, including image compression and server enhancements, significantly reduces load times, leading to better SEO, increased user satisfaction, and higher conversion rates. Monitoring and improving Core Web Vitals ensures key aspects of loading, interactivity, and visual stability meet search engine standards.
Mobile Optimisation
It’s important that your site is responsive and performs well on various devices for enhanced mobile user experience and mobile search rankings. Mobile usability testing identifies and resolves device-specific issues, ensuring seamless access across all screen sizes.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) Implementation
Configuring HTTPS secures data between the user’s browser and your website, building trust and significantly boosting search engine rankings. A secure site is vital for protecting user information and maintaining regulatory compliance.
Server and Log File Analysis
Optimising your URL structure makes it more search-engine friendly and leads to better discoverability. Properly implementing redirects, such as 301 redirects, maintains link equity and prevents issues like redirect chains, which can negatively impact SEO.
URL, Redirect and Error Management
Identifying and fixing 404 errors and other broken links improves user experience and prevents search engines from penalising your site. Regularly monitoring webmaster tools helps track and resolve emerging technical issues efficiently.
Content and Schema Markup
Conducting a content audit identifies opportunities for SEO improvements, ensuring your content is fully optimised. Implementing schema markup helps search engines understand your content better, enhancing search visibility and enabling rich results.
Error Resolution
Identifying and fixing 404 errors and other broken links improves user experience and prevents search engines from penalising your site. Regularly monitoring webmaster tools helps track and resolve emerging technical issues efficiently.
Security and Compliance
Performing security audits ensures your site is protected against vulnerabilities, while compliance checks ensure you meet data protection regulations, such as GDPR. This builds user trust and encourages search engines to rank your site more favourably.

What is a technical SEO audit and why is it important?
A technical SEO audit comprehensively evaluates a website’s technical aspects that impact its performance and visibility in search engines. It identifies site speed, crawlability, indexing, mobile optimisation, security, and more issues. Conducting a technical SEO audit helps ensure that search engine bots can effectively crawl and index the site, leading to better search rankings and improved user experience.
How often should a technical SEO audit be conducted?
Ideally, a technical SEO audit should be performed at least twice a year. However, for websites undergoing frequent updates or experiencing significant changes, more frequent audits (quarterly) are recommended. Regular audits help keep the site optimised and compliant with the latest search engine algorithms, ensuring consistent performance and ranking.
What are some common issues identified in a technical SEO audit?
Common issues found during a technical SEO audit include broken links (404 errors), slow page load times, improper use of robots.txt, missing or outdated XML sitemaps, non-optimised URL structures, and lack of mobile responsiveness. Other issues may include SSL certificate errors, poor internal linking, and the absence of schema markup, which can negatively impact SEO.
How long does a technical SEO audit take to complete?
The duration of a technical SEO audit can vary depending on the website’s size and complexity. Generally, a thorough audit can take a few days to a few weeks. Detailed analysis involves multiple steps, including crawling the site, checking server logs, reviewing site architecture, and identifying areas for improvement.
What happens after a technical SEO audit is completed?
After completing a technical SEO audit, the findings are compiled into a comprehensive report. This report includes identified issues and actionable recommendations for improvement, such as optimising site speed, fixing broken links, updating sitemaps, enhancing mobile usability, and improving overall site security. Continuous monitoring and follow-up audits ensure that these improvements are maintained over time.
