Sound Familiar?
Technical problems rarely announce themselves. They sit underneath your website, quietly limiting how much of it Google can find, understand and rank.
Rankings and visitors have slid away, and the usual quick fixes haven’t brought them back.
Search Console is full of “Discovered” and “Crawled, currently not indexed”, and important pages never appear.
Hundreds or thousands of pages, filters and categories, and a growing sense that Google is getting lost in them.
A new platform, domain or design launched, and your search traffic hasn’t been the same since.
What I Check
Every audit uses your Search Console data, a full crawl of your website and a proper look under the bonnet, whatever platform you’re on.
What You Get
Plenty of technical SEO audits are hundred-page exports from a tool. Mine are written by a person, prioritised by impact and explained in plain English.
Every issue explained in plain English, ranked by how much it’s likely to matter, so you know where to start.
We go through the findings together, and you can ask anything you like about what I’ve found.
Each issue comes with what to change and why, so your developer or platform support can get straight to work.
If your website is in good shape, I’ll say so. Not every website needs months of SEO work.
Pricing
The cost of a technical SEO audit depends on the size and complexity of your website. Tell me a little about it and I’ll give you a fixed price before I start. No hourly meter running.
Crawling, indexing, architecture, speed, redirects and structured data, all checked and explained.
Why Me
I’ve worked in SEO for most of the fifteen years I’ve been building websites, with a particular focus on technical SEO, site architecture and ecommerce, and I publish my own search research based on real data.

The Process
Four steps, and you’ll always know what’s happening and why.
Tell me about your website, your platform, what’s changed and what you’re hoping to achieve.
You give me access to Search Console and, ideally, analytics. Read-only is fine.
I crawl your whole website, review your data and dig into anything that looks out of place.
You get a prioritised report, and we go through it together so you know exactly what to do next.

Questions
Something else on your mind? Ring or WhatsApp me. You’ll get a real answer from me, not a sales script.
It depends on the size and complexity of your website. I’ll give you a fixed price once I know a little about it, before any work starts.
Access to Google Search Console is the most useful thing. Analytics access helps too. I don’t need to change anything on your website to carry out the audit.
If you’d like me to, yes. I’ll quote to fix everything in the report, or you can use it with your own developer. For ongoing help once the fixes are done, see my local SEO services.
Any platform. WordPress, WooCommerce and Shopify are the most common, but the same principles apply to custom-built websites and other systems.
A technical SEO audit covers any platform in depth. A WordPress SEO audit focuses on the settings, plugins and themes specific to WordPress websites.
It’s a good starting point. If the drop was sudden and severe, see Google penalty recovery as well.
Yes. Category structure, faceted navigation, product variants and crawl waste on large catalogues are some of the most common technical problems I look at.
Usually not. Most problems can be fixed on your current website. If a rebuild really is the better option, I’ll explain why, and a redesign keeps the rankings you already have.
