When technical issues start costing you visibility, revenue, or both
Audit-first technical SEO for brands dealing with traffic loss, migration damage, indexation problems, and international underperformance.
Most technical SEO problems don’t announce themselves clearly. Traffic falls after a redesign and nobody can agree on why.
Pages you know are important aren’t appearing in search. The team has a list of suspected issues but no way to rank them by commercial impact. These aren’t abstract SEO problems. They’re business problems with a technical root cause.

When technical SEO problems become business problems
Traffic dropped during or after a migration
Losses from a major rebuild, CMS change, or domain consolidation that haven’t recovered, or a replatform coming up where the team needs senior input before anything goes live.
Multiple markets, underperforming organic
The site operates across regions but organic performance doesn’t reflect where the business actually runs. International setups that should be driving revenue are pulling in the wrong audience, or none at all.
Technical debt with no clear picture
Years of accumulated changes where it’s no longer clear what’s working, what’s broken, or what’s indexing correctly. Key pages aren’t ranking despite content investment, and the problem isn’t the content.
Complex sites that need non-standard answers
Most technical SEOs can fix a slow page. Fewer can work through a 20-domain international setup, recover organic visibility after a botched migration, or untangle a multi-brand site estate where three CMS configurations are fighting each other.
Inclusions
What Technical SEO consulting covers
This isn’t a fixed package. What we work on is determined by the audit.
These are the capability areas we draw from.
Technical SEO Consulting
Crawl, Indexation, and crawl budget
For large or complex sites, Google’s ability to find and process pages efficiently has a direct effect on what ranks. We look at crawl efficiency, index bloat, orphaned pages, robots directives, XML sitemap integrity, and canonical conflicts, with particular focus on where crawl waste is actively suppressing pages that should be visible.
Migrations, replatforming, and redesign support
Migration risk is real and consistently underestimated. We work at every stage: pre-launch planning, redirect strategy, QA testing, launch monitoring, and post-migration recovery when losses have already occurred. The difference between a clean migration and a six-month recovery is almost always preparation and sequencing.
International technical SEO
Operating across markets is not the same as being discoverable across markets. We work through hreflang implementation, market targeting logic, subdomain versus subdirectory decisions, cross-market duplication, and the structural choices that determine whether each market gets treated as its own entity by search engines. A finance brand operating across five regions with one misconfigured hreflang setup can see four of those markets effectively invisible in search. That’s a revenue problem, not a technical footnote.
Performance and Core Web Vitals
Page speed and rendering quality affect both discoverability and conversion. We look at template-level performance issues, rendering bottlenecks, and technical constraints that create friction before a user reaches the content. Not every Core Web Vitals problem is worth fixing. We tell you which ones are.
Javascript SEO and rendering
Modern frameworks create specific crawl and indexation risks. Client-side rendered content that search engines never see, lazy-loaded elements that don’t get processed, SSR configurations that don’t behave as expected. We validate how search engines are actually rendering your pages, not just how they appear in a browser.
Structured data and schema
Schema is not a ranking factor in isolation. It is a way to help search engines correctly interpret what a page is about, what entities it contains, and how it should appear in results. We review existing markup, identify implementation errors, and define schema opportunities based on what the site is actually trying to communicate.
Log file analysis and technical diagnostics
Server logs show you what search engine bots are actually doing on your site, not what you assume they’re doing. Wasted crawl activity, unexpected bot behaviour, server response patterns, and pages that are being requested but never indexed. This is a layer of analysis that most surface audits miss entirely.
Multi-site and multi-brand architecture
Brands managing multiple domains, sub-brands, or market-specific sites face compounding duplication and authority dilution if architecture decisions aren’t deliberate. We work through consolidation decisions, template consistency, and domain-level structure with a view to what actually serves search performance across the estate.
Best Practice
XXXXXX What well-structured technical SEO looks like in practice
- The content team runs a monthly refresh cycle without waiting for senior direction.
- Reporting takes 20 minutes to review instead of four hours to compile.
- When a traffic drop appears in Search Console, the team has a framework for assessing whether it’s meaningful or normal variance within 30 minutes.
- AI tools are running in defined workflows with quality controls and intent validation built in. Volume is up. Content debt is not.
OUR PROCESS
How a Technical SEO engagement works
There is no standard package. There is no default retainer. What we do is shaped by what the site needs.
1: Diagnostic and scoping
We start by understanding the situation: the symptoms, the history, the team structure, and what’s already been tried. This shapes the depth and focus of the audit.
2: Prioritised Roadmap
The output of the audit is not a flat list of issues. It’s a prioritised plan tied to business impact and implementation reality: what moves first, what requires development resource, and what is not worth the effort right now.
3: Collaborative Rollout
We work alongside your marketing team, developers, IT, and any other stakeholders who need to be involved. We can support the process through delivery or hand off a clean brief for your team to run with.
Formula for Success
Who technical SEO consulting is right for
Who this is for
Marketing directors and digital leads who have inherited a technical situation nobody has properly diagnosed. Brands that have been through a migration or redesign and are watching traffic sit below where it was before.
In-house teams with the capability to implement but needing senior strategic input to decide what to prioritise. Agencies that need a specialist technical partner for a client whose site is more complex than their team’s usual remit.
Who this isn’t for
If you need someone to explain what a title tag is, this isn’t the right engagement.
If you need the fastest or lowest-cost option, we aren’t it.
If your strategy is sound and you need hands-on production only, we can point you in the right direction.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is technical SEO consulting?
The work of identifying and resolving the structural, crawl, rendering, and architecture issues that prevent a website from performing in search. It sits at the intersection of marketing, development, and systems, which is why it often falls through the cracks in organisations without a clear owner.
When do you need a technical SEO consultant?
When something changed and performance dropped. When the site has grown in complexity and nobody is sure what’s actually indexing correctly. When a migration is planned and the stakes are too high to improvise. When the in-house team has done what they can and needs a senior perspective on what’s left.
Can you help before or after a migration?
Both. Pre-migration work reduces the risk of traffic loss significantly. Post-migration work diagnoses what went wrong and builds a recovery plan. The earlier we’re involved, the easier the work is.
Do you work with in-house developers or agencies?
Yes. We work alongside whoever is responsible for implementation. We write technical briefs that developers can act on, and we can QA the output to make sure what was intended is what was built.
Can this be a one-off project rather than an ongoing retainer?
Yes. Many engagements are project-based: a migration audit, a technical diagnostic, an international architecture review. Ongoing consulting is available for teams that need it, but it’s never the default.
START BY SOLVING
Start with a diagnosis,
not a proposal
Every engagement begins with a rigorous audit of your site’s actual state.
No package menu, no assumptions, no activity for its own sake. Just a clear account of what’s holding your performance back and what it’s worth to fix it.
