SEO AUTOPSY
Your site might look fine on the surface — but underneath, it's bleeding ranking potential. Crawl errors, bloated JavaScript, broken internal links, slow load times. Google sees what you don't. We fix it.
What It Is
THE FOUNDATION EVERYTHING ELSE DEPENDS ON
Technical SEO is the infrastructure layer of your website — the part that determines whether Google can actually find, crawl, understand, and rank your content. You can publish the best articles in your industry, but if Googlebot can't access them or your page speed scores are in the red, they'll never reach page one.
In 2025, technical SEO is more complex than ever. Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking signal. JavaScript-heavy frameworks create crawl traps. AI Overviews favor sites with clean structured data. Mobile-first indexing means your mobile experience is your SEO experience.
A technical SEO audit isn't a one-time PDF — it's a diagnostic process that identifies the specific issues costing you rankings, prioritizes them by impact, and tracks improvement after fixes are implemented.
What We Audit
- ✓ Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP)
- ✓ Crawlability & indexation health
- ✓ XML sitemap & robots.txt configuration
- ✓ Site architecture & internal linking
- ✓ Schema markup & structured data
- ✓ Duplicate & thin content detection
- ✓ Mobile usability & responsive issues
- ✓ HTTPS, redirect chains & broken links
- ✓ Canonical tags & hreflang implementation
- ✓ JavaScript rendering & crawl budget
How It Works
OUR 4-PHASE
TECHNICAL PROCESS
-
01
DEEP CRAWL & DIAGNOSTIC
We run a full-site crawl using Screaming Frog, cross-reference with Google Search Console data, and run PageSpeed Insights across your highest-traffic pages. This builds a complete map of every technical issue — from broken links and missing meta tags to JavaScript rendering failures and crawl budget waste.
-
02
PRIORITIZED IMPACT SCORING
Not all technical issues are equal. A single misconfigured robots.txt can block your entire site. A few extra redirect hops on low-traffic pages barely matter. We score every issue by its ranking impact and implementation complexity, giving you a clear sequence of what to fix first for maximum ROI.
-
03
IMPLEMENTATION & VERIFICATION
We work directly with your dev team or implement fixes ourselves depending on your setup. Every fix is verified — we re-run crawls after implementation to confirm issues are resolved, not just patched. Schema markup changes are validated through Google's Rich Results Test. Speed improvements are benchmarked in field data.
-
04
MONITORING & RE-AUDIT
Technical health degrades as sites grow. New pages get added, redirects stack up, new JavaScript components introduce render-blocking scripts. We set up ongoing monitoring through Search Console alerts and schedule quarterly re-audits to catch regressions before they compound into ranking drops.
What's Included
EVERY TECHNICAL
SEO DELIVERABLE
TECHNICAL AUDIT REPORT
A prioritized, actionable report — not a 200-page PDF of screenshots. Every issue has an explanation, an impact score, and a concrete fix instruction.
CORE WEB VITALS FIX
LCP, CLS, and INP improvements. Image optimization, server response time, layout shift fixes, and render-blocking resource elimination.
SCHEMA MARKUP IMPLEMENTATION
Organization, Article, Product, FAQ, BreadcrumbList, and service-specific schema types — implemented correctly and validated against Google's requirements.
CRAWL BUDGET OPTIMIZATION
Identify and eliminate crawl budget waste — faceted navigation traps, low-quality URLs, parameter-based duplicates — so Googlebot spends its time on pages that matter.
SITE ARCHITECTURE REVIEW
URL structure, internal link equity distribution, silo architecture alignment, and click depth analysis — making sure your most important pages are closest to the surface.
MOBILE-FIRST AUDIT
Since Google indexes your mobile version first, we audit mobile UX, tap targets, viewport configuration, and mobile-specific speed issues separately from desktop.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED
-
What does a technical SEO audit include?+A comprehensive technical SEO audit covers crawlability and indexation issues, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), site speed analysis, XML sitemaps and robots.txt configuration, internal linking structure, duplicate content detection, schema markup validation, mobile usability, HTTPS and security checks, and structured data implementation. We use tools like Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights to build a complete picture of your technical health.
-
How long does it take to see results from technical SEO?+Technical SEO improvements can show results faster than content or link building — sometimes within 4–8 weeks. This is because fixing crawl errors, indexation issues, or Core Web Vitals directly removes barriers that are actively suppressing your rankings. The full impact depends on how frequently Google crawls your site. Larger sites with strong domain authority typically see faster responses to technical changes.
-
What are Core Web Vitals and why do they matter for SEO?+Core Web Vitals are Google's user experience metrics: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures loading speed, Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures visual stability, and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures responsiveness. Google uses these as ranking signals. Sites that fail Core Web Vitals thresholds may rank lower than competitors that pass. Passing all three signals that your site provides a strong user experience — which Google increasingly weights alongside traditional SEO signals.
-
Can a technical SEO audit fix a Google penalty?+Technical audits can identify and resolve issues causing algorithmic penalties — thin content, duplicate pages, slow load times, crawlability failures. Manual penalties require a reconsideration request to Google after fixing the underlying issues. We diagnose the root cause of any traffic drops, determine whether it's algorithmic or manual, and build the recovery plan accordingly. Most algorithmic recoveries resolve within 1–3 months post-fix.
-
Do I need a developer to implement technical SEO fixes?+Some technical fixes — like adding schema markup, updating meta tags, or creating/updating a sitemap — can be done directly in your CMS without a developer. Others, like optimizing JavaScript rendering, fixing server response times, or implementing critical CSS, do require development resources. We identify which fixes need a developer and which don't, and can provide exact implementation code to hand off to your dev team.
