In our mind, technical SEO is simply the act of building a good, structurally sound website that search engines will approve of. We want it to be easy to navigate, and for search engines to go where we want, and not go where we don’t. It should be crawlable, usable and most of all, rankable.

    What Is Technical SEO?

     

    Technical SEO refers to optimising the technical aspects of your website so that search engines can crawl and index your site effectively. This can include everything from fixing broken links to updating XML sitemaps and improving the navigational structure of your site. You can think of it as the elements of SEO that happens behind the scenes so we tick all the boxes the search engines want us to. The end result of this will be a fast, functional website that visitors love to use.

    Does
    Technical SEO Matter?

    As much as we’d like them to be, websites aren’t always built with SEO best practices in mind. Slow loading speeds, complicated URL structures or incorrect canonical tags can all have a negative impact on your site’s visibility. And while our team are big fans of perfecting landing page copy and thinking up exciting link building campaigns, we get immense satisfaction on getting our hands on your code and squaring it all away.
