Build a Strong Site Foundation With Technical SEO Services

Technical SEO is like the foundation of your home, if it’s not sturdy, you won’t have much to stand on. Don’t let your website subside, learn more about how partnering with a leading technical SEO agency can help you build a strong foundation for your business’s website.

What Is Technical SEO? And Why Is It Important For Your Business?

Technical SEO is the foundation that allows your website to perform at its best in search engine rankings by optimising elements behind the scenes, and if done correctly, it’ll help enhance your organic visibility site-wide whilst also protecting you from nasty post-algorithm surprises.

It focuses on ensuring that search engines can easily find, crawl and index your sites pages. Without a strong technical foundation, all of your content/products, no matter how brilliant they are, won’t have their time in the limelight. 

Technical SEO also encompasses behind the scene work that helps improve wider performance metrics like site load speed, which improves user experience, reduces bounce rates and contributes to several smaller ranking factors. It also ensures correct site maintenance and prevents any negative site quality signals being sent to Google – for example, having a large number of 404s may signal a poorly maintained site, which may deter Google from ranking your site higher for your target terms.

Meet Shane Parkins, One of Our Technical SEO Specialists & Our MD

Finding technical SEO issues on your site is only one third of the process, identifying what to fix and how to fix it, for the highest commercial impact, is where we add significant value. Most technical SEO experts will regurgitate what SEO tools are telling them, we’re a different breed – we get right under the code of your site and be as in-depth as required. Above all else, we can effectively communicate technical aspects to clients in a way they understand, highlighting the potential impact of fixes and simplifying what can be done to fix issues.

Climb & Conquer Leadership Team

A Technical SEO Agency Focusing on The Bigger Picture Maximising Business Impact

We’re a cohesive search agency and look at the bigger picture and overarching business goals when providing our clients with technical seo services. We’re aware of how our work may positively impact other channels outside of SEO. For example, did you know that working on technical SEO can help other areas of your business, such as Google Ads? Often the tech fixes we implement can help improve wider user experience, loading speed and site bottlenecks, helping you achieve higher ad scores. 

Technical SEO is a core part of our SEO Service, ensuring it amplifies the wider work we are doing on client sites. We also work with some clients specifically to address technical SEO issues.

Prevention Is Key, Don’t Wait for Your House to Crumble

A lot of clients will only get in touch when there is a problem – frantically searching for terms like “Does changing hosting impact SEO” or “Website ranking loss audit” – when the damage is probably done and needs a claw-back plan – being proactive with technical SEO will pay dividends to your online visibility in search.

How We Make The Magic Happen

This foundational step evaluates everything from the indexability of your website to fundamental issues holding back its visibility. Our audit identifies both critical errors and opportunistic changes that can enhance performance. It’s powered by a combination of in-depth crawls, advanced SEO software, and an analysis of CMS-specific issues to ensure no detail is overlooked. The full list of checks is as below:

  • Crawling/Indexing (including how crawl bots are interacting with your site)
  • XML Sitemaps
  • Site load speed/core web vitals
  • Google Penalties 
  • Robots.txt
  • Backend CMS settings
  • Page status’ / Isolated pages
  • Canonical tags
  • Page Rendering
  • Schema
  • Plagiarism/Duplication
  • Href tag issues 
  • Spam Injection
  • Parameter handling

Often stepping outside of the traditional technical audit of SEO – an observational manual audit will identify unique issues and opportunities for your website/CMS and will also likely enhance user experience (UX).

Finding issues is the easy part—knowing how to address them in a commercially viable way is where we add real value. Many SEO experts will provide recommendations over the full site without considering if the page is actually viable (or if it’s worth spending time, effort or money on). 

Using tools like page impact reports, clustering, and content audits, we create a prioritised document that simplifies remedial work while focusing on fixes with the highest commercial impact. We also tether every recommendation to the cost and benefit of implementation, ensuring you get maximum return on investment.

Additionally, depending on our findings, we may recommend incorporating complementary services like SEO content development to address issues such as content duplication.

Once the strategy is finalised, we get to work deploying it. We prioritise our workload based on the impact it will have on your website and business.
