Frequently asked questions
Common questions about technical SEO audits. If you have a specific question not covered here, feel free to get in touch.
A comprehensive technical SEO audit covers: crawlability (robots.txt, sitemaps, crawl errors), indexing (indexed pages, noindex tags, canonical issues), site structure (URL hierarchy, internal linking, navigation), schema markup (structured data validation), page speed (Core Web Vitals, LCP, FID, CLS), mobile performance, HTTPS/security, redirects (301 chains, broken links), and duplicate content. The audit examines all technical factors that affect how search engines crawl, understand, and rank your site.
Most technical SEO audits are completed within 3-5 business days. Small sites (up to 50 pages) typically take 2-3 days. Medium sites (50-500 pages) take 3-5 days. Larger sites with complex architectures may take 5-7 days. I will provide a specific timeline based on your website size and complexity after initial review.
The audit delivers a detailed report identifying and prioritising issues with clear recommendations and implementation guidance. You can use this report with your existing development or SEO team. Alternatively, I can implement the fixes as a separate engagement - many clients choose this option for complex technical issues requiring developer expertise.
Ideally, I need access to Google Search Console (for crawl data, indexing status, and search performance) and Google Analytics (for traffic analysis). However, I can conduct a thorough audit with just your website URL if access is not available. Admin access to your CMS or hosting is not required for the audit itself.
Technical SEO is a foundation - it enables your content to rank but does not guarantee specific positions. Fixing technical barriers removes obstacles preventing search engines from properly crawling and indexing your content. This gives your site the best chance to rank well for relevant queries, but content quality, relevance, and competition also affect rankings.
Yes. I audit all website types and platforms including WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, custom builds, enterprise sites, and any CMS. Technical SEO principles apply universally, though specific recommendations vary by platform. I have experience with major CMS platforms and custom frameworks.
