Technical SEO Health Check

If search engines can’t properly crawl, understand or load your website, good content and links won’t get you far. A technical SEO health check finds what’s getting in the way and tells you what to fix first.

It’s written for people who run websites, not just developers, with notes your developer or agency can act on.

What gets checked

Crawling and site structure

How search engines move through your site: broken links, redirect chains, duplicate pages, canonical tags, internal linking and anything wasting their time.

Indexing

Whether the right pages are in Google, and the wrong ones aren’t. I look at Search Console reports, robots.txt, XML sitemaps and stray noindex tags.

Speed and Core Web Vitals

How quickly pages load and respond on real devices, measured with Google’s Core Web Vitals (LCP, INP and CLS), with the biggest causes of slowness identified.

Mobile and page experience

Whether the site works properly on phones, including layout problems, tap targets, intrusive pop-ups and content that differs from the desktop version.

Structured data

Checking existing schema markup for errors, and recommending what to add (such as organisation, product, FAQ or local business markup) where it helps search engines understand your pages.

GA4 and Search Console setup

Making sure Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console are installed and configured correctly, that key actions are being tracked, and that the data you’re relying on can be trusted.

How it works

  1. Access and background

    You tell me about the site and what it needs to do. I’ll ask for view-only access to Search Console and Analytics if you have them.

  2. Crawl and review

    I crawl the site and check it against Search Console data and tools such as Ahrefs and SEMrush.

  3. Your report and fixes

    You get the findings in priority order, with what to fix, why it matters and how much effort it is likely to take. I can work with your developer or agency, or help with the fixes myself.
