What a Technical SEO Agency Actually Fixes
Four layers, in dependency order. Each one caps the layers above it, which is why we audit and fix in this sequence; the full checklist lives in what our technical SEO audit checks.
- Crawling and indexing: index coverage, redirect chains, orphaned pages and crawl budget waste, plus the robots rules that decide which AI crawlers can ever cite you.
- Rendering: what a bot actually sees. JavaScript-heavy builds routinely serve machines an empty shell; our headless SEO teardown shows how sites become invisible without anyone noticing.
- Speed and stability: Core Web Vitals benchmarked against the competitors outranking you, because slow sites get crawled less and abandoned more.
- Machine-readable data: schema, entity consistency and internal linking, so Google and AI systems get one unambiguous story about who you are and what you sell.
Why It Matters More in the AI Era
AI retrieval bots are less patient than Googlebot. A page that renders slowly or hides content behind JavaScript is not penalised by AI systems; it is skipped entirely, which means it can never appear in an AI answer. Technical SEO used to be about rankings. Now it is the entry ticket to being cited at all, the foundation layer of AI SEO.
Proof, Not Promises
Amaze's rebuild is the clearest example: foundations re-engineered, average position improved 21 places year on year, organic clicks up 297% in 90 days. 2XU's programmatic overhaul scaled technical fixes across thousands of product pages into measurable revenue growth; for online stores that work is ecommerce SEO for large catalogues. Every engagement opens with a measured baseline so the result is attributable, never anecdotal.
How an Engagement Runs
1. Free visibility audit: a scored report across all four layers, with evidence for every finding and a ranked fix list.
2. Foundations sprint: the fixes, in priority order, shipped as fixed-scope project work.
3. Guard rails: monitoring so regressions are caught before they cost rankings; technical SEO is a regression suite, not a one-off.
Pricing runs on the tiers on our services page; technical foundations are the entry tier.
