Is your website holding back your rankings without you even knowing it? Our technical SEO services uncover and fix the hidden issues that silently impact visibility, speed, and overall performance.
From crawl errors to site speed bottlenecks, these behind-the-scenes problems can stop a business from ever reaching its full potential. Without ensuring your website is search engine-friendly, fast, secure, and built to scale, your SEO strategy is only half complete.
As a trusted technical SEO agency in Manchester, we bring the tools, insights, and proven expertise to future-proof your site, so your content, traffic, and conversions have the best chance to grow.
Work with usTechnical SEO refers to the optimisation of your website’s infrastructure to ensure it can be easily crawled, indexed, and understood by search engines. Essentially, it’s the engine room of your site, impacting everything from speed and structure to security and mobile usability. While on-page SEO focuses on content and keywords, technical SEO handles the performance, architecture, and code-level elements that directly influence how your site performs in search results.
Without solid technical SEO, even the best content can remain invisible. Search engines like Google have become increasingly sophisticated, and small technical problems can lead to major ranking losses. Here are some more reasons why technical SEO is essential for your digital success:
If search engines can’t access or understand your content, it won’t rank—simple as that. Technical SEO ensures your site architecture, sitemaps, and robot directives are correctly set up for smooth crawling and indexing.
A slow website drives users away and hurts your rankings. Technical SEO optimises speed-related elements like server response time, image loading, and Core Web Vitals to boost performance and keep users engaged.
With Google prioritising mobile-first indexing, your mobile site must be responsive and fast. Technical SEO ensures a seamless mobile experience, which is critical for both rankings and conversion rates.
Issues like broken links, duplicate content, redirect chains, and security warnings can harm your visibility. Technical SEO identifies and resolves these problems before they negatively affect your traffic or credibility.
An aesthetically pleasing website is enough, right? Think again! At Candidsky, our job is to make sure your website is performing at its very best to generate real return on investment. As part of your broader SEO strategy, our expert-led technical SEO services peel back the layers of your site’s infrastructure and performance, working seamlessly alongside SEO content, website migrations, local SEO, and e-commerce SEO to deliver a search-friendly and secure site built to last.
We run comprehensive audits across 180+ data points to identify everything from crawl errors and redirects to duplicate content and page speed issues. You get a detailed blueprint of what’s hurting your SEO and how to fix it.
We ensure your site is easy for search engines to crawl and index. From robots.txt to crawl depth, it is all about optimising your setup so that valuable pages are found, prioritised, and surfaced in search results.
Our team optimises performance metrics like Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), First Input Delay (FID), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), helping your site meet Google’s Core Web Vitals standards and deliver a lightning-fast user experience.
With mobile-first indexing, your mobile site is now your main site. We make sure it’s responsive, fast, and easy to navigate, offering users and search engines the smoothest experience possible.
We design logical, scalable site structures that improve internal linking and crawl flow. A clean architecture supports content discoverability, simplifies navigation for users, and lays the groundwork for future SEO campaigns.
By implementing structured data, we help search engines better understand your content and unlock rich results like FAQs, reviews, events, and AI Overviews—giving your site extra visibility in the SERPs.
Security is a ranking factor. We ensure your site runs securely on HTTPS, and that SSL certificates, mixed content, and other trust indicators are fully optimised for SEO performance.
UX is now a critical SEO signal. We improve layout, accessibility, interaction design, and load speed to reduce bounce rates and improve time-on-site—all while aligning with Google’s Page Experience update.
We detect and resolve duplicate content issues through canonical tags, redirects, and parameter handling. This protects your ranking authority and guarantees consistent indexing across all pages.
Optimising your XML sitemap is key to ensure only valuable, indexable pages are submitted to search engines. We also validate sitemap health, frequency, and lastmod attributes to enhance crawl efficiency.
Work with usTechnical SEO isn’t just a one-off fix; it’s an ongoing process that strengthens the core of your website. Our technical SEO experts follow a proven, step-by-step approach to identify, resolve, and monitor critical issues.
In the first month, we dive deep into your site’s technical foundation using tools like Screaming Frog and Ahrefs. We crawl your entire website to uncover over 180 data points, from broken links and redirect chains to duplicate content and metadata issues.
Once the audit is complete, we prioritise issues by their potential SEO impact and how easy they are to implement, allowing us to tackle the high-impact, low-effort tasks first so we can generate measurable improvements as quickly as possible.
During months two and three, we roll up our sleeves and get to work on resolving the issues. We collaborate closely with your development team to implement technical fixes effectively, whether it’s cleaning up crawl errors or restructuring internal links, ensuring changes are implemented correctly and efficiently.
After every technical fix is in place, we carefully verify its effectiveness. We re-audit the specific areas to confirm the issue is resolved and hasn’t introduced any unintended side effects, making sure your website stays technically sound and continues moving in the right direction.
We don’t leave your site unmonitored after the fixes. Instead, we set up robust tracking using tools like Google Search Console and analytics platforms to watch for crawl errors, Core Web Vitals issues, traffic anomalies, and uptime. This ensures ongoing visibility into your technical performance.
To keep your site technically healthy, we conduct monthly mini-audits to review ongoing fixes and quarterly full audits to share with stakeholders. We also perform spot checks on key SEO metrics to catch new issues early, especially after content changes, site updates, or algorithm rollouts.
As part of our commitment to long-term results, we stay up to date with Google’s latest technical guidelines and algorithm changes. We document every process and recommendation clearly, so that all stakeholders have access to best practices.
Work with usWhen you work with us, you’re not just getting another technical SEO agency—you’re gaining a strategic partner. Our team of technical SEO experts combines data-driven insights, best-in-class tools, and years of hands-on experience to transform your website from the ground up.
We care about results, not just reports. Whether you’re dealing with legacy code, platform migrations, or sudden ranking drops, we bring clarity, confidence, and measurable outcomes to your SEO strategy.
Technical SEO forms the foundation of your entire digital marketing strategy. It ensures that all your content and on-page efforts can be properly crawled, indexed, and ranked.
Pricing varies depending on the size and complexity of your site. We offer scalable packages for startups, e-commerce brands, and enterprise sites alike. Contact us for a custom quote based on your needs.
While closely related, technical SEO and on-page SEO are distinct. On-page focuses on content and HTML elements; technical SEO deals with performance, crawlability, and infrastructure. Both work together to improve rankings.
We recommend a full technical audit every quarter, with smaller audits monthly. This helps catch emerging issues from site updates, Google algorithm changes, or third-party integrations before they impact performance.
Yes. We regularly collaborate with internal dev teams and agencies to implement technical fixes smoothly. We provide clear, dev-friendly documentation and support throughout the process.
