Technical SEO Audit: Fix the Foundation of Your Website
Most ranking problems aren't about content — they're about infrastructure Google can't crawl, render, or trust. Our technical SEO audit uncovers every server-level, code-level, and configuration issue holding your site back, then hands your developer a fix-it-by-priority roadmap.
What Is a Technical SEO Audit?
A technical SEO audit is a deep inspection of every server-level, code-level, and infrastructure signal that affects how search engines crawl, render, index, and rank your website. Unlike content-focused audits, technical audits diagnose the invisible problems — broken redirects, render-blocking JavaScript, orphaned URLs, faulty hreflang, and dozens of others — that quietly suppress rankings even when your content is excellent.
Google has publicly stated that technical health is a baseline expectation for any site that wants to rank. Our audit goes well beyond surface checks: we run a full crawl using Screaming Frog and Sitebulb, cross-reference Google Search Console coverage reports, analyze server log files when available, and manually validate every finding before it lands in your report.
The deliverable isn't a 200-page PDF dump. It's a focused, prioritized fix list ranked Critical → Low, with every issue paired to its exact impact, location, and remediation.

Every Signal Google Evaluates — Inspected Manually
Our technical audit doesn't stop at what a single tool spits out. We layer multiple data sources and a senior set of eyes on every finding.
Crawlability
Robots.txt, crawl depth, internal link distribution, orphaned URLs, faceted nav traps, and crawl budget waste across every URL Google sees.
Indexation
Index bloat, accidental noindex tags, soft 404s, low-quality URLs being indexed, and pages that should rank but don't appear in Google.
XML Sitemaps
Sitemap validation, URL coverage, image & video sitemaps, lastmod accuracy, news sitemaps, and sitemap submission status in GSC.
HTTPS & Security
SSL certificate health, mixed content warnings, HSTS configuration, and mixed protocol issues that signal trust problems to Google.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, INP, CLS audited per-URL against real CrUX field data — not just lab scores from PageSpeed Insights.
Redirect Chains
301/302 chain audits, redirect loops, JavaScript-based redirects, and the link equity loss hiding in your migration history.
Rendering & JavaScript SEO
Server-side vs client-side rendering validation, lazy-loaded content visibility, dynamic content indexation, and React/Vue/Next.js audits.
Structured Data
Schema.org validation, rich result eligibility, Product/Article/FAQ/Organization markup, and JSON-LD errors flagged by Google.
Hreflang & International SEO
For multi-region sites: hreflang tag validation, return tag consistency, x-default usage, and per-country indexation health.
Our Technical Audit Process
Site Crawl
We crawl every reachable URL with Screaming Frog & Sitebulb, replicating Googlebot's behavior including JS rendering.

A senior auditor manually verifies every finding to filter out false positives that automated tools produce in bulk.

Best For
Sites that rank below their content quality
Your content is solid, your competitors look weaker, but you can't break the top 10. Technical issues are almost always the culprit.
Post-migration drops
You moved to a new platform, CMS, or domain and rankings fell. We diagnose what broke and fix it fast.
JavaScript-heavy sites
React, Vue, Next.js, Angular — we audit how Googlebot renders and indexes your JS framework.
