Technical SEO: the foundation before anything else gets written

No content strategy works on a site Google can’t crawl, index or interpret correctly. Technical SEO isn’t an extra — it’s the condition for everything else to have any effect.

Scope

What a technical audit covers

  • 01Crawlability and indexation — verifying Google actually sees what you want it to see, nothing more and nothing less
  • 02Core Web Vitals and performance — load speed and visual stability, direct ranking factors as well as user experience factors
  • 03Site architecture and internal linking — a structure built to distribute authority to the right pages, not a maze of random links
  • 04Redirect management and redirect chains — a problem that accumulates over time, one few sites ever clean up
  • 05Structured data (schema markup) verified and correct, not just present
  • 06Hreflang for multilingual sites — the most common cause of international indexation problems when handled badly
  • 07Content cannibalisation management — a skill built on complex CMS migrations, with thousands of pages at stake
Method

How I work

Not a generic 40-page report nobody reads to the end. A prioritised audit: what’s blocking growth right now, what can wait, what needs direct technical intervention, and what just needs a content strategy adjustment. The same discipline applied to a platform with thousands of indexed pages, not theory from an online course.

Why it’s rare

Why this expertise is rare

Content cannibalisation management at scale — a problem almost no consultant develops real experience with, because it only shows up on sites large and complex enough to surface it. I dealt with it during a full production CMS migration, with zero tolerance for errors.
