Technical SEO That Fixes Your Site's Crawl Foundations
Webbae's Technical SEO service repairs the crawl, indexing, rendering, and speed issues that quietly cap your rankings. We turn a clean Screaming Frog and Search Console crawl into a prioritised fix list your developers can ship in days.
What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO is the practice of optimising how search engines crawl, render, index, and serve a website, separate from the content and backlinks that earn rankings. It covers crawl budget and crawlability, indexation control, JavaScript rendering, site architecture and internal linking, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, canonical tags, redirect hygiene, hreflang, structured data, HTTPS, and Core Web Vitals. The goal is simple: make sure every page you want ranked can be discovered, rendered, indexed, and loaded fast, with nothing leaking equity or blocking access. Webbae treats Technical SEO as the foundation layer of search, because the strongest content and links cannot rank a page that Googlebot cannot reach or render. Our Technical SEO service runs a 200+ point crawl audit using Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, and PageSpeed data, then converts findings into a severity-ranked fix list mapped to specific URLs. Clearing technical debt first is what lets on-page and content work compound instead of stalling.
Pages That Actually Get Indexed
Orphan pages, noindex leaks, blocked resources, and crawl traps quietly keep money pages out of Google's index. We close those gaps so your priority URLs get crawled and indexed, often recovering 10 to 30 pages that were invisible before any content work begins.
Faster Pages, Higher Rankings
Core Web Vitals are a confirmed ranking signal and a conversion lever. We target LCP under 2.5s, INP under 200ms, and CLS under 0.1 on mobile, the thresholds tied to better rankings and an average 7% lift in conversions per second of load time saved.
Update-Proof Site Health
Clean crawl hygiene, valid structured data, and a sound architecture are what let sites hold rankings through core updates. Portfolios on a Webbae Technical SEO retainer cleared 6 major 2024-2025 Google core updates with zero recovery work required.
What Your Technical SEO Engagement Covers
200+ Point Crawl Audit
A full Screaming Frog crawl cross-referenced with Google Search Console and log data, scoring 200+ checkpoints across crawlability, indexation, status codes, redirects, duplicate content, and metadata. You receive a severity-ranked fix list mapped to exact URLs within 72 hours.
Core Web Vitals Engineering
We diagnose and fix LCP, INP, and CLS at the source: render-blocking scripts, unoptimised images, layout shift, slow server response, and third-party bloat. Target is green field-data scores on mobile, the metric Google actually ranks on.
Crawl Budget & Indexation Control
Robots.txt rules, XML sitemap hygiene, canonical tags, pagination, faceted-URL handling, and strategic noindex directives so crawlers spend budget on pages that matter and drop the thin, duplicate, and parameter URLs that dilute it.
JavaScript Rendering Audits
We test how Googlebot renders your JavaScript, comparing raw HTML to the rendered DOM to catch content, links, and metadata that never reach the index. Recommendations cover SSR, dynamic rendering, hydration, and critical-path fixes.
Schema & Structured Data
Organization, Product, Article, FAQ, HowTo, Breadcrumb, and Review schema deployed and validated in Google's Rich Results Test. Valid structured data unlocks rich snippets that lift CTR by an average of 35% over plain blue links.
Architecture, Redirects & Hreflang
Flat site architecture, clean internal linking and depth, redirect-chain elimination, broken-link reclamation, HTTPS and canonical consistency, plus hreflang setup for multi-region and multi-language sites across markets.

Common questions about technical seo
What is technical SEO and why does it matter?
Technical SEO is the optimisation of how search engines crawl, render, index, and serve a website, distinct from its content and backlinks. It matters because even the best content cannot rank on a page Googlebot cannot reach, render, or index, and slow pages lose both rankings and conversions. Webbae's Technical SEO service fixes the foundation first: crawlability, indexation, JavaScript rendering, Core Web Vitals, site architecture, and structured data. Clearing technical debt before content work is what lets rankings compound instead of stalling.
What does a Webbae technical SEO audit include?
A Webbae technical SEO audit is a 200+ point crawl using Screaming Frog cross-referenced with Google Search Console, PageSpeed field data, and server logs. It checks crawlability, indexation, status codes, redirect chains, duplicate content, canonical tags, XML sitemaps, robots.txt, JavaScript rendering, Core Web Vitals, hreflang, and structured data. You receive a severity-ranked fix list mapped to exact URLs within 72 hours, grouped into critical, high, and housekeeping tiers so your developers know precisely what to ship first.
How much does technical SEO cost?
Technical SEO is included in every Webbae SEO retainer from USD $895/month on a 30-day rolling agreement, covering a monthly crawl with a prioritised fix list, Core Web Vitals monitoring, and schema deployment alongside on-page and off-page work. For teams that want the diagnosis without a retainer, a standalone one-time technical audit and remediation roadmap starts at USD $895. Pricing scales with site size and the volume of pages requiring hands-on remediation.
What are Core Web Vitals and what targets do you hit?
Core Web Vitals are three Google metrics measuring real-user experience: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) for loading, Interaction to Next Paint (INP) for responsiveness, and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) for visual stability. Webbae engineers sites to hit the passing thresholds on mobile field data: LCP under 2.5 seconds, INP under 200 milliseconds, and CLS under 0.1. These are a confirmed ranking signal, and faster loads also improve conversions by roughly 7% for every second of load time saved.
How is technical SEO different from on-page and content SEO?
Technical SEO governs how search engines access and process a site, while on-page and content SEO govern what each page says and targets. Technical work covers crawling, rendering, indexing, speed, architecture, and structured data. On-page covers titles, headings, and internal linking; content SEO covers topical depth and keyword targeting. They are complementary layers: Webbae fixes the technical foundation first so the content and on-page work that follows can actually be crawled, indexed, and rewarded with rankings.
How long does it take to see results from technical SEO fixes?
The audit and prioritised fix list are delivered within 72 hours of crawl access. Once fixes ship, indexation and crawl improvements often appear within 1 to 4 weeks as Google re-crawls, and Core Web Vitals field data updates over a rolling 28-day window. Ranking gains from cleared technical debt typically compound over 2 to 4 months, since technical fixes unlock the effect of content and on-page work rather than driving rankings entirely on their own.
Can you fix JavaScript rendering and indexing problems?
Webbae audits JavaScript rendering by comparing your raw HTML to the rendered DOM that Googlebot sees, catching content, links, and metadata that never reach the index on client-side-rendered sites. We diagnose hydration issues, blocked resources, and render-blocking scripts, then recommend the right fix per template, whether server-side rendering, dynamic rendering, prerendering, or critical-path optimisation. The result is that the content you publish is actually rendered and indexed instead of being invisible to search engines.
Do you implement the fixes or just hand over a report?
Both options are available. Webbae can implement technical fixes directly on most platforms, including Core Web Vitals work, redirect cleanup, schema deployment, and robots and sitemap configuration. When your in-house developers handle deployment, we provide developer-ready specifications with exact URLs, code snippets, and acceptance criteria, then re-crawl and validate every fix in Search Console and the Rich Results Test. You are never left with a PDF and no path to action.
