If Google cannot crawl it, render it and index it, nothing else you do matters

Technical SEO is the layer underneath everything else. It rarely wins on its own, but it is regularly what is capping a site that should be doing better.

This is the work for sites where the content is fine, the links are fine, and it still is not moving.

In short

Crawling, indexation, site architecture, JavaScript rendering, Core Web Vitals and log file analysis — diagnosed, specified and implemented.

Specifications are written for developers. If you have a dev team, they can implement without me.

Symptoms

What technical problems look like from the outside

Our pages are not getting indexed. Submitted, discovered, and then nothing. Search Console gives a status and no explanation.

We rebuilt in React and traffic fell. Rendering. Google can execute JavaScript, but not always the way you assume, and not always promptly.

Google is crawling pages that do not exist. Old URLs, parameters, calendar pages, or a redirect chain feeding it nonsense.

We fixed everything the tool flagged and nothing changed. Because most of what audit tools flag has no effect on rankings.

Search Console says one thing, the site says another. Usually a canonical, a redirect or a rendering difference between what you see and what Googlebot gets.

Technical SEO is largely the discipline of telling the difference between a real problem and a red warning icon.

What technical work covers

Four layers, checked in this order

Order matters. Optimising Core Web Vitals on pages Google cannot reach is a well-intentioned waste of a fortnight.

1

Crawling

What Googlebot can reach and how it spends its time getting there. Robots rules, redirect chains, orphaned pages, crawl traps and the parameters quietly generating infinite space.

2

Rendering

What Googlebot actually sees after JavaScript executes. Client-side rendering, hydration, lazy-loaded content and the gap between your browser and theirs.

3

Indexation

What gets kept and what gets dropped. Canonicals, noindex, duplicate clusters, soft 404s and the pages competing with each other for the same query.

4

Performance

Core Web Vitals and real-world load. Genuinely worth fixing — mostly because slow sites convert worse, and secondarily because it is a ranking input.

What you get

Specifications, not a list of warnings

A technical audit that hands a developer 400 rows of tool output will not get implemented. Everything here is scoped to be actionable and ranked so you can stop wherever your budget does.

  • What is actually broken. Separated clearly from what a tool flagged but does not matter.
  • Evidence from logs where available. What Googlebot did, not what a crawler simulated.
  • Developer-ready specifications. The change, the file or template, the expected result, and how to verify it afterwards.
  • Priority by impact. With honest effort estimates, so the cheap wins are obvious.
  • A verification method. How we will know each fix worked, decided before we deploy it.

How it runs

How technical work runs

1

Crawl and logs

A full crawl plus server logs if you have them. Logs are where the surprising findings usually come from.

2

Render testing

Comparing rendered output against source, on the templates that matter, on mobile.

3

Specification

Written for your developers, in priority order, with edge cases named.

4

Deploy and verify

Staged where possible, verified against the metric each fix was supposed to move.

Fit

When technical work is the right spend

Worth it if

  • Indexation or crawling is visibly not behaving
  • Your site is JavaScript-heavy or recently replatformed
  • You have a large site where small template errors multiply
  • You have developers who can implement
  • Content and links look fine and it still is not moving

Not worth it if

  • The site is small, simple and technically clean already
  • Your real problem is that competitors have far stronger links
  • Nobody can deploy code changes for the foreseeable future
  • You are expecting technical fixes alone to beat a stronger competitor

FAQ

Questions about technical SEO

Our audit tool gives us a score. Should we chase 100?

No. Those scores weight everything roughly equally, which is not how search works. A site can score 62 and rank beautifully, or score 98 and be invisible because of one canonical rule. Fix the things that are costing you, ignore the rest, and do not let the score drive the roadmap.

Does Google index JavaScript sites properly?

It can, with caveats. Rendering is deferred and not guaranteed to be complete, so content that only exists after client-side execution is at a disadvantage — particularly links, which is how discovery happens. Server-side rendering or hydration removes the uncertainty.

How important are Core Web Vitals really?

They are a genuine but modest ranking input, and a large conversion input. Fix them for the second reason and treat any ranking benefit as a bonus. Do not fix them ahead of an indexation problem.

Do you need server logs?

They are not mandatory but they change the quality of the answer. Logs tell you what Googlebot actually did — which URLs it wasted time on, what it never touched. A crawler can only tell you what is theoretically reachable.

Can our developers do the work?

Yes, and that is often the cheapest route. I diagnose and specify, they implement, and I am happy to join their calls and review the deploy.
