Our Technical SEO Expertise

No two sites are broken in the same way

There’s no universal fix for technical SEO. Every site has its own mix of problems, some obvious, some hiding in the code. We start with a full diagnostic of how your site is performing right now, then build a prioritised plan based on what will actually move your rankings, not a generic checklist run on autopilot.

Our Technical SEO Checklist

Here are a few core areas that can impact performance in search engines and how we can fix them.

Group - Technical SEO

Site Speed Optimisation

Faster load times, better Core Web Vitals and a smoother experience for visitors. Speed is one of Google’s clearest ranking signals, and one of the easiest things to get wrong.

Mobile Optimisation IMG - Technical SEO

Mobile Optimisation

Group - Technical SEO

Most of your traffic is on a phone. We make sure your site loads fast, looks right and works properly on every device, which is exactly what Google rewards.

Group - Technical SEO

Image Sizing and Alt tags

Oversized images slow your site down and missing alt tags waste a ranking opportunity. We resize, compress and tag every image so your pages load quickly and tell Google what they’re about.

Group - Technical SEO

Structured Data Implementation

Schema markup helps Google understand your content properly and can earn you rich snippets in search results. We add the right structured data to the right pages so you stand out, not blend in.

Local keyword research icon

Keyword Research

The right keywords drive the right traffic. We identify the search terms your customers are actually using and build your site’s content and structure around them.

Local link building icon

Backlink Audit

Toxic or low-quality backlinks can drag your rankings down without you knowing. We audit every link pointing at your site and disavow anything harmful, protecting your domain authority.

Website Content Icon

SEO Content Optimisation

We review your existing content for duplicate pages, weak titles, missing meta descriptions and anything else search engines might trip over, then optimise it to rank for the keywords that matter.

Group - Technical SEO

On-site and page SEO

Headings, internal links, meta tags, page titles, broken links. The detail-level fixes that compound over time and lift every page on your site, not just one.

Group - Technical SEO

XML Sitemaps and Robots.txt

These two files tell Google what to crawl and what to ignore. Get them wrong and important pages get missed. We optimise both so search engines find and index everything that matters.

Local citation building icon

Indexing Error Resolution & Crawlability

If Google can’t crawl your site properly, it can’t rank it. We use Search Console to find and fix indexing errors, submit clean sitemaps and make sure every page you want to rank is actually visible to search engines.

What our Technical SEO Clients have to say

Here are a few of our technical SEO case studies

We’re getting sales again

My old web designers left my website in a mess. After booking the free audit, my site’s SEO health was 42 out of 100. We had seen a steady drop in rankings on our core keywords and were losing sales. I’m so glad I found Melt. After just two weeks, they’d fixed the site’s main issues, improved the technical SEO score, and combined with an SEO campaign, we’ve seen our rankings improve, and we’re getting sales again.

Technical SEO Frequently Asked Questions

What is Technical SEO?

Technical SEO is the work that makes your site easier for Google to crawl, understand and rank. It covers site speed, mobile-friendliness, site architecture, structured data, meta tags, alt tags, sitemaps, indexing and content structure.

The usual culprits are slow page speed, duplicate content, broken links, missing or messy meta tags, mobile usability problems and indexing errors. Most sites have a handful of these without realising.

Fixing technical issues makes your site easier for search engines to access and understand. The result is better rankings, more organic traffic and a smoother experience for visitors, which Google also rewards.

Basic fixes are within reach if you’re comfortable with WordPress’s back end. But the more advanced stuff (schema, indexing issues, Core Web Vitals, redirect chains) usually requires someone who handles it daily. A specialist will spot issues you’d never know to look for.

Focusing on technical SEO can fix issues hindering your website’s performance on search engines. Improving site speed and internal linking can help search engines crawl and index your website more effectively, leading to higher rankings in search results.

It depends on the size of the site and how serious the issues are. Some fixes show up in rankings within a few weeks, others take a few months as Google recrawls and re-evaluates your pages. SEO rewards patience and a solid strategy over quick wins.

It’s hard to say without knowing what your site needs. Our free technical SEO audit will tell us exactly what’s wrong, and from there we can quote based on the actual work involved. Technical SEO is also included in our SEO campaigns and care plans.

If you’re technically confident and willing to put the time in, yes. But for anything beyond basic fixes, getting it wrong can cost you rankings, so it’s often worth getting a second opinion before making changes.
