Service

The plumbing behind every ranking

You can write the best service page in your city and get nothing if Google cannot crawl it, render it, or load it fast enough on a phone on mobile data. Technical work is unglamorous and it is where most stuck sites unstick.

The problem

Why this is usually the thing that is stuck

Search engines have a budget for your site. If they spend it crawling parameter URLs, redirect chains and pages you never wanted indexed, the pages that matter get visited less often.

On the user side it is simpler: a page that takes four seconds on a phone loses a share of visitors before it renders — and Google measures that.

Start with the audit

Send your URL and your city. You get a written breakdown of where you stand — free, and yours to keep either way.

What’s included

Exactly what you get

Six deliverables, each one a thing you can point at when it is done.

Full crawl & index audit

What is indexed, what should be, what should not be, and why the difference exists.

Core Web Vitals fixes

LCP, CLS and INP diagnosed against real field data, not just a lab score.

Mobile rendering & usability

Tap targets, viewport, layout shift and anything that only breaks on a real handset.

Redirect, canonical & sitemap cleanup

Chains flattened, canonicals corrected, sitemaps that list only what you want indexed.

Structured data validation

Every markup type tested rather than pasted and hoped for.

Speed & image optimisation

Compression, modern formats, lazy loading, and removing the plugins doing nothing.

Process

How it runs

01

Crawl

Full site crawl plus Search Console and field data.

02

Prioritise

Issues ranked by ranking impact, not by count.

03

Fix

Implemented and verified, not just reported.

04

Re-test

Before and after, with the numbers.

Fit

Is this the right service for you?

Being honest about this saves both of us a quarter.

A good fit if…

  • Your site is slow on mobile
  • Pages are missing from the index
  • You have migrated recently
  • Rankings dropped without a content change

Probably not yet if…

  • Your site is brand new and empty
  • You want a report with no implementation
  • You cannot give access to the site
FAQ

Questions we get asked

01Is a perfect PageSpeed score necessary?

No. Passing Core Web Vitals in field data matters; chasing 100 in a lab test usually does not. We optimise for the former.

02Will you break my site?

Changes are made carefully and reversibly, and anything structural is flagged before it happens.

03Do I need this if my site is new?

Less urgently, but getting the foundations right at the start is far cheaper than retrofitting later.

04How long does a technical fix take to show results?

Crawl and index changes can show in days. Vitals improvements need 28 days of field data before Google reflects them.
