What Are Technical SEO Services and Why Your Business Needs Them

Technical SEO forms the foundation of your website's search engine performance. While content SEO focuses on what your pages say, technical SEO ensures search engines can actually find, crawl, and understand your website properly.
Think of technical SEO as the plumbing of your house. You might have beautiful rooms and quality furniture, but if the plumbing doesn't work, nothing else matters. Similarly, your website might have brilliant content, but if search engines can't access it efficiently, your rankings will suffer.

Our technical SEO services in Durban address critical issues like:

Frequently Asked Questions About Technical SEO

What exactly is technical SEO and why does my website need it?

Technical SEO involves optimising your website's infrastructure so search engines can crawl, index, and rank your pages effectively. Without proper technical SEO, even the best content won't rank well because search engines can't access or understand it properly.

How long does it take to see results from technical SEO improvements?

Most technical SEO improvements show initial results within 2-4 weeks, with significant improvements visible within 2-3 months. Speed improvements and mobile optimisation often show immediate benefits, while structural changes may take longer to fully impact rankings.

Can you fix technical SEO issues without affecting my website's design?

Yes, most technical SEO improvements happen "behind the scenes" without changing your website's appearance. When design changes are necessary for mobile optimisation or user experience, we discuss them with you first and ensure they align with your brand.

How do you measure the success of technical SEO improvements?

We track multiple metrics including page loading speeds, Core Web Vitals scores, crawl error reductions, mobile usability improvements, and search ranking changes. You'll receive detailed monthly reports showing progress in each area.

Do you work with websites built on different platforms?

Absolutely. Our team has experience with WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Magento, custom-built sites, and virtually every major platform. We adapt our technical SEO approach to work with your specific website technology.

What's included in the free technical SEO audit?

Your free audit includes analysis of page speed, mobile usability, crawl errors, broken links, duplicate content issues, missing meta tags, and basic security checks. You'll receive a detailed report with prioritised recommendations for improvement.
