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.

Slow websites frustrate users and get penalised by Google. We optimise your site's loading speed, ensuring visitors don't bounce before seeing your content. Our speed optimisation typically improves loading times by 40-70%.
