Technical SEO That Fixes What Holds Your Site Back
Find and repair the crawling, indexing, speed and structure problems that quietly stop good content from performing.
What Rocket provides
Technical SEO is the behind-the-scenes work that lets search engines crawl, understand and index your website properly, and lets visitors use it quickly on any device. Great content cannot perform if the foundations are broken.
We audit your site, prioritise issues by real impact, and either fix them for you or give your developer a precise, ordered task list.
Who it's for
Technical SEO suits sites where something is clearly or possibly wrong under the surface.
- Larger sites with many pages, categories or filters
- Websites that were recently migrated or redesigned
- Online stores with duplicate or thin product pages
- Any site that is slow, unstable or hard to use on mobile
Technical SEO is especially valuable after a redesign, a platform change or a plugin-heavy build, because small configuration mistakes can hide whole sections of a site from Google.
Problems it solves
It resolves issues such as:
- Pages missing from Google's index or indexed by mistake
- Broken links, redirect chains and error pages
- Slow loading, especially on mobile connections
- Duplicate content and incorrect canonical tags
- Missing or invalid structured data
- Poor internal linking that hides important pages
What's included
A technical SEO engagement can include:
- Full site crawl and indexing review
- Core Web Vitals and speed analysis
- Mobile usability and accessibility checks
- XML sitemap and robots.txt review
- Redirect mapping and error clean-up
- Schema markup implementation
- A prioritised report with fixes ranked by impact and effort
Every deliverable is written for two readers: you, in plain language, and a developer, in precise technical detail. We avoid long lists of trivial warnings and highlight the handful of issues that genuinely affect visibility.
Options
You can choose how deep we go:
- Audit only: a documented report for you or your developer
- Audit and fix: we implement the changes on your site
- Migration support: protection during a redesign or website migration
- Speed focus: pair with website speed optimisation
When we deliver an audit, each issue includes what is wrong, why it matters, how to fix it and how to confirm the fix. That makes the work easy to hand to a developer, or to approve for us to complete.
What you'll need to supply
We will need:
- Admin or developer access to the website and hosting
- Google Search Console and Analytics access
- Details of any recent redesign, migration or plugin changes
- A staging site if one exists, so changes can be tested safely
How the process works
- Crawl: we map every page, link and response code.
- Diagnose: issues are grouped by cause and impact.
- Report: you receive a prioritised, plain-language action list.
- Fix: agreed changes are made and tested.
- Verify: we re-crawl and confirm search engines can see the changes.
- Monitor: ongoing checks catch new problems early.
What affects cost and timing
Cost depends on website size, the platform it is built on, how many issues are found and whether you want us to implement the fixes. Small sites can be audited quickly, while large or heavily customised sites take longer.
Technical fixes improve the conditions for good performance but do not by themselves guarantee rankings. Gains usually become visible over weeks to months.

Typical timing: a small site audit takes days, while a large store may take several weeks. Fix times depend on how locked down your platform and hosting are.

Frequently asked questions
What is Core Web Vitals?
They are Google's measures of loading speed, responsiveness and visual stability. We measure them and fix the biggest causes of poor scores.
Will you change my website?
Only with your approval. We can work on a staging copy first and document every change.
Is technical SEO a once-off job?
The main clean-up is once-off, but sites change constantly, so periodic checks help you avoid regressions.
Can you work with my existing developer?
Yes. We provide precise tasks and are happy to coordinate directly.
Do I need this before content or link building?
Often yes. Fixing crawl and speed issues first means other SEO investment performs better.
