Make sure Google can find, crawl, and rank every page on your site.
Most Melbourne small business websites have technical problems their owners don’t know about. Crawl errors that hide pages from Google. Title tags that don’t match what customers search for. Page speed scores that push you down in rankings before a single visitor arrives. Technical SEO fixes the foundations — so everything else you do online actually works.
What We Do
Every month, we run a full technical audit of your website using Google Search Console and SEMrush. We identify what’s broken, what’s underperforming, and what needs to change. Then we fix it.
We don’t just flag issues and send you a PDF. We implement the changes — rewriting title tags, fixing crawl errors, monitoring Core Web Vitals — and show you exactly what was done and what improved.
Our AI tooling (Claude) writes optimised title and meta copy. Our team reviews and implements it. You get a monthly report that reads like a to-do list that’s already been done.
The Problem
Your website might look fine. But if Google can’t crawl it properly, can’t read your title tags, or if your pages take 6 seconds to load on mobile — you’re invisible in search. And you’ll stay invisible until the foundations are fixed.
The most common technical issues we find on Melbourne SMB sites:
SEO Titles
Title tags that are missing, duplicated, or over 60 characters
SEO Descriptions
Meta descriptions that don't exist or don't include a call to action
Header Hierarchy
H1 tags used incorrectly or not at all with the full waterfall down to H6
Core Web Vitals
Pages that are technically slow even if they feel fast
Search Crawlers
Crawl errors that prevent Google from indexing key pages
Errors
Broken links that damage authority and frustrate visitors
Google Search Console
No GSC set up so nobody even knows there's a problem
Images
Image sizes are huge impacts on technical seo and page speed

Hear From Our Clients
Technical SEO is your foundation but ranking takes more than a clean site. Here's what else we do.
SEO is more than a clean site.
Technical SEO gets Google in the door but it won’t keep you there on its own. Ranking consistently in a competitive market takes a full-stack approach: authority from links, visibility in local search, content that earns trust, and presence in the AI-powered results that are reshaping how people find businesses. Every facet we offer is designed to work together. Pick one to start, or build the full picture.
Got questions about Technical SEO?
Here’s what most site owners only find out after they’ve already lost rankings and how to stay ahead of it.
What's the difference between technical SEO and regular SEO?
Technical SEO focuses on the underlying infrastructure of your website — how it’s built, how fast it loads, and whether Google can read it properly. It’s the foundation everything else sits on. Without it, content and backlinks don’t perform as well as they should.
Do I need to give you access to my website?
For some fixes (title tags, meta descriptions, H1s) we’ll need admin access to your WordPress or CMS. For monitoring, we need access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics. We’ll walk you through granting access — it takes about 10 minutes and you can revoke it at any time.
How long before I see results?
Technical SEO improvements can show up in Google Search Console within 2–4 weeks as Google recrawls your site. Ranking improvements typically take 2–3 months after the foundations are fixed — SEO is a compounding investment, not an overnight fix.
Can I just do this once instead of monthly?
A one-off audit tells you what’s broken. A monthly retainer ensures it stays fixed — Google updates, plugin changes, new content, and site updates all introduce new technical issues continuously. The retainer is the ongoing maintenance layer.
We already have an SEO agency, do we still need this?
Ask them when they last ran a full crawl. Most agencies focus on content and links and let technical debt pile up quietly. We’ve seen sites lose 30% of their traffic to issues that had been sitting there for months.
