Technical SEO
Your content might be incredible and your backlink profile strong, but if Google can’t properly crawl, index, and render your website, none of it matters. Technical SEO is the invisible foundation that everything else is built on — and it’s where most agencies cut corners.
At Spilt Media, we dig into the code. We audit crawl efficiency, fix indexation issues, optimize Core Web Vitals, implement structured data, and resolve the site architecture problems that silently kill your rankings. Whether your site runs on WordPress, Shopify, or a custom stack, our technical audits uncover what’s holding you back and fix it at the source.

What Technical SEO Actually Means for Your Business
Think of technical SEO as the plumbing and electrical of your website. Visitors never see it, but when something goes wrong — slow load times, broken pages, crawl errors, duplicate content — the whole house falls apart. Google’s crawlers visit your site regularly, and every technical issue they encounter is a signal that your site may not deserve top rankings.
Our technical SEO audits go far beyond running a free scanning tool and handing you a PDF. We manually inspect your site architecture, crawl logs, server response codes, JavaScript rendering, internal linking structure, and Core Web Vitals. We identify exactly what’s preventing Google from fully indexing and ranking your content, then fix it — often uncovering issues that have been silently costing you traffic for months or years.
Whether you’re dealing with a site migration gone wrong, a WordPress plugin bloating your load time, or an indexation problem you can’t figure out, Spilt Media’s technical team has seen it and fixed it.

Every business needs a different mix. Here’s what we offer under our SEO umbrella — each service can be standalone or combined into a comprehensive strategy.
What Our Technical SEO Services Cover
Technical SEO isn’t one thing — it’s a system of interconnected optimizations that ensure Google can crawl, understand, and rank your site effectively.
Core Web Vitals Optimization
Google's page experience signals — Largest Contentful Paint, Interaction to Next Paint, and Cumulative Layout Shift — directly impact rankings. We diagnose exactly what's slowing your site down, whether it's unoptimized images, render-blocking JavaScript, or server response times, and fix it at the code level.
Site Architecture & Internal Linking
A clean URL structure and strategic internal linking help Google understand your content hierarchy and distribute page authority efficiently. We audit and restructure your navigation, breadcrumbs, silo structure, and internal links to ensure every important page gets the crawl attention it deserves.
Crawl Budget Optimization
Google allocates a finite crawl budget to every site. If that budget is wasted on duplicate pages, infinite scroll loops, or orphaned URLs, your most important content may never get indexed. We clean up crawl waste so Google spends its time on pages that actually drive revenue.
Structured Data & Schema Markup
Rich results — stars, FAQs, how-tos, product info — dramatically increase click-through rates. We implement and validate JSON-LD schema markup for your business type, services, reviews, and FAQs so Google can display enhanced listings that stand out in search results.
Mobile-First Optimization
Google indexes the mobile version of your site first. If your mobile experience has layout issues, slow load times, or missing content, your desktop rankings suffer too. We ensure your site delivers a flawless experience across every device and screen size.
HTTPS, Security & Indexation Controls
Mixed content warnings, broken SSL certificates, incorrect canonical tags, and mismanaged robots.txt files silently destroy rankings. We audit your security configuration, indexation directives, and XML sitemaps to ensure Google sees exactly what you want it to see — nothing more, nothing less.

Frequently Asked Questions About Technical SEO
Technical SEO refers to optimizations made to your website’s infrastructure — not its content — to help search engines crawl, index, and rank it more effectively. This includes site speed, mobile-friendliness, structured data, XML sitemaps, robots.txt configuration, HTTPS security, crawl error resolution, and internal linking structure. It’s the foundation that all other SEO efforts are built on.
Common symptoms include: pages not appearing in Google despite being published, slow load times (over 3 seconds), mobile layout issues, declining organic traffic with no obvious content changes, and Google Search Console showing crawl errors or Core Web Vitals failures. The only way to know for certain is a comprehensive technical audit using professional crawling tools and manual inspection.
A thorough technical audit typically takes 1-2 weeks depending on the size and complexity of your site. Small business sites (under 100 pages) can usually be audited in a week. Larger sites with thousands of pages, complex JavaScript rendering, or multiple subdomains may take longer. The audit deliverable includes a prioritized action plan with estimated impact for each fix.
Absolutely. A single misconfigured robots.txt file can deindex your entire site. A slow server can cause Google to reduce its crawl rate, leaving new content undiscovered for weeks. Duplicate content from improper canonical tags splits your ranking signals across multiple URLs. Technical issues are often the hidden cause behind rankings that plateau or decline despite strong content and link building.
Core Web Vitals are three specific metrics Google uses to measure user experience: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) measures loading speed, Interaction to Next Paint (INP) measures responsiveness, and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) measures visual stability. Since 2021, these have been confirmed Google ranking factors. Sites that pass all three Core Web Vitals thresholds have a measurable ranking advantage over those that don’t.
We fix them. Unlike agencies that hand you a 50-page PDF and wish you luck, Spilt Media implements technical fixes directly. For WordPress and Shopify sites, we handle everything in-house. For custom-built sites, we work directly with your development team to ensure every fix is implemented correctly. Every change is documented and tested before and after.
One-time technical audits with implementation start at $1,500 for small business sites. Ongoing technical SEO monitoring and optimization is included in our monthly SEO plans ($1,000-$3,500/month). The right investment depends on your site’s size, platform, and the severity of existing issues. We always start with a free preliminary assessment so you know what you’re dealing with before committing.
Both. An initial audit and cleanup resolves existing issues, but technical SEO requires ongoing monitoring. WordPress plugin updates can introduce new bugs, Google algorithm updates change technical requirements, new content can create crawl issues, and site speed can degrade over time. We recommend at minimum quarterly technical audits, with monthly monitoring for sites that publish content regularly.
