Technical SEO

Technical SEO covers the behind-the-scenes work that determines whether Google can crawl, understand, and rank your site. Our process starts with a full site audit using tools like Screaming Frog, Google Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights to surface crawl errors, broken links, duplicate content, and indexing blocks. From there we fix Core Web Vitals issues - slow load times, layout shifts, and poor interactivity scores - optimize your site for mobile usability, resolve redirect chains, and implement structured data including LocalBusiness, Service, BreadcrumbList, and FAQPage schema markup. You receive a prioritized fix list with documented before-and-after results. Without clean technical foundations, even strong content and local citations lose impact. Google cannot rank pages it cannot crawl or understand. Slow mobile load times kill conversions before a visitor ever reads your offer. Competitors with properly structured sites gain ranking advantages that are difficult to overcome through content alone, especially in competitive local markets. DM Digital runs technical audits at onboarding and re-audits every quarter, because sites break - plugins update, pages get orphaned, schema drifts out of spec. We track technical health scores monthly inside your reporting dashboard and flag new issues before they affect rankings. If you want to know exactly what is holding your site back, a strategy call is the right starting point.
