# Fix what stops Google from ranking your site

Good content cannot rank if Google cannot crawl it, the pages are slow, or half the site is accidentally hidden. We find the technical problems, fix them in the code and check Search Console until they are gone.

## What is included
- **Technical SEO audit** — Crawl, indexing, speed, mobile, schema and internal links checked, with a ranked list of fixes.
- **Indexing fixes** — Robots rules, canonicals, sitemaps, redirects and duplicate pages sorted.
- **Core Web Vitals and speed** — Images, scripts and layout shift fixed so pages load fast on phones.
- **Schema markup** — Structured data for your business, services, products, FAQs and reviews.
- **Internal linking** — Links between related pages so authority flows to the pages that matter.
- **Traffic drop recovery** — Find what changed, when and why, then put it right.
- **AI crawler readiness** — Make sure AI search tools can read the site, with clear facts they can cite.
- **Search Console monitoring** — Errors and coverage checked monthly so problems are caught early.

## Frequently asked questions
### What is technical SEO?

The behind-the-scenes work that lets search engines find, read and rank your pages: indexing, speed, mobile, structured data and site structure.
### Can you fix our site if it is on WordPress or Wix?

Often, yes, within what the platform allows. Some limits cannot be fixed on certain platforms; if so we will say whether a move would be worth it.
### How quickly do technical fixes work?

Google usually picks up fixes within days to a few weeks, depending on how often it crawls the site. Recovery from a big drop can take longer.
### Do Core Web Vitals really matter?

They are one ranking signal among many, but slow pages also lose visitors directly. Fixing speed tends to help both rankings and enquiries.
