🧩
Better structure

Site architecture and internal linking that help Google understand what matters most.

Some fixes help quickly (indexing, broken pages). Others compound over time (speed, structure).

Can you work with my platform?

Yes - WordPress, custom sites, and most CMS setups. We adapt the checklist to your stack.

Do you change design?

Only when needed. Most technical work is behind the scenes and won’t alter your look.

Technical SEO That Clears the Roadblocks Between Your Site and Page One

Technical SEO is the work that lets search engines actually find, crawl, and trust your website. You can publish great content and earn solid links, but if Google hits broken redirects, slow load times, duplicate URLs, or pages blocked by your robots file, those rankings never arrive. For a business, that gap is lost calls, lost forms, and lost revenue. Technical SEO fixes the structural problems quietly draining your visibility so the marketing you already pay for can finally compete.

At Gotham Site Studio, this is founder-led and hands-on, not handed off to a junior or a dashboard. We start by crawling your site and reviewing Google Search Console to surface the real issues: indexing errors, Core Web Vitals, broken internal links, messy redirects, thin or duplicate pages, and missing structured data. Then we prioritize by impact, fix what moves the needle, and confirm the changes hold. No bloated retainers, no filler reports. You get a clear list of what was broken, what we did, and why.

The result is a site search engines can read cleanly and users can navigate fast, which gives every page a fair shot at ranking and converting. Most clients feel the difference first in faster loads, cleaner indexing, and steadier organic traffic. If you suspect technical problems are holding you back but can't name them, that's exactly what a review is for. Book a free audit and consultation with Gotham, and you'll leave knowing precisely what's blocking your rankings, even if you fix it yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does technical SEO cost?

Pricing depends on your site's size and the depth of issues we find, so we scope it after the free audit rather than quoting a one-size number. Some sites need a focused one-time cleanup; others benefit from ongoing work. You'll get a clear, honest estimate tied to specific fixes before any work starts, with no surprise add-ons.

What does the technical SEO process look like?

We begin with a full crawl and a Google Search Console review to find indexing, speed, redirect, and structure problems. We then prioritize fixes by impact, implement them hands-on, and verify each change took hold. You receive a plain-English summary of what was broken, what we changed, and the reasoning, so nothing feels like a black box.

How long does technical SEO take and what's included?

A core technical cleanup typically takes a few weeks, depending on site size and how fixes are deployed. Work usually includes crawlability and indexing fixes, site speed and Core Web Vitals improvements, redirect and broken-link cleanup, duplicate-content resolution, and structured data. Search engines then need time to recrawl, so ranking gains build gradually rather than overnight.
