Technical SEO Services for Belfast and Northern Ireland Businesses

Technical SEO is the behind-the-scenes work that makes sure search engines can actually find, crawl, and index your website properly. If Google can’t access your pages, or your site is slow, or there are errors in the code, none of your other SEO work will perform the way it should.

I deal with the technical issues that most business owners never see but that directly affect how your site ranks — site speed, mobile performance, crawl errors, indexing problems, and Core Web Vitals.

Why Technical SEO Matters for Your Business

  • Make sure Google can find your pages
    If search engines can’t crawl and index your site properly, nothing else matters. Technical SEO fixes the structural issues that prevent your pages from showing up in results.
  • Speed up your website
    Slow sites lose visitors and rank lower. I identify what’s slowing your site down and fix it, whether that’s uncompressed images, render-blocking code, or poor hosting.
  • Get mobile performance right
    Google uses mobile-first indexing, meaning it judges your site based on the mobile version. If your site doesn’t work well on a phone, your rankings will suffer across the board.
  • Pass Core Web Vitals
    Google’s Core Web Vitals measure loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. These are direct ranking signals, and many sites fail them without realising it.

Elements of Technical SEO Services

Site Speed Optimisation

Identifying and fixing what’s making your site slow; image sizes, code bloat, server response times, caching issues. I use tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix to measure improvements.

Schema Markup Implementation

Adding structured data to your pages so Google can better understand your content. This can lead to enhanced search results, star ratings, FAQs, business information, that improve your click-through rate.

Mobile Optimisation

Making sure your site works properly across all devices and screen sizes. This includes responsive design checks, mobile usability testing, and fixing any issues flagged in Google Search Console.

Security (HTTPS)

Making sure your site has a valid SSL certificate and runs on HTTPS. It’s a basic ranking factor and essential for user trust, especially if you’re collecting any form of data.

Crawlability and Indexing

Checking that Google can access all the pages you want ranked, your XML sitemap is correct, your robots.txt isn’t blocking important content, and there are no crawl errors holding you back.

Core Web Vitals Optimisation

Improving your Largest Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, and Cumulative Layout Shift scores. These are the metrics Google uses to assess page experience, and they directly affect rankings.

Future-Proof Your Website Rankings with Expert Technical SEO

Your site takes too long to load and you know you’re losing visitors. Google Search Console is flagging errors but you’re not sure what they mean or how to fix them. Your site looks fine on desktop but something’s off on mobile. You’ve been told your Core Web Vitals need work but you don’t know where to start. Pages you’ve published aren’t appearing in Google at all.

These are technical SEO problems. They’re usually invisible to the business owner but they directly affect your rankings.

Don’t let these technical challenges hinder your online success. My comprehensive technical SEO audit will uncover the hidden issues affecting your website’s performance and provide a roadmap for improvement.

How I Work on your Technical SEO

I start with a full technical audit using Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, and PageSpeed Insights to get a clear picture of your site’s health. That covers crawl errors, indexing issues, site speed, mobile usability, Core Web Vitals, broken links, duplicate content, and security. I then prioritise the issues by impact; what’s going to make the biggest difference to your rankings gets fixed first. You’ll get a clear report showing what was found, what’s been done, and what the measurable improvement is.

Common Questions Asked about Technical SEO

On-page SEO is about your content; what’s on the page, how it’s structured, what keywords it targets. Off-page SEO is about external signals — backlinks, brand mentions, and reputation. Technical SEO is the foundation underneath both. It’s about whether Google can actually access, crawl, and understand your site. If the technical side isn’t right, the other two can’t perform properly.

I’d recommend a full audit at least once a year, or whenever you make significant changes to your site; a redesign, a platform migration, adding new sections. In between, Google Search Console should be monitored regularly for crawl errors, indexing issues, and Core Web Vitals problems.

Absolutely. Technical SEO can have a significant impact on your search rankings. Issues like slow page speed, poor mobile optimisation, or crawl errors can severely hinder your site’s ability to rank well, regardless of your content quality or backlink profile. By addressing these technical aspects, we can often see quick improvements in search visibility and user engagement metrics.

Yes, and sometimes dramatically. I’ve seen sites jump positions just from fixing crawl errors, improving page speed, or resolving indexing problems. Technical SEO removes the barriers that prevent your content from ranking. If your content is good but your rankings aren’t, technical issues are usually the first place to look.
