Technical SEO · Manchester
Technical SEO in Manchester.Fix what stops Google seeing you.
Good content can't rank if search engines can't crawl, render or trust the pages it sits on. We find the technical problems holding your site back and fix them, starting with a clear audit.
What we cover
The technical foundations of search
Crawlability and indexing
We check which pages Google can reach, which it has chosen to index and why others are left out, from stray noindex tags and broken internal links to duplicate URLs and wrong canonicals.
Site speed and Core Web Vitals
Slow loading, layout shifts and laggy taps cost visitors before they read a word. We trace the causes, such as heavy images, render-blocking scripts or slow hosting, and fix them in order of impact.
Structured data and schema
Accurate schema helps search engines understand your organisation, services, articles and FAQs. We add or correct it using only facts that are true about your business.
Site migrations and redirects
Changing platform, domain or URL structure is where rankings are most often lost. We map every old URL to its new home with permanent redirects and check the move after launch.
JavaScript rendering
Sites built with modern frameworks can look complete to visitors but empty to crawlers. We test what search engines actually receive and move key content into server-rendered HTML where needed.
XML sitemaps and robots.txt
A clean sitemap lists the pages you want found; robots.txt keeps crawlers out of the ones you don't. We make sure both are accurate, consistent and submitted in Search Console.
The audit
Start with a technical SEO audit
- 01
Crawl and measure
We crawl the site, review Search Console data and test real page speed on mobile and desktop.
- 02
Prioritise the fixes
You get a short report ranking each issue by likely impact and effort, in plain English.
- 03
Fix and verify
We make the changes, or brief your developer, then confirm in Search Console that they have taken effect.
Audits and fixes are priced individually and confirmed before you commit. Technical SEO also sits within our wider SEO marketing work, and every Emedia website is built with these foundations in place.

Technical SEO questions
- What is technical SEO?
- It is the work that lets search engines find, render and understand your website: crawling, indexing, speed, structured data, redirects and sitemaps. Content and links matter too, but they struggle if the technical foundation is broken.
- What does a technical SEO audit include?
- A review of crawling and indexing, page speed and Core Web Vitals, structured data, redirects, JavaScript rendering, sitemaps and robots.txt, with a prioritised list of fixes written in plain English.
- Can you fix the issues as well as find them?
- Yes. We can carry out the fixes ourselves, or hand a clear brief to your current developer if you prefer to keep them.
- We are moving to a new website. When should we involve you?
- Before the new site goes live. Redirect mapping and pre-launch checks are far easier than recovering lost rankings afterwards.
- How much does technical SEO cost?
- It depends on the size and state of the site. Audits and fixes are priced individually and confirmed before you commit.
