Service 02 / Technical SEO

Content but no traffic?
The problem is usually technical

Most sites that publish and get nothing aren't failing on content —

search engines never read the content. I inspect raw HTML, index status,

structured data and performance page by page, with measured numbers.

Who this is for

Does this sound familiar?

「We published dozens of articles and Google indexed none of them」

「Search Console says crawled but not indexed — what do we actually do?」

「Traffic halved after our redesign and nobody knows why」

「An SEO agency gave us a keyword spreadsheet and nothing changed」

What you get

01Per-page crawl: body length, H1 count, canonical, status code, structured data types
02Raw HTML inspection: curl the response without JS execution to see what a crawler sees
03Search Console and Bing data cross-checked, with each index status classified by cause
04A prioritised issue list: evidence, root cause, fix method and expected effect per item
05Remediation (fix tier): SSR conversion, duplicate consolidation, sitemap cleanup, schema, contrast fixes
06Before/after comparison report using the same metric set, with the numbers that moved
07Core Web Vitals review: LCP, CLS, TBT with Lighthouse and PageSpeed evidence

What I don't do

Stating the limits saves both sides more time than listing capabilities.

No ranking guarantees

Anyone guaranteeing page one is selling you something false. I can guarantee technical blockers are removed and indexability improves — not positions.

No bought links

No link purchases, no PBNs. Short-term lift, long-term liability — I'll decline.

No content strategy

Technical layer only. Which topics and keywords to target is a content decision that needs you or a content strategist.

No brand-new sites

Under three months old there isn't enough index history to diagnose. I'd rather tell you to accumulate content first and come back.

Fixed pricing, not hourly. Under $2,200: 50% upfront, 50% on acceptance. Above: three instalments. Third-party costs (server, API, domain) are not included.

Why take my word

Common questions

Can I hand the report straight to my developer?

Yes. Each issue states the URL, the observed symptom, the evidence, how to fix it and how to verify. Your developer can act without me in the room.

Why do some sites score well and still get no traffic?

Technical health is necessary, not sufficient. A high score means "indexable"; ranking also depends on content quality, competition and links. The report separates what's technical from what technology can't fix.

My site is WordPress / Shopify — can you audit it?

Yes. The diagnosis looks at output, not the stack. Fix instructions target your platform; nobody is asked to migrate.

How long until results?

Fixes take effect immediately, but recrawling and re-evaluation take time. Typically 2–6 weeks for index changes; traffic depends on competition. I won't promise a date.

Run the free check first

Thirty seconds tells you whether something obvious is broken. If it is, then consider the full audit. Either way you'll have the report.

Public pricing, written boundaries, and an honest no when it's not a fit. That saves more time than any promise.
