Without technical SEO, your content falls on deaf ears and your link building is wasted effort. Google cannot rank what it cannot crawl, index and understand. Technical SEO is the bedrock that everything else sits on. Site speed, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, XML sitemaps and crawl budget optimisation are not optional. They are essential. UNKNWN audits, optimises and maintains the technical health of your site so search engines can find, understand and rank your content.
Most websites are built without a second thought given to technical SEO. Developers and designers focus on aesthetics and functionality, not what Google needs to crawl and understand your content. This results in slow-loading sites that fail Core Web Vitals, poor crawl efficiency that wastes your crawl budget, broken schema markup that prevents rich snippets, and redirect chains that lose link equity.
Pages are bloated with unnecessary JavaScript, CSS is not minified, images are not optimised, and rendering is not optimised for mobile first. Lazy loading is missing, server response times are slow, and Largest Contentful Paint scores are terrible. Your crawlers cannot reach important content because of robots.txt mistakes or noindex tags on pages that should be indexed.
Without proper XML sitemaps, canonical tags and hreflang implementation, Google wastes crawl budget on duplicate content and low priority pages. Mobile usability issues go undetected. Structured data is missing or incorrect, so Google cannot understand your products, reviews, events or organisation information.
The result is a site that ranks poorly despite having solid content and legitimate backlinks. Technical SEO fixes are often worth more than new content or link building. Google has made Core Web Vitals a ranking factor. Sites that fail are losing rankings and traffic every single day. Technical SEO is not optional. It is survival.
Image compression, code minification, render-blocking resource elimination and server response time improvements. Core Web Vitals scores improved to meet Google's ranking thresholds.
Crawl budget analysis, internal linking audit, orphaned page identification and sitemap optimisation. Google can find, crawl and index every page that matters on your site.
Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift and Interaction to Next Paint addressed through targeted fixes. Google uses these signals directly in its ranking algorithm.
Structured data added for your business type, products, services, FAQs and reviews. Schema markup enables rich results in Google Search and helps AI systems accurately describe your business.
Mobile usability audit covering tap target sizes, font readability, content width and interstitial issues. Google indexes the mobile version of your site — it needs to pass, not just exist.
Redirect chain identification and cleanup, broken link auditing and 404 error resolution. Link equity flows where it should, not lost through chains of unnecessary hops.

Generative Engine Optimisation and Answer Engine Optimisation are the disciplines shaping the next era of search visibility. Both depend entirely on a technically sound website. AI systems cannot cite content they can't crawl, understand or trust. Technical SEO is what makes GEO and AEO possible.
Schema markup is the primary technical mechanism through which AI Overviews, voice search and featured snippets understand your content. Organisation schema, FAQ schema, service schema, local business schema. We implement the full structured data architecture correctly, so Google and AI-powered tools can accurately surface and cite your business.
If a page can't be crawled efficiently, it won't be cited by AI systems regardless of its content quality. We audit and resolve every technical barrier to crawlability: robots.txt configuration, XML sitemap accuracy, internal linking architecture, redirect chains and canonical errors. A clean crawl profile is the prerequisite for GEO performance.
Page speed and Core Web Vitals are ranking signals for traditional SEO and quality signals for AI citation. Authoritative, fast-loading content is disproportionately surfaced by AI Overviews. We optimise your technical performance to meet the standards that both Google's algorithm and its AI systems reward.
