Technical SEO for Hand-Coded Websites

This isn't a PDF audit that sits in a drawer. We prioritise your technical SEO backlog, ship the fixes into production, and validate outcomes with real data. Schema, crawl controls, entity alignment, and Core Web Vitals — implemented, not just recommended.

What's included in an implementation sprint

  • Schema planning and deployment: Service, LocalBusiness, FAQPage, BlogPosting, BreadcrumbList — scoped to your content, not templated boilerplate
  • Metadata and canonical policy: consistent title tags, meta descriptions, and canonical URLs across every page — no duplicates, no conflicts
  • Crawl and index controls: robots.txt, XML sitemap hygiene, noindex where needed, and proper internal linking signals so Google crawls what matters
  • Internal linking alignment: descriptive anchor text, service-to-proof linking, and blog-to-service conversion routes

Every implementation gets documented. You see what changed, why, and how to verify it in Search Console.

Entity and GEO readiness

  • NAP consistency: your business name, address, and phone number match character-for-character across your site, Google Business Profile, and directory listings
  • LocalBusiness alignment: schema that tells Google exactly what you do, where you operate, and how to contact you — linked to your social profiles via sameAs
  • FAQ extraction structure: content formatted so AI models (Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT) can cite your answers directly
  • llms.txt readiness: a structured machine-readable file that gives AI crawlers consistent, accurate facts about your business

This matters now. AI-powered search is pulling structured answers from sites that present them clearly. If your competitors are structured and you're not, they get cited instead.

Who this is for

This service suits businesses with hand-coded or custom-built websites that need technical SEO implemented properly — not slapped on via a plugin.

It's also right for businesses migrating away from WordPress or page builders and wanting a clean technical foundation from the start.

If you're on a standard WordPress theme and want SEO work within that system, we can advise — but our implementation strengths are with custom codebases where we control the markup directly.

How this differs from an SEO retainer

Most SEO retainers produce monthly reports. This is implementation work — we ship changes into your codebase, validate them with real data, and close the ticket.

We've run technical sprints on projects like Accudo Solutions and Unity Tech, where schema, internal linking, and crawl controls were implemented as part of the build rather than bolted on by a separate team months later.
