// In short

Is it a technical SEO problem?

Choose Technical SEO when pages are missing from Google, Search Console shows errors, the site is slow on phones, or traffic dropped after a migration or redesign. If pages are indexed but don’t rank, On-Page SEO fits better; for AI tools, AI Search Optimization builds on this work. MD Shamim Mahmud audits crawling, indexing, redirects, Core Web Vitals, canonicals, sitemaps and schema, ranks the issues by impact and fixes them, mostly on WordPress.

// Who it’s for

Signs of a technical problem

Technical issues are invisible on the page but very visible in your traffic.

  • Pages missing from Google

    Search Console shows “Crawled – currently not indexed” or pages simply don’t appear.

  • Traffic dropped suddenly

    After a redesign, migration or plugin change, visits fell.

  • Slow on phones

    Core Web Vitals fail and pages take seconds to become usable.

  • Errors everywhere

    404s, redirect chains, duplicate pages or sitemap errors.

// What’s included

What the audit checks

The audit covers all of these. With audit + fixes, the agreed fixes are made on your WordPress site.

  • Index coverage

    Which pages are indexed, excluded and why.

  • robots.txt & meta robots

    Nothing important blocked by accident.

  • Canonicals & duplicates

    Duplicate URLs, parameters and thin tag pages.

  • Redirects & 404s

    Chains, loops and broken internal links.

  • XML sitemaps

    Clean sitemaps submitted to Google and Bing.

  • Core Web Vitals

    LCP, INP and CLS, with the causes found.

  • Mobile usability

    Layout, tap targets and content parity on phones.

  • Structured data

    Schema errors and missing types.

  • Internal linking

    Orphan pages and crawl depth.

  • Priority fix list

    Issues ranked by impact, with effort for each.

Technical SEO questions

What site owners ask about indexing, speed and errors.

Still have a question? Ask me directly

How much does technical SEO cost?

A technical audit with a ranked fix list starts from $199, and audit plus fixes on WordPress from $549 (USD), about 30% below what comparable freelancers typically charge. Large or complex sites are quoted after a free call.

How do payments work?

You pay 50% to start and 50% when the audit is delivered or the fixes are live. Every payment comes with an invoice and a receipt.

Why are my pages “Crawled – currently not indexed”?

Usually because Google sees them as low value, duplicate or poorly linked. The audit finds which reason applies to each group of pages.

Can you fix Core Web Vitals on WordPress?

Usually, yes: image sizes, render-blocking scripts, heavy plugins and layout shifts are common causes. Some fixes depend on hosting.

My traffic dropped after a redesign. Can you help?

Yes. That’s often missing redirects, blocked pages or lost content, which the audit checks first.

Do you work on sites that aren’t WordPress?

The audit works on any site. Fixes are done on WordPress; for other platforms, the fix list goes to your developer.

How long does it take?

An audit usually takes a few days; fixes take a few more depending on the list.

Will this improve my rankings?

Fixing technical issues removes obstacles. Rankings also depend on content and competition, so no position is guaranteed.
