Technical SEO audit

Technical SEO is the part of search engine optimization that makes sure Google can crawl, render and index a site, and that its pages load well. AI SEO Vancouver sells it as a single audit with a fix list.

Definition

What technical SEO covers

Technical SEO covers the stages Google describes before any page reaches its results: crawling, where Google's software fetches the page, and indexing, where it reads and stores it. A page that fails either stage can't rank, however good the writing.

Google also asks site owners to aim for good Core Web Vitals, its three measures of loading, responsiveness and visual stability, and publishes a target for each. It adds that good scores alone don't guarantee a top ranking.

The audit

What the technical SEO audit checks

The AI SEO Vancouver technical SEO audit looks at four areas and ranks every issue by effort and likely effect.

  • 01

    Crawling and indexing

    Robots rules, XML sitemap, canonical tags, redirects, broken links and what Search Console reports as indexed or left out.

  • 02

    Speed and stability

    Core Web Vitals from real-user data where it exists, plus the page weight and scripts behind any slow template.

  • 03

    Pages and links

    Titles, headings, duplicate pages and how your own pages link to each other, so the important ones aren't buried.

  • 04
    Local business schema

    Data and measurement

    Local business schema checked in a validator, and analytics and Search Console checked so any fix shows up in your numbers.

Questions about technical SEO

$1,200 CAD + applicable taxes, one time, for a typical small-business site. Published one-time audit prices from Canadian agencies start between about $1,000 and $1,500, and large sites cost more. Ecommerce, migrations and very large sites are quoted after a call.

Not as part of the audit. You get a ranked list your developer can work from and a 60-minute call to walk through it. If you'd like us to make the fixes, we quote that work separately.

Not by itself, and nobody can promise it. Fixes remove what stops Google reading your pages. Whether those pages then rank depends on how useful they are and on your competition.

The standard audit suits the small and mid-size business sites we see across Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. We'll confirm the page count and number of templates before you pay, and quote larger sites separately.
