for Websites That Google Can Actually Read
My technical SEO Edinburgh services help businesses identify and resolve problems affecting website crawling, rendering, indexing, speed and search accessibility. I audit Core Web Vitals, site architecture, redirects, structured data and mobile performance. The goal is to give important pages stronger technical foundations so Google can access and understand them more reliably. Your website may look professional to customers while hiding problems that prevent important pages from performing well in search. Perhaps a recent redesign changed your URLs without proper redirects. Your online shop might be producing thousands of unnecessary filter pages. Or Google may be excluding service pages you expect customers to find. Publishing more content will not necessarily solve those problems.
I help Edinburgh businesses identify technical barriers, understand their impact and prioritise practical fixes. I am Hridoy Chowdhury, a UK-based SEO Consultant, AEO, GEO and AI Search Specialist with 7+ years of SEO experience and 3,500+ completed SEO projects. I work with businesses across the UK, including Edinburgh, providing technical SEO analysis and optimisation support.
When Is Technical SEO Edinburgh the Real Problem?
Technical SEO problems are not always obvious from the appearance of a website.
A business can have attractive landing pages and useful content but still struggle because search engines cannot consistently access or interpret them.
On websites I audit, I look for problems such as:
- Important service pages missing from Google's index
- Incorrect noindex directives
- robots.txt rules blocking necessary crawling
- Broken internal links
- Redirect chains and missing redirects
- Duplicate or conflicting canonical URLs
- Slow mobile page performance
- Excessive ecommerce filter URLs
- JavaScript rendering problems
- Incorrect structured data
- Pages disconnected from the main navigation
Not every warning reported by an SEO tool deserves immediate attention. I focus on whether the issue affects important pages, customer experience or the ability of search engines to understand the website.
What Technical SEO Services Edinburgh Do I Provide?
My technical SEO work covers the underlying systems that support search engine access and website performance.
Crawling and Website Indexing Issues
Search engines must be able to discover and access important pages before those pages can compete in organic search.
I review:
- Google Search Console Page Indexing reports
- URL Inspection results
- XML sitemaps
- robots.txt rules
- Meta robots and X-Robots-Tag directives
- Canonical tags
- HTTP status codes
- Orphan pages
- Duplicate and alternative URLs
- Internal link accessibility
For example, an Edinburgh solicitor might have several valuable service pages excluded from Google’s index because of a configuration error. I investigate the cause before recommending changes. Submitting an XML sitemap or requesting indexing does not guarantee that Google will include a page in search results.
Core Web Vitals Edinburgh
Core Web Vitals measure important aspects of the experience real visitors have when using a website.
I review three main metrics:
Largest Contentful Paint (LCP)
Measures how quickly the main visible content loads.
Interaction to Next Paint (INP)
Measures how responsive a page is to user interactions.
Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS)
Measures unexpected movement of visible page elements. I use relevant performance reports to identify issues worth investigating. A slow booking page can frustrate visitors before they complete an enquiry.
However, improving a Core Web Vitals score does not automatically make a page more relevant for its target keywords. I consider performance alongside content quality and business value.
Site Speed Optimisation Edinburgh
Website speed depends on several technical factors.
My recommendations may include:
- Image compression and suitable formats
- Better caching configurations
- Reducing unnecessary scripts
- Reviewing third-party applications
- Optimising important CSS and JavaScript
- Appropriate lazy loading
- Hosting and server response analysis
- Content delivery network assessment
- Font loading improvements
I do not recommend installing additional performance plugins without understanding the existing website configuration. A speed fix should improve the real visitor experience without breaking important functionality.
Site Architecture and Internal Linking
A website's structure should help both visitors and search engines reach important content.
I examine navigation, categories, breadcrumbs and internal links.
For example, an ecommerce business may have useful product categories that are several clicks away from the homepage.
A professional services website may have important landing pages that receive almost no internal links.
I review whether relevant pages are connected logically and whether navigation reflects the business’s services.
The goal is not to force every page into an artificially shallow structure.
It is to make useful content discoverable.
Redirects and Website Migrations
Website redesigns, platform changes and domain migrations can create technical SEO risks.
I assess:
- Existing URL inventories
- Redirect requirements
- Important page relationships
- Broken links and 404 responses
- Canonical configurations
- Staging site indexing settings
- XML sitemap changes
- Post-launch indexing and performance
A migration should preserve valuable content and direct visitors and search engines to the most appropriate new URLs. I can prepare technical recommendations, assist with agreed implementation and review the site after launch. A migration cannot be guaranteed to preserve every ranking or visitor.
Structured Data and Schema Markup
Structured data helps supported search systems understand specific information about website content.
Depending on the site, I may recommend schema.org types such as:
- Organization
- Person
- Service
- Product
- BreadcrumbList
- Article
- LocalBusiness for eligible businesses
Other structured data types may be appropriate when the website meets their requirements. I review JSON-LD implementation and validation results. I do not add unsupported ratings, reviews or business locations simply to make schema appear more complete. nValid structured data does not guarantee enhanced search features.
Mobile SEO and JavaScript Rendering
Modern websites often depend on JavaScript to display important information.
Google can render many JavaScript-based pages, but implementation problems can still prevent key content or links from being discovered reliably. I review whether relevant page information is accessible through the rendered document.
For React, Vue and headless websites, I consider the suitability of server-side rendering, static generation and other implementation approaches. I also review mobile usability, navigation and important page functionality.
How Does Technical SEO Support AI Search?
AI search systems do not all access websites in the same way. Different crawlers and search tools may have different capabilities and purposes.
Googlebot, GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot and other documented systems should not be treated as interchangeable. I review how your website’s robots.txt policies, technical configuration and content delivery affect access by relevant crawlers.
My technical considerations may include:
- Accessible HTML content
- Clear page titles and headings
- Appropriate structured data
- Consistent canonical URLs
- Server responses
- JavaScript dependencies
- robots.txt and access controls
- Genuine authorship and business information
Some AI-related crawling controls affect training, while others concern search discovery or information retrieval. These differences should be understood before changing access settings. I also consider AEO and GEO opportunities where they connect with the underlying technical setup. However, allowing a crawler access does not guarantee citations, recommendations or visibility in AI-generated answers.
- process
What Is My Technical SEO Process?
I follow a practical sequence that separates investigation from implementation.
Step 01
Understand Your Website and Goals
I review your platform, important pages, target customers and existing SEO concerns. I also identify whether the website has recently been redesigned, migrated or significantly changed.
Step 02
Complete a Technical SEO Audit
I examine crawlability, indexing, internal linking, performance and technical configurations. Where access is available, I use Google Search Console and relevant testing tools.
Step 03
Prioritise Problems
I organise findings according to likely impact and implementation requirements. For example, an accidental noindex directive on a major service page deserves more attention than a minor markup warning.
Step 04
Prepare and Implement Fixes
I provide actionable recommendations explaining the issue, affected URLs and intended correction. Depending on the platform and agreed scope, I can assist with implementation or coordinate with your existing developer.
Step 05
Validate Changes and Monitor
I review completed changes and relevant performance data. I also check for unintended consequences, especially after redirects, plugin changes and website migrations.

Which Website Platforms Do I Work With?
I have experience with WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix and Webflow.
Each platform has different technical SEO constraints and implementation options.
WordPress and WooCommerce
I review plugin settings, indexing rules, site structure, performance issues and ecommerce URL behaviour.
Shopify
I focus on relevant collection and product pages, internal linking, crawl efficiency and platform-specific technical limitations.
Wix and Webflow
I assess available SEO settings, indexing, metadata, structured data and site performance options.
Custom and JavaScript-based websites
Technical analysis can also cover custom websites, with implementation depending on the framework, hosting and development resources. For platform-specific requirements, visit my proposed WordPress SEO Edinburgh and Shopify SEO Edinburgh service pages once published.

What I Will Not Promise
I will not guarantee first position on Google, immediate indexing or a fixed increase in organic traffic.
I will not promise that every Core Web Vitals score can reach 100 or that a migration will preserve rankings without fluctuation.
Google controls indexing and ranking decisions.
I focus on correcting genuine technical problems, validating changes and giving important website pages a stronger foundation.
You can review examples of previous SEO work on my SEO case studies.
Technical SEO pricing depends on the size of your website, platform, complexity and level of implementation required.
A small WordPress business website may need a focused indexing and performance audit.
An ecommerce site containing thousands of products, filters and URL variations may need more extensive technical analysis.
I recommend a project scope after reviewing the main requirements.
