Frequently asked questions

What does a technical SEO agency actually do?

A technical SEO agency audits, identifies, and fixes the backend elements of your website to help search engine spiders crawl and index your pages more efficiently. This includes improving site speed, fixing broken links, resolving duplicate content issues, and optimizing site architecture.

How much do technical SEO agency services cost?

Costs vary significantly based on the size of your website and the complexity of the project. Most reputable agencies work on a retainer model starting from a few thousand pounds per month, or charge a one-off fee for comprehensive site audits and migration consults.

How long does it take to see results from technical SEO?

Because technical SEO involves search engines re-crawling and re-indexing your website, meaningful improvements in rankings and organic traffic typically take between three to six months to materialize.
