# Technical SEO

> Technical SEO makes sure search engines and AI crawlers can find, render and understand every important page on your site. We fix crawl and index problems, duplicate and canonical issues, redirects, internal links, rendering, page speed and structured data, and we write each fix so your developer can apply it.

Most ranking problems we inherit are technical. Pages that are blocked, duplicated or invisible without JavaScript cannot rank or be cited, however good they are.

## Why it matters now
Google's AI features and the AI assistants that search the web all start with crawling. A technical problem hides a page from every one of them at once.

## What is included
- Crawl of the full site with rendered and raw HTML comparison
- Index coverage review in Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools
- Canonical, duplicate and parameter handling
- Redirect chains, broken links and orphan pages
- Internal linking and site architecture changes
- XML sitemaps, robots.txt and crawler policies

## How we do it
1. **Crawl.** Crawl the site the way Google and AI crawlers do.
2. **Diagnose.** Rank issues by page type and business impact, not by tool warnings.
3. **Fix.** Write developer-ready fixes, or make them ourselves on Wix and headless sites.
4. **Verify.** Re-crawl and confirm the change in Search Console.

## Deliverables
- Technical audit with severity by page type
- Developer tickets
- Redirect and canonical maps
- Post-fix verification report

## Who it is for
- Sites with pages that will not index
- Businesses after a redesign or platform change
- Large sites with duplicate or filtered URLs

## Frequently asked questions
### How is severity decided?

Severity depends on the issue and the type of page. A noindex tag on a service page is critical, while the same tag on a blog tag archive is often intentional. We explain when an issue is safe to ignore.

### Can you make the fixes on Wix?

Yes. We build and maintain Wix Studio sites every day, so we can apply most fixes directly.
