What technical SEO covers
- Crawling and indexing – robots.txt, sitemaps, canonical tags, noindex, faceted navigation

- Structured data (schema.org) for rich results
- International SEO and hreflang
- Log file analysis and crawl budget for large sites
When you need a technical SEO expert
Call one in before a relaunch or domain migration (the most common cause of sudden traffic loss), after an unexplained drop, when pages are “Discovered – currently not indexed” in Search Console, or when a large shop or publisher site grows faster than its structure.
How to vet a technical SEO freelancer
Ask which crawlers and tools they use (Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, log analysers), request an anonymised audit sample, and check they can talk to developers in concrete tickets rather than vague advice. Our SEO tools guide lists the standard toolkit.
Typical deliverables and cost
A technical audit is usually a fixed-price project; migrations are scoped by number of URLs and templates. Senior technical specialists sit at the top of the rate ranges – and are usually worth it, because a failed migration costs far more.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What does a technical SEO freelancer do?
They audit and fix how search engines crawl, render and index your site – covering architecture, internal links, canonicals, speed, structured data, JavaScript and migrations.
Do I need technical SEO for a small website?
A one-off audit is worthwhile for most sites, especially after a redesign. Small sites rarely need ongoing technical retainers.
Can a technical SEO freelancer work with my developers?
Yes – good ones write clear, prioritised tickets and review changes on staging before they go live.
