SEO Issues
Developers generally do one thing good and that’s “development”, however, a lot of developers are just that, they aren;t SEOs and subsequently when they develop, they can follow their “technical views” over best practice which can and does lead to SEO issues.

We've helped hundreds of businesses resolve complex SEO issues and achieve sustainable organic growth.
If your website has been consistently having SEO issues it could be down to a bad SEO strategy, but, it could also be down to how it has been built or the tech used by a developer/s which could be making your site harder to crawl and index.
We work with web developers & web development agencies to fix SEO issues on pre-existing or new websites (pre-launch) to ensure that things go smoothly. We charge from £150 p/h & can provide clear & concise advice and guidance.

Around the clock support
We provide developer SEO support to assist with development and new website build projects. We help individual developers, in-house developers and development agencies who may have been given a website design/build brief that also requires “SEO considerations”.
We’ve worked with numerous developers & development agencies over the years, so we’re well acquainted with everything from tech stack selection through to providing SEO guidance for best practice from URL handing to in-page elements such as dynamic navigation, dynamic page loading effects, Javascript button elements and lots more!
The reason we have a section for “developer SEO issues” is because we often are asked to provide SEO support to developers & dev agencies who are amidst a website build. We can typically provide support in the following contexts:
We can help with everything from the selection and pitching phase through to project delivery, ensuring any web or application build is done in such a way that it can rank, be indexed properly and is accessible to search crawlers, AI crawlers, LLMS and more.

THE MOST COMMON ISSUES WE DEAL WITH VIA DEVELOPERS
So generally the most common issues we tend to deal with via developers/dev agencies includes but is not limited to:
Selection of a website technical stack and rendering output - so ensuring developers choose sites that can be delivered via SSR (server side rendering), where the website itself is accessible, indexable, crawlable
Addressing build issues - we often deal with things such as element build issues or over-utilisation of javascript elements, for example button JS events that build menus dynamically (so menu is not in the original DOM) or things such as dynamic scroll based loading, in-page JS content rendering
Fixing configuration issues on staging sites - from blocking staging sites from being indexed through to addressing configuration issues from canonicals to HREFLANG tags
Identifying UX issues - a key part of SEO is user behaviour - so it is vital to ensure the UX is clean, easy to use everything works on mobiles (mobile friendly), easy to scroll, sub-navigate etc
Pre-launch SEO planning & implementation - so, things such as correcting any copied over content with legacy links through to checking canonicals, meta robots, URL consistency, URL accessibility, creating redirect maps etc.
Post-launch SEO checks and sign off - so checking for GSC, GA4, GTM, tags and ensuring that the site is indexable, fetch as google to see rendered output and more
