Services / Technical SEO
Give your best pages a sound foundation.
Find and resolve the technical problems that make a law firm website difficult to crawl, navigate or use.
Find the issue behind the symptom.
A service page missing from search might be blocked, duplicated, poorly linked or simply not selected for indexing. A slow page might be dominated by an oversized image, third-party scripts or server response time. Different causes need different fixes.
We combine a crawl with browser checks and the data your firm can provide. Search Console and real-user performance data add context; a crawler’s warning alone is not proof of a business-critical fault.
Prioritise the parts that affect access.
Crawling and indexing
Review status codes, robots directives, canonical links and sitemap entries. Check that important service pages are reachable through normal internal links.
Architecture and redirects
Identify broken paths, duplicate destinations and unnecessary redirect chains. Plan URL changes around the closest relevant content and existing evidence.
Performance and mobile behaviour
Inspect image delivery, fonts, scripts and layout stability. Distinguish controlled browser tests from field data collected from real visitors.
Visible content and schema
Confirm that key information is rendered and structured data matches it. Use appropriate types without invented reviews, local offices or eligibility claims.
Hand over fixes someone can verify.
Planning a relaunch? Use our law firm website migration checklist to agree page decisions, implementation owners and launch checks before briefing the development work.
Document the affected pages
Record the issue, representative URLs, supporting evidence and the expected behaviour. Separate site-wide template faults from isolated content errors.
Agree implementation ownership
We implement within the agreed access or provide a developer brief. Dependencies, staging and recovery arrangements are resolved before a production change.
Retest the changed behaviour
Recheck the specific problem and the journeys it could affect. Record remaining constraints and any monitoring needed after release.
Technical quality supports the wider brief.
Fixing an indexing directive does not make thin content persuasive. A faster page does not establish expertise. Technical work supports SEO and content by making the useful information easier to reach and use.
For a planned redesign, involve technical review before URLs and templates change. Our website redesign service includes migration planning in the proposed scope when it is needed.
Your questions, answered.
Will you guarantee a perfect performance score?
No. We agree the pages, devices, conditions and performance goals to assess. Lab scores and real-user experience measure different things, and third-party dependencies can constrain the result.
Can you work with our developer?
Yes. An implementation brief can identify the issue, affected URLs, proposed fix and acceptance check so your developer can assess and complete the work.
Does schema guarantee rich results or AI citations?
No. Structured data describes supported content. Platforms decide eligibility and whether to show enhanced results or cite a page.
