Technical SEO Specialists

In the world of search engine optimisation (SEO), there are several types of specialisms. One of the most important is technical SEO. This area is critical in optimising your website for search engines and improving its overall performance.

How do we approach Technical SEO at Devstars?

Technical SEO is about attention to detail and keeping abreast of the changing technical landscape. Search engines evolve. Their algorithms change and it’s important to change with them.

 

Here are some of the key tasks:

 

Website Audits and Analysis

 

The first step in any technical SEO campaign is a comprehensive website audit. This involves analysing your website’s technical infrastructure to identify any issues or areas that need improvement. A technical SEO specialist might use a variety of tools and techniques to conduct this audit, such as:

  • Crawling and indexing analysis.
  • Speed and performance testing.
  • Mobile-friendliness testing.
  • Schema markup analysis.
  • Website security analysis.

We use tools to check for broken links, missing or poorly configured HTML tags and code-to-content ratios.

Based on the audit results, the specialist will create a prioritised list of recommendations to address any issues or opportunities for improvement.

Website Optimization

Once the audit is complete, the technical SEO specialist will work to implement the recommended changes to your website. This might include things like

  • Optimising website speed and performance.
  • Improving website architecture and navigation.
  • Implementing structured data and schema markup.
  • Fixing broken links and redirects.
  • Improving website security with HTTPS and SSL.
  • Optimising website content for search engines.

These changes can have a significant impact on your website’s performance in search results, which can lead to increased traffic, leads, and sales.

Monitoring and Reporting

Finally, a technical SEO specialist will continue to monitor your website’s performance and make adjustments as needed. This might include ongoing analysis and optimisation, as well as regular reporting on key performance indicators (KPIs) like:

  • Organic search traffic.
  • Keyword rankings.
  • Click-through rates (CTRs).
  • Bounce rates.
  • Conversion rates.

Structured Data

Search engines have adopted tags that present content as specific types of information. When used well, it can have a huge impact on how your website is viewed and heard (Google Home, Alexa, Siri etc.).

We use Rich or Structured data whenever possible to give our clients the best chance of being seen. A good example is how we indicate to Google that a piece of content on SlimFast’s site is a recipe, and within that, we specify ingredients, prep time, cooking time, calories and ratings, for example.

Using structured pages increases your chance of being highlighted as a specific type of data, as shown above, and can also increase your chances of appearing in the people also ask the panel.
