“Alex and Nina at Breakline have been amazing. They are so knowledgeable and passionate about all they do. As a small business owner, seo has been something that I’ve found really confusing and stressful. Alex explained it all so well and did a really detailed website audit for me, to help me see what I can improve.”

Alex has been quick to reply to my queries and is very helpful. We've decided to commit to another term and will be using them for our other projects. Highly recommend Breakline and Alex.”

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What does a technical SEO audit include?

Our comprehensive technical SEO audit analyses your website's crawlability, indexability, Core Web Vitals, site structure, HTTP status codes, metadata, and page speed performance. You receive a detailed report with prioritised recommendations and strategic guidance for implementing improvements to enhance search engine visibility and user experience.

Do you make changes to our website during the audit?

No, we provide expert analysis and strategic recommendations only. Our technical SEO service is consultancy-based, delivering comprehensive audits and actionable insights. Your team or developers can implement the recommended changes, and we're available for ongoing consultation and guidance throughout the implementation process.

How long does a technical SEO audit take to complete?

Most technical SEO audits are completed within 5-7 business days depending on your website's size and complexity. You'll receive a comprehensive report with prioritised recommendations, implementation timelines, and strategic guidance to help you address technical issues systematically for maximum impact.

What tools do you use for technical SEO analysis?

We utilise industry-leading tools including advanced crawling software, Core Web Vitals analyzers, and comprehensive technical audit platforms. Our analysis covers all critical technical factors that impact search engine performance, providing you with professional-grade insights and recommendations comparable to enterprise-level audits.

Will fixing technical SEO issues improve our search rankings?

Technical SEO improvements create the foundation for better search performance by removing barriers that prevent search engines from properly crawling, indexing, and ranking your content. While we cannot guarantee specific ranking improvements, resolving technical issues typically leads to better visibility and user experience over time.

What is the difference between SEO and technical SEO?

Technical SEO is the behind-the-scenes part of SEO that makes sure search engines can read and index your site properly. SEO as a whole also covers your content (on-page SEO) and how other websites see you, mostly through links (off-page SEO). Read our guide: What’s the difference between on-page, off-page, and technical SEO?.

How much does it cost to hire an SEO expert?

It varies with the provider, the scope of the work and how competitive your industry is. Our technical SEO audits have fixed prices, shown on our technical SEO plans page. Read our guide: How much does an SEO Agency cost?.

Is it worth hiring an SEO agency?

If you are building for the long term, usually yes: SEO is a long-term investment that builds momentum over time. We work on a monthly rolling basis with no contract, so you can judge the work on its results. Read our guide: Is SEO Worth It For My Business?.
