Ranking more content won't help if search engines can't reach your pages
"The average site we inherit has 94 crawl issues actively blocking priority pages. No content investment overcomes a technical crawl wall. You have to fix the foundation first."

Six disciplines. One unified technical audit program.
Click any phase to see what Redefine delivers, what the mock output looks like, and what organic impact to expect. Most agencies stop at step 1. Redefine runs all six.
Phase 01: Site Crawl Audit
Map every URL. Identify every blocker.
We crawl your entire site, map every URL, and identify crawl blocks, redirect chains, orphan pages, and budget waste. Every issue gets a priority rating and an implementation ticket.
- Full site URL map with crawl depth and link equity
- Crawl budget waste analysis (average saves 23%)
- Priority issue list with Jira-ready tickets
Phase 02: Indexation Audit
Find the pages Google is hiding from search.
We cross-reference your sitemap, Google Search Console coverage data, and crawl data to find every indexable page that should be ranking but isn't. Every exclusion gets a root cause and a fix.
- Google Search Console coverage data reconciliation
- Canonical conflict resolution
- Noindex, nofollow, and meta robot audit
Phase 03: Core Web Vitals
Measure LCP, CLS, INP, then write the development tickets to fix them.
We identify the root cause of every Core Web Vitals failure, write implementation specifications, coordinate with your development team on execution, and verify improvements in field data after deployment.
- LCP, CLS, INP measurement at scale
- Root cause identification per template type
- Implementation specifications and post-deploy verification

Phase 04: Schema and Structure
Structured data, canonicals, and internal link equity, all validated.
We implement structured data markup across product, article, FAQ, and organization schemas. Internal link equity is redistributed to your highest-value pages. Canonical conflicts are resolved at root.
- Schema markup implementation across page types
- Internal link equity redistribution strategy
- Canonical tag system overhaul and verification
Phase 05: Authority Gap Analysis
Compare your technical posture to every competitor ranking above you.
We analyze the top 5 competitors outranking you and identify every technical advantage they hold that you don't. The gap matrix becomes your priority action plan for the next sprint cycle.
- Competitor technical posture comparison
- Authority gap matrix by page type
- Prioritized action list with estimated impact
Phase 06: Implementation and Measurement
Every fix implemented. Every impact measured in organic traffic.
We write the development tickets, coordinate implementation with your engineering team, verify every fix in Search Console and GA4, and report the organic traffic delta at the next sprint review.
- Sprint-scoped implementation tickets
- Post-deploy Google Search Console and GA4 verification
- Monthly technical health scorecard delivery
Real-time monitoring that catches issues before they cost rankings
Redefine runs live log file analysis on your server during the audit. This is how we find Googlebot crawl patterns, wasted budget, and server-level issues that standard search engine optimization tools cannot see.

Year-over-year revenue growth from search engine optimization-driven traffic
Four consecutive years of consistent 20%+ annual revenue growth, directly attributable to search engine optimization-driven traffic increases after the technical platform overhaul.
Microphone Madness
Consumer Audio / EcommerceThe challenge
Existing ecommerce platform was difficult to maintain and could not scale. System complexity limited marketing initiatives, constrained performance, and blocked organic growth through technical debt.
The result
0
Year-over-year revenue growth for 4 consecutive years post-launch
Search engine optimization-driven traffic increases contributed directly to higher online sales. Continuous optimization ensures long-term platform stability and sustained growth.
Technical ownership, not technical recommendations
We write the implementation tickets, not just the audit report.
Most agencies deliver a PDF or spreadsheet of recommendations and consider the audit complete. Redefine writes Jira-ready implementation tickets, coordinates with your development or engineering team, and verifies every fix is deployed correctly in Search Console before the sprint closes.
Every technical fix is measured for its organic traffic impact.
We do not declare a fix done when the code is deployed. We track the organic traffic delta for every implemented change using GA4 and Search Console data. Your weekly sprint review shows exactly which technical changes moved which pages and by how much.
Your team needs 2 hours a week. We handle the technical execution.
One sprint review per fortnight (45 minutes). Async feedback on implementation tickets (another hour). You do not manage developers, review crawl logs, or write technical briefs. Redefine owns the full technical execution cycle, from discovery to post-deploy measurement.
What technical search engine optimization buyers ask before briefing us
A full technical search engine optimization audit takes 5 to 10 business days depending on site scale. Sites under 10,000 pages: 5 business days. Sites with 10,000 to 100,000 pages: 7 to 10 business days. Enterprise sites above 100,000 pages are scoped individually before the engagement starts. The audit deliverable includes a prioritized issue list, implementation tickets, and a sprint schedule for fixes.
Redefine implements technical search engine optimization fixes across Shopify, BigCommerce, WordPress, Webflow, HubSpot CMS, headless platforms (Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby), and custom-built architectures. Implementation is handled by engineers at the platform level. We do not just document the fix and leave it to your team.
A one-time audit delivers the full issue list, sprint plan, and implementation tickets. You then implement in-house or with your own team. An ongoing retainer includes the audit, implementation, post-deploy verification, and monthly health monitoring. Technical debt re-accumulates over time. Most clients at 10,000 pages or above benefit from the retainer because new issues appear with every site change and content push.
Standalone technical search engine optimization audits are scoped per site size. Audits for sites under 10,000 pages start at $1,800. Audits for larger sites are scoped after a discovery call. Ongoing technical search engine optimization retainers that include implementation and monthly monitoring start at $2,500 per month and are scoped with line-by-line pricing before any billing begins. See the Search Engine Optimization Audit page for more detail.
Yes, and often more critically. Sites that rank well have already won ground that technical debt can silently erode. Google algorithm updates, site migrations, platform upgrades, and content management system changes all introduce new crawl and indexation issues. Sites that maintain strong technical foundations compound their ranking gains over time. Sites that neglect technical health plateau or drop without any visible cause.
