SEO agency · the technical side
Technical SEO for New Zealand websites.
Your site looks fine to you. Google sees something else — pages it can't read, pages too slow to bother with, and three copies of the same page fighting each other. That's what this is about, and none of it is visible to a customer.

What changes
What it's worthonce it's fixed.
None of this work shows up on the page, which is why it gets skipped. It still decides whether anyone ever sees the pages you already paid for.
- 01Pages that count
Stop your own pages competing with each other
When the same page sits at three slightly different addresses, Google splits the credit and none of them rank. We point them all at one address, so the credit lands in one place and the page you care about starts showing up.
- 02Speed
Stop losing people before the page loads
Most of your visitors are on a phone, often on mobile data. A slow page loses a share of them before they see what you sell — and Google ranks slow pages lower on top of that. We cut the load time by fixing oversized images and the code holding the page up.
- 03Attention
Point Google at the pages that earn you money
Google only reads so much of a site before it moves on. On a lot of sites it burns that time on filter and search pages nobody should land on, and never reaches the service pages you want ranking. We shut the useless ones off so the good ones get read.
What it actually means
The part nobody seesthat decides everything.
Google sends a program around your site to read it. This work is making sure that program can reach every page, understand what's on it, and load it fast enough to be worth ranking. Get it wrong and the pages you paid for never get a fair go, however good the words on them are.
There are a few clear signs something's wrong. Your pages are better than the ones beating you and you're still stuck. Pages you know exist don't turn up in Google at all. The site drags on a phone. Or the same page is live at two or three slightly different web addresses, so Google splits the credit and none of them rank.
Nobody wakes up wanting technical SEO. They want to know why a website that cost real money isn't bringing in work. This is often the answer — and you deserve it in plain English before you pay anyone to fix it.
What's included
What's includedin a technical job.
Three parts: finding what's broken, fixing it, and making sure it stays fixed.
01
Finding it
- We read your whole site the way Google does, page by page
- We check the speed against what real visitors get, not a lab test
- We find the pages Google has left out of its results, and why
- We map how your pages link to each other
- We check the code describing your business matches what's on the page
02
Fixing it
- Telling Google which version of a duplicate page is the real one
- Shrinking images and tidying code so pages load faster
- Dead links and broken redirects fixed or removed
- Rebuilding the map of your site that Google reads first
- Code that tells Google your hours, your area and your phone number
03
Keeping it fixed
- Speed checked every month, not once at the start
- A check after every site change, in case something broke
- Google's attention kept on the pages that matter
- A plain-English report on what changed and why it matters
- We tell you if an update quietly undid a fix
How it runs
How it happens,week by week.
Same four steps as the rest of our work, aimed at fixing what's broken before building anything new.
Week 1
We find what's wrong
We read the whole site the way Google does and check the speed against real visitor data. You get a plain-English list of what's broken and what it's costing you.
Weeks 2–4
The fixes go live
Duplicate pages sorted, dead links cleared, images and code tidied, the site map rebuilt. Nothing ships without a before-and-after check that it actually worked.
Month 2
Google catches up
Google re-reads the fixed pages and reconsiders them. This is when pages it had left out start appearing, and the speed scores start going green.
Ongoing
We keep watching
We check every month, so a new page or a site update doesn't quietly undo the work. The report stays in plain English, not a data dump.

The technical side is one part of the work we do for New Zealand businesses. These reviews were earned by the wider Digital Movement business rather than by the New Zealand company, and they're shown honestly rather than dressed up as a technical portfolio we don't have.

Common questions
The questions weget asked most.
Straight answers about the technical side of getting found.
It's the work that lets Google reach your pages, understand them and load them fast enough to rank them. It covers whether Google can read your site at all, whether your pages make it into its results, how fast they load, and whether duplicate versions of the same page are confusing it. It isn't the words on the page — it's whether the words ever get read.
The clearest sign is a good page that won't rank. If sites with thinner pages are beating you, or pages you know exist don't turn up in Google at all, or your site drags on a phone — that's a technical problem, not a content problem.
Both. The first pass clears the backlog, usually in the first month. After that it's light monitoring, because a new page, plugin or site update can quietly bring a problem back months later.
Directly. Google measures how fast your pages load, how quickly they respond, and whether things jump around while loading — and uses all three to decide rankings. Fixing oversized images and the code holding a page up is standard work here.
On-page work is about one page: the words, the heading, the title. This is about the whole site: whether Google can reach it, read it and load it fast enough to bother. A perfectly written page still won't rank if the site underneath it is broken.
Sometimes — if the drop was caused by something technical, like a setting that accidentally told Google to ignore a page. But this work clears the road, it doesn't drive the car. If your pages are thin, fixing the technical side just gives Google a clean run to nothing much.
Usually, yes. It tells you what's actually stopping the site before you spend money on pages or links, so you're not building on cracks. It's the first thing we do on every job.
The fixes usually go live in the first month. Google then needs time to re-read the pages, so most sites see it show up in rankings from around month two.
