Technical SEO — Crawl, Index, Speed, and Site Health

Engineering-grade SEO audits and remediation — crawl budget, indexation, performance, structured data, and international setup.

Based in Levent, Istanbul. Serving Türkiye, Europe, the Middle East, and global teams.

Direct answer

What is Technical SEO?

Technical SEO is the practice of making websites technically sound for search engines and users: reliable crawling, correct indexation, fast rendering, clean architecture, valid structured data, and secure HTTPS delivery. Without it, content and links underperform because pages are blocked, duplicated, slow, or poorly canonicalized.

AKOD technical SEO serves marketing sites, SaaS apps with public pages, e-commerce templates, and multilingual properties. We work with your developers — documenting issues with severity, reproduction steps, and acceptance criteria. Audits cover robots.txt, sitemaps, status codes, redirect chains, canonical tags, hreflang when complete bilingual pages exist, JavaScript rendering, log analysis where available, and Core Web Vitals on key templates.

Service Overview

Detailed overview

Content teams often publish while technical debt accumulates: staging leaks into index, parameters create infinite URLs, or a redesign drops schema and redirects. AKOD technical SEO engagements start with measurable baselines — indexed pages, error rates, speed percentiles — then prioritize fixes by revenue impact.

Common workstreams include consolidating duplicate clusters, fixing pagination and faceted navigation, improving LCP on hero templates, implementing JSON-LD consistently, and aligning staging vs production rules. For Astro, React, WordPress, or hybrid stacks, we specify what must be server-rendered vs hydrated and how prerendering affects crawl.

International sites receive hreflang only when language pairs are complete and indexable — AKOD does not emit alternates to drafts. Security headers, mixed content, and broken assets are flagged because they affect trust and speed. After remediation, monitoring catches regressions when marketing ships new templates.

Technical SEO pairs with SEO consulting for strategy, GEO for entity clarity, and web design when templates need structural change — not only meta tweaks.

Log file analysis may be used on larger sites to see crawl waste on low-value URLs. AKOD coordinates release checklists with dev teams: SEO regression tests before deploy, especially for template changes affecting thousands of URLs.

Staging environments are validated for noindex and disallow rules so pre-production content never leaks into index.

Ongoing retainers include monthly crawl diff reports after deploys — catching new errors before Search Console lags.

AKOD engagements include clear communication rhythms, written assumptions, and escalation paths so Turkish headquarters and international stakeholders stay aligned. Success metrics are agreed before execution so progress is judged on outcomes, not activity volume alone.

Why it matters

Why this service matters

You cannot rank pages Google cannot crawl or users abandon because of slow LCP. Technical SEO protects investment in content, ads, and brand. For high-stakes launches — replatforming, mergers, marketplace expansion — technical mistakes cause traffic cliffs that take months to recover.

Development teams appreciate AKOD’s engineering-aware reports: fewer vague “fix SEO” tickets, more actionable tasks with URLs and expected outcomes.

Technical SEO is insurance for everything else you invest in marketing. A single bad migration can erase years of content work — prevention is cheaper than recovery.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

How is technical SEO different from SEO consulting?

Technical SEO focuses on crawl, index, speed, and site mechanics. Consulting adds content architecture and growth strategy. AKOD often combines them.

Do you need server access?

Helpful but not always required. Crawl tools, Search Console, and staging access often suffice initially.

Can you audit JavaScript SPAs?

Yes. We test rendered HTML vs raw responses and recommend SSR/prerender where needed.

How fast can technical fixes show results?

Indexation and speed fixes can show within weeks. Ranking shifts depend on competition and content quality.

Do you implement fixes or only audit?

Both are possible. Many clients have AKOD audit while internal devs ship; AKOD can implement on Astro/TS stacks directly.

Will you add hreflang for incomplete translations?

No. Hreflang is only for complete, indexable language pairs to avoid crawl traps.

Does technical SEO include security scanning?

We flag SEO-relevant issues (HTTPS, mixed content). Full security audits are out of scope unless separately agreed.
