Technical SEO—for a lean mean search engine optimization machine

Technical Search Engine Optimization focuses on fixing your website issues; it involves optimizing web servers, code, and content so that your website will rank better in search results.

Technical SEO provides the long term technical investment to grow your website and secure your ranking and foothold in the eyes of your customers and search engines (Google, Bing, Baidu, DuckDuckGo, etc).

For example at Spacetime, when someone searches on Google for "web design agency in dallas" we want our website to show up as close to the top as possible because the top slots on the search results page are more likely to be clicked.

Now, there are many factors at play to determine search result rankings—content, domain authority, user experience, site speed, engagement, etc—and all play a valuable part in the health and perceived value of a website.

Technical SEO optimizes everything that computers (aka robots, aka search engines) understand and find value in. That includes indicators like keywords in the text (so the robots know what a page or article is about) to speed and usability of a mobile friendly website.

As an added benefit when optimizing for robots, human users receive a better experience as well.

Take site load speed for example…

Both robots and humans like fast websites, so if your website is optimized for performance and changes from a 6-second load time to less than 2 seconds—well, you just made the robots and humans happier.

Search engine robots will compare your 2-second website load speed to your competitor’s website with a 5-second load speed when determining which to show a customer.

Which do you think the search engine considers "better" based solely on website load speed?

What to expect from Technical SEO

SEO of any kind is a long term investment and one that only grows in power over time when maintained well.

Technical SEO focuses on presenting your website and content in the best possible form for search engines (like Google) and customers. Basically, SEO makes the job of the search engine robots easier and better understand your website.

SEO is not a magic bullet

There’s not an SEO button to flip on. SEO will not magically make your business explode or multiply your web traffic. SEO will not guarantee your website appears on the first page of Google.

But if you produce good content and provide a good product/service, over time SEO will act as a force multiplier in your favor.
