Technical SEO is the part of search that has nothing to do with your words and everything to do with your code: schema and structured data, crawlability, internal structure, canonical tags and Core Web Vitals. Most independent business websites have real gaps here, invisible to a normal visitor but obvious to a search engine. Stagg Studios provides technical SEO services for UK businesses as a done-for-you monthly plan: we fix the technical foundations on your existing site and re-check them every month, for a flat £100 a month or £1,000 a year, with no lock-in.
Most business owners have never seen the technical side of their own website. You see the words, the photos and the layout. Google and AI systems see something else entirely: markup, headings, links, response codes and structured data. A site can look finished to you and still be full of gaps a search engine trips over, and the owner usually has no way of knowing until rankings quietly stall.
Technical SEO services exist to close that gap. It is unglamorous, deliberately so, and it is the foundation everything else in search sits on.
What technical SEO actually covers
Technical SEO is everything that decides whether a search engine, or increasingly an AI crawler, can find, read and trust your pages at all. Good writing and strong content cannot fix a technical problem, because the engine may never get far enough to read the words. We group the work into four areas.
Schema and structured data
Schema.org markup labels your pages in a language machines understand directly: what type of business you are, what you offer, where you are based and how you can be contacted. Most UK small business websites have little or none of it. It is one of the highest-impact technical fixes we make, and it is the foundation of clear communication with both Google and AI.
Crawlability and indexation
If a search engine cannot crawl a page, nothing else about it matters. We check that your important pages are actually being crawled and indexed, that robots rules are not accidentally blocking anything, that redirects and canonical tags point where they should, and that your XML sitemap tells the truth about your site.
Site structure and internal linking
How your pages connect to each other affects both how search engines understand your priorities and how easily a visitor or a crawler can move through your site. Clean navigation, sensible URL structure and internal links that pass weight to the pages that matter are basic, and frequently missing.
Core Web Vitals and page speed
Google measures how fast your pages load, how quickly they respond to interaction and how stable they are while loading, grouped under Core Web Vitals. Slow, unstable pages are worse for visitors and can hold back your visibility. We check these metrics and fix what is realistically within reach on your platform, being upfront where a limit comes from your hosting or theme rather than anything we can change.
Why this now includes AI, not just Google
The same technical foundations that decide whether Google can rank you also decide whether AI systems such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity can read and cite you. Some platforms and content delivery networks block AI crawlers such as GPTBot and ClaudeBot by default, so a technically sound site for Google can still be invisible to AI. We check crawler access and add an llms.txt file where useful, as one part of a technical service, not a separate add-on.
How the done-for-you monthly plan works
You give us access to your existing website. We start with a technical health check across schema, crawlability, structure and speed, fix what we find, and from the second month keep re-checking every month, because plugins update, pages get added and platforms change their defaults, so technical health is not a one-off job. You get one short, plain-English report of what changed each month. Nothing for you to learn or maintain yourself.
Honest limitations
We will never promise that fixing your technical SEO guarantees a ranking. It removes the reasons a technically sound competitor beats you for reasons that have nothing to do with your business, but relevance, competition and demand still decide the outcome, and no agency controls those. Some fixes also take time to show results, because search engines revisit pages and refresh indexes on their own schedule. What we can promise is that the technical foundations of your site will be sound and actively looked after every month.
Simple, honest pricing
One plan for independent UK businesses: £100 a month, or £1,000 a year, which saves two months. No tiers, no setup fee, no long contract, cancel any time. Agencies and multi-site businesses get a bespoke quote instead. See the full details on our pricing page.
Questions people ask
What counts as technical SEO?
Everything that decides whether a search engine can crawl, index and understand your site, separate from the words on the page. That includes schema and structured data, site structure and internal linking, crawlability, XML sitemaps and canonical tags, page speed and Core Web Vitals, and increasingly whether AI crawlers can read you at all. It is the plumbing behind the visible page.
Do you check Core Web Vitals?
Yes. We check loading speed, interactivity and visual stability as part of the technical health check, and fix what is within reach on your existing platform, such as image weight, render-blocking code and server response. Some Core Web Vitals limits are set by your hosting or theme rather than anything we can change, and we will always tell you plainly where that is the case.
Will this work on my website platform?
In almost every case, yes. We work across WordPress, Shopify, Wix, Squarespace and custom-built sites. The method adapts to what each platform allows: some let us edit code and markup directly, others need a plugin or app to reach the same result. Either way, we implement what your platform supports and tell you honestly where its limits are.
How is this different from a one-off SEO audit?
An audit is a snapshot: a list of what is wrong on the day it was run. Technical SEO drifts, plugins update, pages get added, platforms change their defaults, so a one-off fix does not stay fixed. Our monthly plan implements the fixes and then re-checks the whole technical picture every month, so new issues get caught instead of quietly building up again.
How much does the service cost?
One flat price: £100 a month, or £1,000 a year, which saves two months. One plan, no tiers, no setup fee, no long contract, cancel any time. Agencies and multi-site businesses get a bespoke quote instead.
