Technical SEO Implementation

← All website services

An SEO audit is useful when its recommendations make it onto the website. If you have a list of technical fixes but nobody available to implement them, I can help turn that list into working changes.

Web Dev Handyman provides technical SEO implementation for small businesses and marketing agencies. I work on the website itself: templates, redirects, headings, metadata, internal links, and the technical details that help search engines and visitors use your content.

Get the recommendations off the spreadsheet

Maybe an agency has already reviewed your site. Maybe Search Console has flagged an issue, or a migration has left behind broken page addresses. The next step is understanding what needs to change, what depends on it, and how to check the result.

Send the audit, the affected pages, and the outcome you need. We can define a practical scope instead of treating every item in a long report as equally urgent. If the cause is unclear, we can agree on an initial investigation before estimating the full repair.

Technical SEO work I can help implement

  • Titles, descriptions, and headings: implement page-specific metadata and repair template markup that makes content structure confusing.
  • Redirects and broken links: map changed URLs to relevant destinations, fix internal references, and investigate redirect chains.
  • Canonical and indexing controls: check canonical output, robots directives, and unintended noindex settings against the content you want available in search.
  • Sitemaps: check generated sitemap output and align it with the public pages you want discovered.
  • Internal linking: connect related services and supporting articles with useful, descriptive links.
  • Structured data: implement appropriate markup that reflects the actual business and page content.
  • Performance and mobile issues: address relevant image, script, layout, and template problems as part of a defined development scope.

The right changes depend on the site. Adding markup or changing a setting just because a tool mentions it is not a substitute for understanding the problem.

Support for WordPress, Sanity, and agency projects

On WordPress, the work may involve the theme, an SEO plugin, or both. On a Sanity-powered site, it may involve the content model and the separate frontend that produces the pages. We review the setup before deciding where the change belongs.

See WordPress development or Sanity CMS development for platform-specific work. If your agency owns the strategy and client relationship, I can handle implementation within an agreed brief and review process. Learn more about development support for agencies.

A clear process, with checks after the change

  1. Review the request. Identify the affected pages, intended result, priority, and available access.
  2. Agree on the scope. Define the work, estimate, assumptions, and any investigation needed before implementation.
  3. Make and test the changes. Check the relevant output and customer workflows, using staging where the change warrants it.
  4. Hand off the result. Explain what changed, how it was checked, and whether anything needs further attention or monitoring.

Some changes can be verified directly in the live page output. Others need a search engine to recrawl or reprocess the page before reports reflect them. Submitting a sitemap or requesting a crawl does not guarantee indexing, timing, or a particular ranking.

Hourly help without a required retainer

The standard rate is $120/hour USD, billed in 15-minute increments ($30). Investigation, implementation, testing, and deployment are part of the agreed billable scope. Third-party software or hosting costs are separate.

You can bring a single technical issue or a prioritized list. Larger changes and migrations need a defined plan before work starts. Read how estimates and pricing work.

Useful guides for planning the work

If speed is part of the audit, read what to check on a slow WordPress site and see the speed optimization service. Agency teams can use the guide to working with a freelance developer to prepare a clear handoff.

Send your website and the technical SEO work you need implemented. You do not need to translate the audit into code before asking for help.
