Why This Happens
Technical problems build up over time: unoptimized images, render-blocking scripts, missing or incorrect schema markup, broken internal links, redirect chains, and a missing or outdated XML sitemap are the ones we see most often on Cork business sites.
How Our Technical SEO Process Works
- A full technical crawl (using tools including Screaming Frog and Google Search Console) to surface every crawlability and indexation issue.
- Core Web Vitals and page-speed fixes: image compression, script loading order, font strategy.
- Structured data implementation: LocalBusiness, Service, FAQPage and BreadcrumbList schema, validated against what’s actually visible on the page.
- Redirect and broken-link cleanup, so link equity isn’t lost to dead ends or chains.
- Mobile usability fixes and an ongoing indexation-monitoring cadence.

Technical SEO FAQ
How do I know if my site has a technical SEO problem?
Common signs include stalled rankings despite good content, slow load times (especially on mobile), and pages missing from Google’s index. A technical audit will confirm exactly what’s holding your site back.
Is structured data required to appear in Google’s AI Overviews?
No — Google’s own guidance states structured data isn’t required for AI Overviews, and it isn’t a shortcut to AI citation on its own. We implement schema because it’s good technical hygiene and supports rich results, not as a guaranteed AI-visibility trick. See our AI SEO & GEO page for the full picture.
