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render-blocking scripts, missing or incorrect schema markup, broken internal links, redirect chains, and a missing or outdated XML sitemap are the ones we see most often on Cork business sites.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.
What You Get With Technical SEO
A prioritised fix list, not a 90-page export
Every issue is ranked by its likely effect on rankings and enquiries, so the important fixes happen first.
Fixes implemented, not just reported
Speed, structured data, redirects, broken links and mobile issues are fixed on your site, or handed to your developer with exact instructions.
Before-and-after evidence
We re-crawl and re-test Core Web Vitals after the work, so you can see exactly what changed.

Our price for this service is shown at the top of this page. The final figure depends on the size of your site, how competitive your area is, and how many locations you serve.

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.
How much does technical SEO cost in Cork?
A technical SEO project with SEO Star Agency costs €450–€1,600 as a one-off, depending on the size of the site and how much needs fixing. If you only want a diagnosis, a one-off SEO audit is €300–€500. Either way, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How long does a technical SEO project take?
Most technical SEO projects take two to three weeks, depending on the size of the site and how much needs fixing. You get a fixed quote and timeline before any work starts, and Google then recrawls the fixed pages so the improvements show up in Search Console.
Do you need access to my website?
Yes, for the fixes. We need an admin or editor login for WordPress (or your platform), plus Google Search Console access. If a developer manages your site, we can send them a clear fix list instead and check the work once it is done.
