Crawl and index control
Robots rules, noindex, canonicals and sitemaps set so Google spends its crawl on pages that earn money.
Technical SEO
Content cannot rank on a site Google cannot read.
Technical SEO is everything under the surface: whether Google can crawl every page, which version it indexes, how fast the page loads on a phone and whether the structure tells the search engine what matters. aStash audits all of it and, because we build websites, we fix it ourselves.

The short version01
Most ranking problems we inherit are technical, and most were invisible to the last agency.
A site can have good content, good links and still stall because of a redirect chain, a canonical pointing to the wrong URL, thousands of thin parameter pages eating crawl budget, or a mobile layout that shifts while loading. Content agencies rarely find these. Tools list them without saying which ones matter.
aStash runs a full crawl, compares it with Search Console and server logs where available, and ranks every issue by its effect on rankings and leads. Then our developers fix them, in WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify or custom code, without waiting on a third party.
Sewer Experts went from a brand-new site to 845 ranking keywords and $2M a year in revenue on organic search. The content did the ranking. The technical foundation made the content rankable.
The problem
The issues that stall rankings rarely show on the page.
A site can look fine to a visitor and still send Google in circles: redirect chains, canonicals pointing at the wrong version, parameter URLs multiplying into thousands of thin pages, scripts that block rendering on mobile. The last agency never saw them because they never crawled the site.
aStash crawls every URL, compares it with what Search Console reports and, where available, what the server logs show Googlebot doing. Every issue is ranked by its effect on rankings and leads.

The technical audit
Fourteen checks on every site, every quarter
- Crawlability: robots.txt, blocked resources, crawl errors and orphan pages
- Indexing: pages indexed versus pages that should be, and why they differ
- Canonicals, duplicate content and parameter handling
- Redirects: chains, loops, 302s that should be 301s, lost link equity
- XML sitemaps: accuracy, freshness and what is missing
- Site architecture and click depth to money pages
- Internal linking and anchor text distribution
- Core Web Vitals: LCP, CLS and INP on mobile and desktop
- Mobile rendering, viewport and tap targets
- Structured data: validity, coverage and rich result eligibility
- HTTPS, mixed content and security headers
- Hreflang and international targeting where relevant
- JavaScript rendering and content visible to Googlebot
- Server response, hosting and CDN configuration
What we fix
The six areas that move rankings most
Redirect and URL clean-up
Chains collapsed, broken links repaired, legacy URLs mapped one to one so no link equity leaks.
Core Web Vitals
Image, font, script and server optimization that moves LCP, CLS and INP into the green on real devices.
Structured data
Organization, LocalBusiness, Service, Product, FAQ and Breadcrumb schema written by hand and validated.
Site architecture
Categories, hubs and internal links reorganized so important pages sit within three clicks of the homepage.
Platform hardening
Plugin bloat, outdated themes, insecure forms and hosting limits resolved before they become ranking or security problems.

What you get
Fixed by developers, not handed back as a list.
Most audits end with a PDF the owner cannot act on. Ours end with the fixes shipped: redirects, canonicals, schema, Core Web Vitals, crawl rules and mobile layout corrected in WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify or custom code by our own developers.
Then we monitor Search Console weekly so new problems are caught before they cost rankings.

What is included in the free technical audit?
A crawl of up to 500 URLs, a Search Console review if you grant access, Core Web Vitals data and a prioritized list of issues with what each one is costing you.
Do you fix the issues or just report them?
We fix them. aStash builds and maintains websites, so technical SEO work is done by our own developers on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom sites.
Will technical fixes alone improve my rankings?
Often, yes, when crawl or index problems have been holding good content back. In other cases they remove the ceiling so content and links can work. The audit tells you which situation you are in.
How long do fixes take?
Most priority fixes are complete within the first month. Large sites with thousands of URLs or a platform migration take longer and are scheduled in phases.
Can you work on a site you did not build?
Yes. Most technical SEO clients come to us with a site built elsewhere. We work on a copy first and release changes with a rollback plan.
How is technical SEO priced?
Audits and fix sprints are a flat project fee. Ongoing monitoring is included in aStash SEO and maintenance plans.
