Technical SEO services in Singapore
Your pages aren’t showing up on Google?
We fix what the audit finds, then show you the pages Google now indexes.
Part of every SEO plan from $600 a month · SME500 2023
You paid for content and links, and nothing ranks
When that happens, the problem is often underneath the pages. These are the three we see most.
Google can’t find or index the pages
A stray noindex tag, a blocked folder in robots.txt or a missing sitemap, and your best pages never make it into Google.
Traffic dropped after a redesign
Old URLs went to a 404 page instead of redirecting, and the rankings they’d built up went with them.
The site is slow on a phone
Heavy images and scripts make pages crawl on mobile. People leave, and Google notices.
Search it yourself: the pages we rank for our own site
This is where our own pages sat on Google Singapore on 28 October 2026. We do the technical work on our site that we’d do on yours.
“digital marketing agency”
#1 on Google Singapore: digitalmarketingagency.sg. Search it yourself.
“local seo singapore”
#1 on Google Singapore: digitalmarketingagency.sg/local-seo. Search it yourself.
Across the site we rank for 589 Singapore keywords, 222 of them in the top 10 (DataForSEO, September 2026). That’s a track record you can check in the search engine results yourself.
What is technical SEO?
Technical SEO is the work that lets Google find, crawl, render and index your pages, and load them fast for the people who click. It covers your site’s speed, structure, code and settings. The words on the page are a separate job.
Google lists three basic requirements for a page to be eligible for Search: Googlebot isn’t blocked, the page works, and it has indexable content. Then it adds: "Just because a page meets these requirements doesn’t mean that a page will be indexed; indexing isn’t guaranteed." Technical SEO is the work between those two sentences: getting the right pages indexed and the wrong ones kept out.
If on-page SEO is what your pages say, technical SEO is whether Google can read them at all. Content and links can’t help a page Google never indexes.
What we check and fix
The full list, so you can compare it with any other quote.
- Crawling and indexing: robots.txt, XML sitemaps, noindex tags and Search Console coverage errors
- Core Web Vitals and page speed, on mobile first
- Site structure and internal linking, so your main pages get the most links
- Duplicate content and canonical tags
- Redirects, broken links, 404s and other status code errors
- HTTPS and mixed-content problems
- Schema markup (structured data) for rich results and AI answers
- Mobile usability, so the site is user friendly on a phone, since Google indexes the mobile version first
- JavaScript rendering, for sites and single-page apps built on frameworks
- Hreflang for sites with more than one language or country
- Redirect mapping before a redesign or migration
Audit, fix, then check it held
Crawl and audit
We crawl the whole site and read your Search Console data to find every crawl, speed, structure and indexing problem.
Prioritise
We rank the problems by how much each one costs you and how hard it is to fix, so the biggest wins go first.
Fix
We make the changes ourselves, or brief your developer.
Validate
We check every fix in Search Console and testing tools, so nothing breaks again.
Monitor
We keep watching crawl health, Core Web Vitals and rankings, and catch new problems early.
We fix it ourselves, or hand your developer a clear spec
Some clients want us to make every change. Others have an in-house developer or an agency that built the site. Either works. We can fix issues directly, or write a plain spec for each one, what’s wrong, where, and what done looks like, then test the change once your developer ships it.
We work on WordPress, WooCommerce, Shopify and custom builds.
Redesigning or moving your site? Keep your rankings.
A redesign is where most sudden traffic drops start. URLs change, old pages vanish, and nobody tells Google where they went.
Before launch, we map every old URL to its new home and set up the redirects. After launch, we check that Google has picked up the new pages and watch for drops. If you’re building a new site with us, the SEO Setup Upgrade puts the technical basics in place at launch for a one-off $300.
How soon will the fixes show up on Google?
It depends on the fix and how often Google crawls your site.
Within weeks
Fixes like restoring indexing or removing a block can show as soon as Google crawls the pages again.
Over one to three months
Speed, structure and internal links feed through as Google re-crawls the site.
Months 3 to 6
With the foundations fixed, your content and links start to count, and the rankings follow.
See which pages Google can and can’t read
Each month you get a short report: how many of your pages Google has indexed, which ones it can’t, your Core Web Vitals, crawl errors found and fixed, and your rankings. A specialist walks you through it and tells you what’s next.
You keep full access to your Search Console, analytics and website. Nothing is held in our name.
What we guarantee, and what nobody can
Technical SEO comes inside our SEO plans, and Silver and Gold carry one guarantee: within six months, 10% of your target keywords on page one, or 20% more organic traffic. Gold raises it to 15% or 25%, and if we miss it, you get three months free.
No technical fix can promise a ranking on its own, and nobody can promise that Google will index a page. What we can show you is the list of problems found, the fixes made, and what changed afterwards.
How much does technical SEO cost in Singapore?
Technical SEO is part of every SEO plan we run, from $600 to $2,200 a month on a 12-month plan, or from $857 month to month. Building a new site? The SEO Setup Upgrade is a one-off $300. Need a one-off fix project on an existing site? We quote it after the free audit, once we know what’s broken.
Technical, on-page and off-page SEO: the three types
Most SEO work falls into one of these. Each one depends on the others.
| Technical SEO | On-page SEO | Off-page SEO | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it covers | Speed, crawling, indexing, structure and code | Content, titles, headings and internal links | Links and mentions from other sites |
| The question it answers | Can Google find and read the page? | Does the page answer the search? | Do other sites trust you? |
| Who usually does it | An SEO specialist with a developer | An SEO specialist and a writer | An outreach or digital PR team |
| Typical sign of trouble | Pages missing from Google | Pages indexed but ranking low | Good pages stuck behind stronger sites |
More on on-page SEO and off-page SEO.
Core Web Vitals: what Google measures
| Metric | What it measures | Google’s target for a good experience |
|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) | How fast the main content loads | Within 2.5 seconds |
| Interaction to Next Paint (INP) | How fast the page responds to a tap or click | Under 200 milliseconds |
| Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) | How much the page jumps around while loading | Under 0.1 |
Google says: "We highly recommend site owners achieve good Core Web Vitals for success with Search and to ensure a great user experience generally."

Signs your site needs technical SEO
- Pages you’ve published don’t show up when you search for them on Google
- Search Console shows pages as "crawled, currently not indexed" or "excluded"
- Organic traffic dropped suddenly, especially after a redesign, migration or platform change
- Your site takes more than a few seconds to load on a phone
- The same content lives at several URLs
- You’ve added content and links for months and rankings haven’t moved
- Your site is built with a JavaScript framework and some content doesn’t appear when you test the URL in Search Console
Why technical SEO matters for Singapore businesses
Most people in Singapore search on their phones, and Google indexes the mobile version of your site first. A page that’s slow or broken on mobile starts behind, however good the content is.
Technical problems also hide well. A site can look fine to you and your customers while Google is stuck on a redirect loop or ignoring half your pages. That’s why a technical audit is the first thing we do on every SEO plan: it finds the problems that waste the money you spend on content and links.
And the work carries over to AI search. ChatGPT, Gemini and Google’s AI Overviews can only quote pages they can crawl and understand, so clean structure and structured data help there too. How AI search works for your business.
Technical SEO is the first step in your SEO strategy
Search engine optimisation needs a technical foundation before anything else. Keyword research tells you which searches to win, content answers them, and link building earns quality backlinks. None of it lifts your search rankings if Google can’t crawl the pages, or if site speed and mobile responsiveness push visitors away before they read a word.
So every SEO plan we run starts with technical SEO audits and keeps checking technical health every month. Fixing technical issues early is usually the cheapest route to higher rankings and a first page position, because it lets the content and links you already paid for start to count.
Want to check your own speed first? Run a page through Google’s free PageSpeed Insights. If the mobile score is poor, that’s usually the first fix.

Common technical SEO mistakes
- Leaving a "discourage search engines" setting or noindex tag on after launch
- Launching a redesign without redirects from the old URLs
- Blocking CSS or JavaScript files in robots.txt
- Uploading huge images straight from a camera
- Letting filters and tracking parameters create thousands of duplicate URLs
- Adding schema that doesn’t match what’s on the page
- Fixing everything an SEO tool flags, in the order it lists them, instead of what matters most
How to choose a technical SEO agency in Singapore
- Ask whether they fix issues, or only send an audit report.
- Ask how they prioritise. A list of 400 warnings isn’t a plan.
- Ask how they’ll work with your developer, and who tests the fixes.
- Ask what they do before a redesign or migration.
- Ask to see a sample report you can understand.
- Walk away from anyone who promises a ranking from technical fixes alone.
