Technical SEO in Durham
Fixing the reasons a Durham business's site cannot rank regardless of how good its content is — pages search engines never reach, duplicate URLs splitting signals, slow rendering, or a staging site accidentally indexed alongside the real one and competing with it for the same terms.
Why this comes up
The problem
Content and links get invested in while the site quietly blocks crawling, serves the same page at four URLs, or renders nothing without JavaScript. The foundation undoes the work above it.
What you get
What we deliver
- Crawl of the whole site, finding what search engines can and cannot reach
- Indexation reviewed — what is indexed that should not be, and what is missing
- Duplicate URLs resolved with canonicals and consistent internal linking
- Core Web Vitals measured on real user data rather than a lab score
- JavaScript rendering checked, since content only in the client is often not indexed
- Redirects, status codes and sitemaps corrected, with a prioritised fix list

Working in Durham

Durham's economy is dominated by its university and cathedral, so the commercial base is small and much of the local demand comes from spinouts and suppliers attached to the institutions rather than from independent industry.

Technical SEO in Durham — common questions
- How do we know if we have a technical problem?
- Common signs are pages that never appear in search however well written, traffic dropping after a redesign, or Search Console reporting far fewer indexed pages than you have. An audit answers it definitively and is cheap relative to what it can reveal.
- Does site speed actually affect rankings?
- It is a ranking factor and a modest one — a fast site does not outrank a better answer. Its real effect is on conversion, where the difference is far larger than the ranking benefit.
- Our site is built in React. Is that a problem?
- It can be. Search engines render JavaScript but slowly and imperfectly, so client-only content is often indexed late or not at all. Server rendering or static generation resolves it, and that is an architecture decision rather than a setting.
- What is the most common serious issue you find?
- Accidental blocking — a robots directive or noindex tag left over from staging that quietly removes whole sections from search. It is trivial to fix and often has been costing traffic for months.
- Do you work with businesses across County Durham?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout North East, including Durham and the surrounding County Durham area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Durham businesses do you usually work with?
- Research spinout software and visitor systems, usually on institutional procurement timelines rather than commercial ones. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Tourism & Heritage, Public Sector, Retail and Research.
- Do you cover the areas around Durham?
- Yes — we work throughout North East, including Newcastle, Sunderland, York. Durham is an urban area of roughly 70,000+, and we take on work across the wider County Durham region rather than the city boundary alone.
