SEO-Ready Website Development
Sites built with clean structure so search engines can find and understand them.
What's included
- Yoast SEO setup and on-page basics
- Fast loading and good Core Web Vitals
- Proper headings, meta tags and schema
SEO starts in the code
Good content can't rank on a site that search engines struggle to read. I build the technical foundations in from day one: one clear H1 per page, a sensible heading structure, correct canonical tags, meta titles and descriptions, clean URLs and an XML sitemap.
Schema markup and rich results
I add structured data (JSON-LD) such as Organization or Person, Service, Article, FAQ and Breadcrumb markup, so Google and AI search tools understand who you are, what you offer and how your pages connect.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Page speed is a ranking signal and a conversion factor. I optimize images, fonts, scripts and caching so your pages pass Core Web Vitals, and I verify the results with real tests rather than guessing.
How it works
Technical audit
I check crawling, indexing, canonicals, headings, speed and schema.
Fix the foundations
Errors that stop pages ranking get fixed first.
Add structure and schema
Titles, descriptions, internal links and JSON-LD are set up on every key page.
Measure
We use Google Search Console to watch indexing, impressions and clicks.

Frequently asked questions
Do you write the content or do keyword research?
My focus is the technical and on-page side: structure, speed, schema and setup. I can recommend keywords and page structure, and I work well with your writer or SEO consultant.
Can you guarantee a number one ranking?
No honest developer can. What I can do is remove technical problems and build a site that search engines can crawl and understand, so your content has the best chance.
How long does it take to see results?
Technical fixes are picked up within days or weeks, but rankings usually take a few months to move. I set up Search Console so you can see progress.
