Technical SEO and Link Building in Leeds
A fast, clean site that search engines can read, and links that carry weight.
Technical SEO in Leeds fixes the problems that stop good pages ranking: slow loading, crawl errors, duplicate pages and messy migrations. We pair it with link building from relevant UK sites, so a healthy site also earns authority.
Our technical audit checklist
The main areas every technical audit covers.
Crawling
Robots rules, sitemaps and internal links that let search engines reach every important page.
Indexing
Which pages are indexed, which should not be, and why some are left out.
Duplicates
Canonical tags, parameters and near-identical pages that split your rankings.
Speed
Core Web Vitals, image weight, scripts and hosting response times.
Structured data
Schema for your business, services, reviews and articles.
Mobile
Layouts, tap targets and content parity between phone and desktop.
Migrations and replatforming
A new website is one of the riskiest moments for search. Changed addresses without redirects, missing pages and lost internal links can remove years of rankings in a few days. We see it often: a firm launches a better looking site and calls a month later because enquiries have stopped.
We plan migrations before launch. That means a full map of old and new addresses, redirect rules, a check of the staging site, and monitoring for the weeks after go-live so anything missed is caught early.
Migrations are also a good moment to plan for the future. Our AI SEO work starts with the same clean structure, so it is worth building in from day one.
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Google measures how fast and stable your pages feel to real visitors. These are the three numbers we work on.
Target time for the main content of a page to appear on a phone.
Target response time when someone taps or clicks.
Target score for how little the page jumps while loading.
Link building in Leeds
Links from other websites still matter. A page with useful content and a few strong, relevant links will usually beat a similar page with none. The key words are useful and relevant: bought links and link networks can bring penalties that take months to undo.
Our link building in Leeds focuses on sources that make sense for your business: Yorkshire and trade press, industry bodies, supplier and partner pages, local business groups and genuine resources that others want to cite.
Every link we build is listed in your monthly report with where it sits and why it was chosen.
- Yorkshire and trade press
- Industry bodies and associations
- Suppliers and partners
- Local business groups and events
- Guides and data others want to cite

Technical SEO questions
Straight answers from our team. Anything else, email [email protected] and we reply within one working day.
Asked by Leeds firmsDo you make the technical changes yourselves?
On most platforms, yes, with your permission. Where a developer is needed, we write clear tickets and check the result.
Asked by Leeds firmsWhich platforms do you work with?
WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, Wix, Squarespace and custom builds. The principles are the same; the fixes differ.
Asked by Leeds firmsCan you help with a migration that already went wrong?
Yes. We compare old and new addresses, add missing redirects and track recovery.
Asked by Leeds firmsDo you buy links?
No. Every link comes from outreach to sites that are relevant to your business.
Asked by Leeds firmsHow many links will I get?
The National plan includes two quality links a month. Other plans focus on listings and citations.
Asked by Leeds firmsWill speed work change my design?
Rarely. Most gains come from images, scripts and hosting rather than visible changes.
