That Fix What’s Stopping Google From Ranking Your Site
I’m Basanta Khaniya, an SEO Consultant in Kathmandu. I audit and fix the technical issues that stop Google from crawling, indexing, and ranking your pages, so your site performs the way it should.
Technical SEO is the process of optimizing your website’s infrastructure so search engines can crawl, understand, and index it without friction. No amount of great content will rank if Google can’t properly access your site.

What I fix
8 Technical SEO Areas That Affect Your Rankings
Each one sends clearer signals to Google and prevents visibility issues that silently cost you rankings every day.
⚡
✦ Core ranking factor
Site Speed & Core Web Vitals
Slow pages lose rankings and visitors. I identify what’s slowing your site down and fix it, images, server response, scripts, and render-blocking resources.
🕷️
✦ Google must find your pages
Crawlability & Indexing
If Google can’t crawl or index your pages, they won’t rank. I audit your robots.txt, crawl budget, and indexing status and fix anything blocking visibility.
🗺️
✦ Helps Google discover content
XML Sitemap
A correctly structured sitemap tells Google which pages exist and which matter most. I create, optimize, and submit your sitemap to Search Console.
📱
✦ Google indexes mobile first
Mobile Usability
Google uses mobile-first indexing. I check your site renders correctly on all screen sizes and fix any mobile usability issues flagged in Search Console.
🔒
✦ Trust signal for Google
HTTPS & Security
HTTPS is a confirmed ranking signal. I verify your SSL is installed correctly, check for mixed content warnings, and ensure your site is fully secure.
🔗
✦ Wastes crawl budget
Broken Links & Redirects
Broken links and redirect chains confuse Google and waste crawl budget. I find and fix all 404 errors, redirect loops, and unnecessary redirect chains.
📋
✦ Prevents duplicate ranking
Duplicate Content & Canonicals
Duplicate content splits ranking signals across multiple pages. I identify duplicates and implement canonical tags to consolidate authority to the right URL.
🏷️
✦ Enhances search appearance
Schema & Structured Data
Schema markup helps Google understand your content and can unlock rich results, star ratings, FAQs, breadcrumbs, that increase click-through rates.
Google can't crawl key pages due to robots.txt errors

Broken links across the site wasting crawl budget

My process
How I Do Technical SEO
01
Full Technical Audit
I crawl your entire site using Screaming Frog and audit GSC data to uncover every technical issue — from crawl errors to speed problems to missing schema.
02
Prioritize by Impact
Not all issues matter equally. I sort findings by severity and ranking impact — so the most critical fixes happen first and you see results faster.
03
Fix & Implement
I fix crawl errors, optimize speed, configure sitemaps, clean up redirects, add schema, and resolve all mobile and indexing issues — or guide your developer to do so.
04
Verify in Search Console
After fixes are live, I verify corrections in Google Search Console and re-crawl the site to confirm every issue has been properly resolved.
05
Monitor & Report
Technical SEO is ongoing. I monitor your site for new issues, track Core Web Vitals, and report on improvements in crawl coverage and indexing over time.
How do I know if my site has technical SEO issues?
Common signs include: slow page loading, pages not appearing in Google, Google Search Console showing crawl errors, or rankings dropping after an algorithm update. A technical audit will surface all issues, I offer a free initial audit for every new client.
How long does it takes to fix technical SEO issues?
Simple fixes like broken links, missing sitemaps, and meta tag issues can be resolved within days. More complex issues like Core Web Vitals optimization or site architecture changes take 2–6 weeks depending on the site’s size and your developer’s availability.
Do i need a developer for technical SEO?
Some fixes require developer access, like editing server configurations or page code. Others can be done directly in WordPress or your CMS. I clearly separate what you can fix yourself and what needs a developer, and I provide detailed instructions for both.
Is technical SEO a one-time job?
The initial fix is a project, but technical SEO requires ongoing monitoring. New content, plugins, site updates, and Google algorithm changes can introduce new issues. I recommend a quarterly technical review as part of any ongoing SEO engagement.
