Implementation-first service

Fix indexing and crawl issues

If Google is crawling the wrong URLs, ignoring the right ones, or reporting coverage states that do not line up with the site, the cause is usually in robots, canonicals, template signals, sitemap quality, duplicate paths, or internal linking.

Sprint shape

Clear scope before implementation, one controlled sprint, and written verification at the end.

The first pass is meant to move the actual problem, not generate vague theory or generic audits without implementation.

Typical issues

  • Crawled, currently not indexed coverage problems.
  • Wrong canonicals or conflicting template signals.
  • Sitemap pollution and duplicate URL sets.
  • Robots conflicts and noindex mistakes.
  • Faceted, filtered, or duplicate paths.
  • Internal linking paths that weaken discovery.
  • Coverage issues after releases or migrations.

Common root causes I usually find

Most indexing failures are not Google being random. They usually come from conflicting canonicals, stale sitemap signals, faceted or filtered duplicates, noindex or robots conflicts, weak internal discovery paths, or template-level behavior that changed after a release or migration.

The important first step is separating:

  • Pages that should stay indexed.
  • Pages that should stay out.
  • Pages where the signals are mixed enough that Google is making the decision for you.

What I need from you

Send a few affected URLs, a few URLs you believe should be indexed but are healthy, your sitemap URL, the main GSC coverage messages, and what changed before the issue showed up.

Need to prepare context? Use the sprint input checklist.

Best context

  • Launch or migration date if relevant.
  • Recent plugin, template, or CMS changes.
  • Whether the problem is sitewide or concentrated in one page type.

What you get

A focused cleanup of the technical causes, implementation where needed, a clear verification path, and written next steps.

Best fit

Sites with a sharp indexing or crawl failure and enough context to isolate the underlying technical conflict.

Price expectation

The first step should feel like a fixed sprint, not a vague audit.

Most work starts as a fixed first sprint after the issue is reviewed.

  • Small diagnostics usually start around $350.
  • Focused technical SEO, tracking, indexing, or speed sprints commonly land between $650 and $1,500+.
  • Larger implementation or recovery work is scoped separately once the first failure path is clear.
  • If you need a $99 SEO audit, this is not the right fit.
  • If something technical is suppressing indexing, speed, crawl, tracking, or rollout recovery, send the URL, what changed, and the exact symptom.

Start with the issue

Have the symptom and the context?

Send the URL, what changed, and where the break shows up. If the issue is sharp enough, the first reply should turn into a bounded sprint instead of a broad package.
