What is Technical SEO?
It's the behind-the-scenes work that helps Google understand, find, and rank your website. Think of it like this: your website content is what you say, but technical SEO is how you say it to Google.
❌ Without Technical SEO
- ✗Google doesn't know you exist
- ✗You don't show up in "near me" searches
- ✗No rich results (FAQs, ratings, business info)
- ✗Google Business Profile doesn't connect to your site
- ✗Competitors outrank you automatically
✓ With Technical SEO (Our Standard)
- ✓Google knows exactly what your business does
- ✓Show up in local searches and Google Maps
- ✓Rich results with your info directly in search
- ✓Google Business Profile fully integrated
- ✓Compete with bigger businesses on search
The Bottom Line
A beautiful website that nobody can find is just an expensive digital brochure. Technical SEO is what turns your website into a customer-generating machine.

What is Structured Data? (And Why You Need It)
Structured data is special code we add to your website that tells Google exactly what your content means, not just what it says.
Without Structured Data
What Google Sees:
"123 Main Street, Chicago, IL"
"Open Monday - Friday"
"Call us at 555-1234"
Google has to guess that this might be a business address, phone number, and hours. It might get it wrong or miss it completely.
