Technical SEO · Small business
Technical SEO is the groundwork under everything else: speed, indexing, structured data and a WordPress setup that does not break. It is part of Tech Partner at $299 a month, on your own hosting account.
The short answer
Technical SEO is the work that lets Google find, load and understand your pages before content or reviews can make a difference. Muon checks four areas every month: page speed and Core Web Vitals, crawling and indexing, structured data and sitemaps, and the WordPress plugins and hosting underneath. It is included in Tech Partner at $299 a month, and your site stays on your own hosting account.
When a page is slow or missing from Google, we find the cause, such as a heavy plugin, an oversized image or a stray noindex tag, and fix that, not the symptom.
Problems come back after updates and new pages, so the checks run on the plan, not just once at the start.
Every fix can be seen in your own Google Search Console reports, so you do not have to take our word for it.
What Google measures
Google measures how a page feels to a real visitor with three Core Web Vitals. These are the targets from Google’s Core Web Vitals documentation.
| Metric | What it measures | Good score |
|---|---|---|
| Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) | How long the main content takes to appear | Within 2.5 seconds |
| Interaction to Next Paint (INP) | How quickly the page responds to a tap or click | Under 200 milliseconds |
| Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) | How much the layout jumps around while it loads | Below 0.1 |
If you already know your site is slow, the guide to why a WordPress site is slow walks through the usual causes.
What you get
| Area | What we do | What happens if it is ignored |
|---|---|---|
| Speed and Core Web Vitals | Measure the scores Google reports, find the cause and fix it | Pages load slowly and visitors leave before they read anything |
| Crawling and indexing | Clear broken redirects, stray noindex tags, orphaned pages and sitemap errors | Good pages sit outside Google's index and never get a chance to show |
| Structured data and sitemaps | Keep schema markup and the XML sitemap accurate as pages change | Search engines and AI assistants guess what a page is about, often wrongly |
| Plugins and hosting | Weekly plugin updates, conflicts traced and fixed, hosting checked on your own account | One bad update or a slow server takes pages down at the worst moment |
| Keywords and content | Not part of technical SEO. That is the content engine | A fast site with nothing worth finding |
Content is its own service: see the content engine. For the maintenance side of WordPress, see managed WordPress care.

We check speed, indexing, structured data and plugins against your live site, connect Search Console and fix the problems that block pages first.
02
The slower pages get attention: images, plugins and theme weight, followed by schema and sitemap clean-up.
03
Weekly plugin updates, monthly checks and a performance report in your inbox. New problems are caught as they appear.
How quickly fixes show in Google depends on how often it recrawls your pages. You can watch each one land in Search Console.

Fixes show up in your own Search Console, and you get a report every month.
Questions
Four areas: page speed and Core Web Vitals, crawling and indexing, structured data and sitemaps, and the WordPress plugins and hosting underneath them. Keyword research and content are a separate service.
Technical SEO makes sure Google can load, crawl and understand your pages. Local SEO decides which searches those pages and your Google Business Profile show up for in your area. You need both.
It depends on how often Google recrawls your pages. Each fix shows in Search Console once Google reprocesses the page. We do not quote a ranking timeline.
No. Your site stays on your own hosting account. If your host is the reason the site is slow, we will tell you, and we recommend SiteGround.
