Performance & Technical SEO

If they can't find you, nothing else matters.

A beautiful website that doesn't rank is a billboard in a closet. I make sure your site loads fast, ranks for the searches your customers actually make, and turns that visibility into revenue.

Jeremy Buff — Technology Strategist

A beautiful site nobody finds is worthless. I make sure your site loads fast and ranks in search, because visibility drives revenue.

Your competitors aren't waiting for you to figure this out.

When someone in Orlando searches "dentist near me" or a Tampa homeowner looks for "AC repair," Google has to decide which businesses to show first. That decision comes down to two things: how well your site is built and how fast it loads. If you're losing on either front, you're handing leads to your competitors.

Most business owners don't realize their site has performance problems until they wonder why the phone stopped ringing. Bloated page builders, unoptimized images, missing meta tags, no structured data, broken internal links. These aren't cosmetic issues. They're revenue leaks.

And if your site was built with an AI website generator or a drag-and-drop tool? The code underneath is almost certainly bloated, the meta tags are generic, and the technical SEO foundation is nonexistent. Those tools get you online fast, but they don't get you found.

What I fix and optimize:

  • Core Web Vitals

    LCP, INP, and CLS. The metrics Google uses to rank your site and measure user experience.

  • Technical SEO

    Crawl errors, indexation gaps, duplicate content, canonical issues, and site architecture.

  • Local Search Optimization

    Google Business Profile, local schema, city-level landing pages, and map pack strategy.

  • Site Speed

    Image optimization, code splitting, lazy loading, caching, CDN setup, and server response times.

  • Structured Data

    JSON-LD markup for rich snippets, FAQ results, service listings, and local business info.

  • Analytics & Tracking

    GA4 setup, conversion tracking, Search Console monitoring, and dashboards that show real ROI.

The Hard Truth

AI can build you a website in a few minutes. It can't make Google care about it.

AI website builders are genuinely impressive. They produce clean-looking sites with decent mobile performance and professional layouts. That's not the problem. The problem is that your competitors have access to the same tools you do.

What AI does well

  • Generates professional-looking layouts quickly
  • Produces passable mobile-responsive designs
  • Writes decent first-draft copy
  • Gets you something online fast

Where AI falls short

  • Generic meta tags with no keyword research behind them
  • No internal linking strategy or topical authority
  • Missing structured data and schema markup
  • Same patterns and copy structure as every other AI site
  • No understanding of your market or competitive landscape

What experience adds

  • Keyword-researched meta tags targeting your actual market
  • Strategic internal linking that builds topical authority
  • Full JSON-LD schema that earns rich snippets
  • Content architecture based on 20+ years of what converts
  • A competitive edge your competitors can't replicate with a prompt

Everyone has access to AI now. The difference isn't the tool. It's knowing what to build, why to build it, and how to make it outperform every other AI-generated site in your market.

Web performance speed metrics and Core Web Vitals optimization for Central Florida business websites

What good performance actually looks like.

Google's Core Web Vitals are the standard. These are the targets I hit, consistently, across every site I build and optimize.

LCP

Largest Contentful Paint

Under 2.5s

How fast your main content loads. Over 2.5 seconds and you're losing both visitors and rankings. Most template sites clock in at 4+ seconds on mobile.

Good: < 2.5s Poor: > 4.0s
INP

Interaction to Next Paint

Under 200ms

How responsive your site feels when someone taps a button or fills out a form. Slow interactions make your site feel broken, even if it looks fine.

Good: < 200ms Poor: > 500ms
CLS

Cumulative Layout Shift

Under 0.1

How stable your page layout is as it loads. When content jumps around, visitors get frustrated and Google takes notice. It hurts your rankings.

Good: < 0.1 Poor: > 0.25

Beyond Core Web Vitals

PageSpeed Score 90+ mobile & desktop
Time to First Byte Under 200ms
First Contentful Paint Under 1.8s
Total Blocking Time Under 200ms
Lighthouse SEO Score 95+ consistently
Accessibility Score 90+ baseline
Local Search

Dominate local search in your market.

For service businesses in Orlando, Tampa, and across Central Florida, local SEO is where the highest-intent leads come from. When someone searches "near me," your business needs to be the one they find.

Google Business Profile

Full optimization of your GBP listing: categories, services, Q&A, photos, and posts. The foundation of local visibility.

Local Schema Markup

LocalBusiness, Service, and GeoCoordinates schema that tells Google exactly where you are and what you do.

City & Area Pages

Location-specific landing pages built around the neighborhoods and cities your customers search from. Not thin doorway pages. Real, useful content.

Review & Citation Strategy

Consistent NAP data across directories, review generation workflows, and reputation signals that boost your map pack ranking.

How I approach a performance audit.

A systematic process that uncovers what's holding your site back and fixes it in priority order.

01

Audit & Diagnose

I run a full technical audit: PageSpeed, Core Web Vitals, crawl analysis, Search Console data, and competitive benchmarking. You get a clear picture of where you stand and what's costing you traffic.

02

Prioritize & Plan

Not all fixes are equal. I rank every issue by revenue impact and implementation effort, then build a roadmap that tackles the highest-value problems first.

03

Fix & Optimize

I implement the fixes: code optimization, image compression, structured data, meta tags, internal linking, and everything else on the roadmap. Each change is tested before it goes live.

04

Monitor & Refine

Performance isn't a one-time project. I set up monitoring, track ranking changes, and continue optimizing based on real data. Your site keeps getting faster and more visible.

Frequently asked questions.

What is technical SEO and why does it matter?
Technical SEO covers everything that affects how search engines crawl, index, and rank your site. That includes site speed, mobile usability, structured data, internal linking, canonical tags, and crawl errors. Without a solid technical foundation, great content won't rank the way it should.
How long does it take to see results from SEO work?
Technical fixes like speed improvements and structured data can show results within weeks. Ranking improvements for competitive keywords typically take 3 to 6 months, depending on your market and competition. Local SEO improvements often appear faster since the competitive landscape is smaller.
What are Core Web Vitals?
Core Web Vitals are three metrics Google uses to measure how your site feels to visitors: Largest Contentful Paint (how fast your main content loads), Interaction to Next Paint (how responsive your site feels), and Cumulative Layout Shift (how stable your layout is). They directly impact your rankings.
Can an AI-built website rank well on Google?
AI tools can produce decent-looking sites, but they typically ship with generic meta tags, no structured data, no internal linking strategy, and the same copy patterns as everyone else using the same tool. Your competitors have access to the same AI builders. What sets a site apart is the strategy, keyword research, and technical optimization behind it.
Do you work with existing sites or only new builds?
Both. I do performance audits and SEO optimization on existing sites regardless of how they were built. Whether you're on WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, or a custom platform, I can identify what's holding you back and fix it.
What does a technical SEO audit include?
A full audit covers site speed (Core Web Vitals, PageSpeed scores), crawlability (robots.txt, sitemap, crawl errors), on-page SEO (meta tags, headings, structured data), internal linking, mobile usability, and competitive benchmarking. You get a prioritized report with the highest-impact fixes identified first.

Ready to stop being invisible?

I'll audit your site's performance and SEO, identify the highest-impact fixes, and build a plan to get you ranking and converting. No generic recommendations. Real analysis specific to your business and your market.
