I offer one-time or ongoing technical SEO optimization

Some of my clients want me to optimize their site once, while others want ongoing improvements. I offer both and enjoy what I do.

Implementation included

If your site uses technology I work with, such as React, Astro, or Next.js, I can audit its technical SEO and implement the improvements.

Investigation & strategy only

If you have your own in-house development team and do not want me to change the code, I can provide a report with my findings and recommended strategy, while your team handles the code changes.

I provide technical SEO covering these areas and more

Page structure

Clear structure makes your content easier for visitors, crawlers, and LLMs to navigate and understand. I improve headings, content hierarchy, and internal links so your important pages are easier to find.

Crawlability and indexability

Search engines need to access your pages before they can appear in results. I find and fix technical issues that prevent your important content from being crawled or indexed.

Core Web Vitals and page speed

Slow pages and shifting layouts frustrate visitors. I make your pages load faster, respond sooner, and stay visually stable for a smoother browsing experience.

Structured data and schema markup

Structured data helps search engines understand your content. I add and fix relevant markup to support enhanced search results for eligible pages.

Canonical tags and hreflang

Duplicate pages and language versions need clear signals. I fix canonical and hreflang tags to help search engines identify your preferred pages and their intended audiences.

Redirects and URL structure

Broken links and redirect chains make your site harder to navigate. I fix these issues and improve URL structure so visitors and search engines reach the right pages.

JavaScript SEO and rendering

Important content can be missed when your site relies on JavaScript. I investigate rendering issues and make sure search engines can access the content your visitors see.

International SEO

Your site needs to work for audiences across languages and countries. I improve how you organize and link regional pages so visitors can find the version that suits them.

Metadata and on-page SEO

Clear titles and descriptions help people understand your pages in search results. I improve these alongside headings and content to better match what your audience is searching for.

Jere has been a joy to work with on our projects. We wanted clean, high-performance code that fits within a scalable and secure architecture and were struggling to find a developer who shared our vision, until we started working with Jere. His methodology is brilliant and we trust him to work autonomously on our projects. We truly appreciate his ability to grasp our business problems and work on solutions.

Jere is amazing. We've contracted him for a very last-minute (and expectedly urgent) project, and he was a rock-star. What I really appreciated is how our project was treated not simply as a one-off job, but I could tell how a lot of thought and planning went into every single step along the way. Jere provided some extremely valuable advice on how to approach our challenges, was very technical and delivered everything in the agreed timeframe. In the end - the project was a massive success on all fronts...
