Crawl Budget & Technical SEO

89% healthy crawl rate, <1% server errors

I rebuilt the XML sitemap, fixed 4XX/301 chains, compressed render-blocking CSS/JS, and prioritised mobile-first crawling. Result: Googlebot now spends 98% of its budget on refresh crawls of money pages — not waste URLs.

A textbook compounding-content trajectory

From a near-zero baseline in Aug 2024, traffic climbed steadily through Q1 2025, broke out around Feb 2025 after a topical cluster + internal linking overhaul, and has continued to compound through 2026 — surviving multiple Google core updates with no traffic loss.

  • Topical content clusters around SME R&D scheme, RDEC, merged scheme & advance assurance
  • HMRC-aligned schema: Service, FAQ, HowTo and Article markup for rich results

  • Technical SEO rebuild: Core Web Vitals, sitemap, redirect cleanup and crawl budget tuning
Business outcome

Predictable, high-value claim enquiries
