A developer with an SEO past
My path started with content sites and organic traffic. Technical SEO is the foundation my frontend skills grew out of.

Technical SEO: indexing, speed, and Core Web Vitals
Technical SEO goes into the code from the start, not a list of fixes handed off later. I get sites into technical shape for search: indexing, structure, speed, and markup. I'm Evgeniy Volkov, a fullstack developer with a real SEO background. That means I find the problem and ship the fix in the same step.

Why work with me
An SEO audit that won't sit in a drawer
The usual pain: an SEO specialist writes a spec, the developer ignores it or can't parse it. I cover both sides: I find the problem and fix it myself.
From audit to implementation
I don't hand off some vague spec to deal with later. I fix templates, rendering, markup, and redirects directly in the code.
I understand rendering
SSR, hydration, client-only content, and how all of it affects indexing. I see exactly what the search bot actually receives.
Migrations without losses
Platform, domain, or URL structure changes with single-hop redirects and continuous rankings monitoring.
What's included
Technical SEO areas
The full technical layer most teams skip.
- 01
Indexing and crawling
Indexing strategy, crawl budget, robots, noindex, and clean canonical tags. Search indexes what matters and ignores the noise.
- 02
Architecture and internal linking
URL structure, topic clusters, internal links, pagination, and faceted navigation without duplicates.
- 03
Structured data
schema.org / JSON-LD markup as a proper graph matched to visible content: Service, Article, BreadcrumbList, FAQ. No fake ratings.
- 04
Speed and migrations
Core Web Vitals, rendering and LCP fixes, sitemap clusters, and SEO-safe migrations.

Process
How SEO work gets done
- 01
Technical audit
I crawl the site, analyze indexing, speed, markup, and structure. Issues are collected and sorted by priority.
- 02
Implementation plan
A clear task list: what's critical, what's important, what's nice to have. With impact estimates, not '50 rows in a spreadsheet'.
- 03
Implementation in code
I fix templates, rendering, canonical tags, markup, sitemap, and redirects. Solo or alongside your team.
- 04
Speed
Core Web Vitals optimization: LCP, INP, CLS, rendering, and caching into the green zone.
- 05
Verification
Indexing checks in Search Console and Yandex Webmaster, markup validation, and a follow-up crawl.
- 06
Monitoring
I track rankings, indexing, and errors after launch, with before/after results documented.

Depends on site size, number of templates, and depth of implementation. Here's a rough picture.
- Technical auditfrom a few days
A full breakdown of indexing, speed, markup, and structure with a prioritized action plan.
- Audit + implementationfrom 2 weeks
Audit and fixes applied directly in code: canonical tags, markup, sitemap, speed, redirects.
- SEO migrationfrom 3 weeks
Platform, domain, or URL structure change with redirects and rankings monitoring.
These are ballpark figures, not a formal offer. Exact estimate comes after I have access to the site and analytics.
Questions
Common questions about technical SEO
How is technical SEO different from regular SEO?
I don't do link building or content production. My zone is technical: making sure the site loads fast, gets indexed correctly, and is readable by search engines at the code level.
Do you only audit, or do you implement as well?
Both. The key advantage is that I'm a developer: I can find the problems and fix them in the code right away.
Do you work with any stack?
Best with Nuxt, Vue, Next.js, and React, where rendering and SSR really matter. I also handle technical tasks on WordPress and other CMS platforms.
Can you do a migration without losing traffic?
Yes. It's a frequent task: domain change, platform switch, or URL structure overhaul. I set up single-hop redirects, preserve structure, and keep a close eye on rankings.
How will I see results?
Through indexing and metrics in Google Search Console and Yandex Webmaster, Lighthouse / PageSpeed reports, and rankings movement. We document before and after.
How much does a technical SEO audit cost?
Starting from 10,000 ₽. The price depends on site size, number of templates, and whether you need analysis only or implementation too. A small site I can go through in a couple of days. A store with thousands of pages, faceted navigation, and pagination takes longer. I give a precise estimate after getting access to the site and analytics.
What does a technical audit cover?
I check indexing (robots.txt, sitemap.xml, canonical, noindex), URL structure and internal linking, Core Web Vitals performance (LCP, INP, CLS), schema.org markup, redirects, and rendering. What you get isn't '50 rows in a spreadsheet' but a prioritized list: what's critical, what's important, and what's nice to have.
How quickly do you see results from technical SEO?
Honestly: technical SEO is a foundation, not an 'up' button. Re-indexing speeds up and technical errors clear first, which you'll notice within a couple of weeks in Yandex Webmaster and Search Console. Rankings and traffic growth comes slower, over a 1–3 month horizon, and still depends on content and links, which are outside my scope.
Will this improve rankings in Yandex and Google?
The technical layer removes what blocks growth: poor indexing, duplicates, slow load times, broken markup. It's a necessary condition, not a top-rankings guarantee. If the site was slow and indexed badly, the effect is noticeable. If things are already in solid technical shape, growth will come from content and authority, not from me.
