With Google's September 2025 'Perspective' Core Update pushing for real, user-focused content over generic summaries, technical SEO isn't just box ticking. It's the first-hand stories and genuine content that let your site actually show up where it counts.
At The Leading Solution, we handle technical SEO in Singapore by tackling architecture, audits, linking, speed, and core setups. Everything ties back to your goals. We deliver fixes that lift rankings in months. Need a site audit? A full technical SEO overhaul? We'll sort keyword overlaps and layer in the schema for those efficient rich snippets.
SEO Architecture: Structure for Success
Your site's architecture is the blueprint. It shows Google what's key, reduces clutter, and ensures no page sits idle. In Singapore, searches get hyper-local - like "best movers near me in Tampines." That’s why you need a robust structure to optimise crawl efficiency and, eventually, boost rankings.
Every Page Has Only One Focus Keyword Group
Google's picky when it comes to matching queries. In this case, you should keep it simple: one topic per page will keep things focused and you’ll avoid making multiple pages fight for the same spot.
Take a relocation business. Homepage owns "movers Singapore." Subpages zoom in on "office movers Tampines." No bleed-over. We map it out together, utilising tools like SEMrush to identify clusters. Add LSI terms for natural depth. SG sites index faster, while quality and relevance signals strengthen.
SEO Hierarchy: Prioritise What Matters
Hierarchy is like your site's org chart - top-level pages (homepage, services) get the prime links and crawls. We organise things logically: Homepage > Categories > Subpages, using breadcrumbs and XML sitemaps to guide bots. The end goal is to ensure our most important pages are positioned high in the hierarchy or in critical areas, such as the homepage, thereby increasing their chances of ranking.
Website Site Audit - Overall Health Check
A technical SEO audit is your site's MOT - uncovering hidden issues tanking your performance. Singapore’s mobile sites, particularly slow ones, can lose 38-56.8% of visitors on average. This is the reason more clients are increasingly looking for information on how to perform a technical SEO audit; we deliver one tailored to Singapore's mobile-heavy landscape.
Screaming Frog. Ahrefs. We scan it all, zeroing in on high-impact fixes. Redirect chains that loop forever? Swap for clean 301s. 404s? Here’s a list of the errors we detect:
-
301s, 302s
-
404s and broken links
-
Slow loading speed
-
Missing meta titles, descriptions, headers
-
Missing alt texts
Optimised Internal Linking
Internal linking isn't just navigation - it's how you pass SEO value around your site. For technical SEO Singapore, where local competition is fierce, smart links can improve page authority and rankings by guiding crawlers to high-value pages.
Optimised Anchor Texts
We craft anchors with keyword variations - exact for primaries ("movers Singapore"), partial for organic searches ("best local relocation tips") - to avoid over-optimisation penalties. Aim for around 60% branded URLs, 30% naked URLs, and no more than 10% exact-match URLs to achieve a balanced approach.
Most Important Pages Are Linked Most Often
Google weighs frequency: Homepage links to services (high equity), services to blogs (medium). We audit existing links, adding 5-10 per page to pillars, ensuring your key content gets the spotlight it deserves. Success stories like those of Semrush and Picsart demonstrate that automated strategic internal linking can yield a 20% increase in clicks to high-value pages. You can achieve similar results within months, without requiring additional backlinks.
Loading Speed – Mobile and Desktop
Google's 2025 algorithm penalises sites by 10-20% in rankings for those taking over 3 seconds to load, making speed non-negotiable. In Singapore, with 70%+ mobile traffic, we optimise for both, targeting <2.5s loads via PageSpeed Insights.
Sample Strategy for Reducing Page Loading Speed:
-
Compress & Cache: Minify CSS/JS and enable browser caching—reducing load times by 40%.
-
Image Optimisation: WebP format, lazy loading for galleries.
-
Server Tweaks: CDN for SG users, reduce redirects.
Other Technical Set-Ups
These are the behind-the-scenes essentials that make your site crawlable and secure. We'll handle each in your campaign, with monthly checks to keep things sharp.
Mobile Optimisation
Responsive design is table stakes, but we go further: Viewport tags, touch-friendly navigation, and AMP for news sites. Test with Google's tool - aim for 100% pass rate, as roughly 50% SG traffic is mobile. As Google continues to implement mobile-first indexing in 2025, sites that prioritise responsive design and quick loads see up to 20% higher rankings in local results, avoiding the bounce rate that affects slow pages significantly. This alone can boost rankings by 20% in local queries, especially with professional mobile optimisation for Singapore.
SSL Security Set-Up
HTTPS is a ranking signal no one should ignore in today’s digital world. We install free Let's Encrypt certificates or premium ones for e-commerce, ensuring "secure" padlocks and no mixed content warnings. The results are a 10% CTR boost and trust for conversions; in the Fitness Footwear case study, switching to an EV SSL certificate drove a 16.9% increase in conversions by building shopper confidence.
Creation & Updating XML sitemap
Your sitemap is Google's map— we generate it via Yoast or custom XML, submitting to GSC/Bing. Update for new pages (weekly for blogs), including priorities (homepage 1.0). For dynamic sites, AI tools are beneficial; this speeds up indexation by 30%, aligning with generative engine optimisation for AI-generated summaries.
Robotx.txt Creation and Update
Block bots from /admin or duplicates with simple directives (User-agent: * Disallow: /private/). We check for blocks on key pages, ensuring crawlers reach your money content first, which avoids a 20% to 30% wasted budget.
Google Analytics and Search Console Set-Up
GA4 for traffic flows, GSC for impressions/clicks - we verify properties, set goals (e.g., form submits), and link for unified data. This tracks the impact of the technical SEO audit, spotting drops early for 10-15% faster fixes.
Schema Mark-Ups
JSON-LD for FAQs, products, locals - boosts rich snippets (25% more clicks in SG). We add organisation schema for knowledge panels; for Q&A, it feeds answer engine optimisation, helping zero-click wins.
Unoptimised Alt Texts
Every image needs descriptive alts (e.g., "Singapore office movers team loading van") for accessibility and rankings. We achieve 100% coverage, utilising tools for bulk edits, which increases image traffic by 10-20%.
AI Crawl & Index Optimisation
In 2025, AI crawlers like Google's Gemini require sites that render fast for dynamic content, as bot traffic has risen 18% year-over-year with surges like GPTBot's 305% growth. We enhance JavaScript-heavy pages with server-side rendering or hydration tweaks. Of course, there are risks, such as incomplete or "hallucinated" indices, resulting from poor structure. We counter all that with human review for spot-on accuracy.
