Should the English and Norwegian sites be hreflang pairs?

Only when they are translations of the same document. A Norwegian service page and an English explainer are different pages. Pairing them as hreflang gets both ignored.

Do you work outside Next.js?

Yes. We implement directly when we can, and write precise tickets when your team owns the CMS.

What does technical SEO cost?

It is part of SEO retainers from 9,900 NOK per month. We do not quote a vanity audit that nobody implements.

Do Core Web Vitals matter in Norway?

They matter wherever the page is slow enough to hurt crawling and conversion. Norway is not a special exemption. Mobile speed is the usual problem.

Can the audit be read in English?

Yes. English is the reporting language. The fixes still follow the language of the URL that should rank.

Technical SEO for the Norwegian index

If Google cannot crawl the Norwegian pages, the content and the ads do not matter.

Direct answer

What is technical SEO in Norway?

Technical SEO in Norway is the work that lets Google.no crawl, index and understand the pages Norwegian buyers should find. That includes speed, internal links, canonicals, and which URLs are Norwegian versus English. Visionmedia does this from Oslo. SEO programs start at 9,900 NOK per month.

A site can look finished in English and still be invisible in Norway because the indexable pages are in the wrong language, or blocked, or duplicated.

The failures we see on international sites

The usual pattern is an English corporate site with a “Norway” menu item that is a PDF, a translated slug that canonicals back to the US page, or hreflang that points at a redirect. Google then indexes the global page and ignores the market you actually sell into.

The second pattern is a Norwegian site that is slow, full of faceted URLs, or missing the pages that match commercial queries. Speed and indexation are not a branding exercise. They decide whether the content you pay for can rank.

What the first month covers

We check what Google has indexed, which URLs compete with each other, how Norwegian and English versions are tied together, and whether the templates are fast enough on mobile. You get a short list in English: fix these, ignore these, do not launch a blog until this is done.

Fixes are shipped in the site you own. If the stack is Next.js we can often do the work directly. If it is a locked platform we write the tickets so your developers are not guessing.

Where it sits next to content and links

Technical SEO does not replace Norwegian copy or links. It makes both of those worth doing. We will not sell a content program against a site that canonicals every page to the homepage.

Ongoing SEO retainers start at 9,900 NOK per month. A one-off list of issues is only useful if someone then ships the fixes. Send the domain and we will say which of those you need.
