SEO Audit Service

An SEO audit is a structured review of a website's technical health, on-page signals, content and links that ends in a ranked list of fixes. The value is the order of work: what to fix first, what can wait, who should do each task, and how to check that it worked.

What is SEO audit?

An audit crawls your site the way a search engine does and compares what it finds with what you want to rank for. It looks at whether pages can be crawled and indexed, whether titles, headings and internal links are clear, whether content answers what searchers want, and whether the links pointing to you help or hurt.

Many audits are automated reports with hundreds of warnings and no judgment. Ours is built around decisions: a short list of fixes ranked by what they are likely to change, with the evidence for each. What each audit option includes is set out on the SEO audit package page.

Problems it solves

My traffic dropped and I do not know why.

We check the usual causes in order: crawling and indexing changes, technical errors, lost or changed pages, content changes and links, and we show the evidence for what we find.

I have a tool report with thousands of issues. Which ones matter?

Most warnings are minor. We separate what blocks crawling or indexing from what is cosmetic, and rank the rest.

My agency says everything is fine, but nothing grows.

A second opinion with the evidence shown. If the setup is sound, we say so and point to where growth has to come from, usually content, links or both.

I am about to migrate, redesign or change platform.

An audit before a change gives you a baseline and a list of what must carry over: URLs, redirects, templates and tags.

I want to hire an SEO company but cannot judge their proposals.

An independent audit gives you a plan you can use with any team, ours or someone else's.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

A good fit

  • Sites with a traffic or ranking problem and no clear cause.
  • Businesses about to start an SEO campaign that want a plan first.
  • Owners who want a second opinion on an existing agency's work.

Probably not for you

  • New sites with only a few pages. There is little to audit, so start with a build plan.
  • Anyone who wants the fixes done without further decisions. An audit is a plan, and doing the work is a separate scope such as technical SEO or on-page SEO.
  • Sites where nobody can change templates, titles or content.

How it works

  1. Agree the goal

    What you want to rank for, which pages earn money, and what changed recently.

  2. Crawl and collect the data

    Search Console and analytics access, a full crawl, and server data where it is available.

  3. Review six areas

    Crawling and indexing, site structure and internal links, on-page signals, content against search intent, speed and Core Web Vitals, and backlinks.

  4. Rank the findings

    Each finding is rated by effort, evidence and likely effect, and grouped by who fixes it: developer, content team or marketing.

  5. Walk you through it

    We explain the findings, answer questions and agree the next steps, with or without us doing the work.

What you receive

Related work

We have not published a case study of an audit on its own, so these are the closest examples. The Elementor case study starts from a technical audit of a WordPress site and traces each finding to its cause. The technical SEO case study covers the fixes for a large site. Both show how findings turn into work. The scope of the audit you receive depends on the package you choose.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in an SEO audit?

Crawl and index health, site structure, on-page signals, content against search intent, speed and Core Web Vitals, and backlinks, ending in a ranked list of fixes. The depth depends on the audit package, and the package page lists what each one covers.

How is this different from the SEO audit package?

This page explains what an audit is and how we run it. The package page lists the scope of each audit option. Start there if you already know you want to buy.

What access do you need?

Usually Google Search Console and analytics, plus a way to crawl the site. We tell you in advance what we need, and we ask for read-only access wherever possible.

Will the audit tell me exactly why traffic dropped?

Sometimes it shows a clear cause, such as a block on crawling or lost pages. Often it narrows the list of causes. Where the evidence is not conclusive we say so and do not guess.

Who does the fixes?

Your team can use the ranked list as it is. We can also do the work through technical SEO, on-page SEO or a monthly package, and we scope that separately.
