SEO Audits

Take control of your organic search results with an audit to explore and refine the foundation of your website

What is an SEO Audit?

SEO Audits drill down into the foundational elements of your website’s organic visibility; content, links, and technical SEO. 

An audit looks at these pillars in the context of your industry, your customers, and your business goals to understand its SEO health. How healthy it is, and how successfully and consistently your website is appearing for valuable keywords.  

Using a combination of manual checks and tools, I’ll uncover opportunities across your site and provide recommendations for where you’re missing a trick or three in your SEO.

Who is an audit most suited to?

I’d recommend an SEO audit if:

Your website has been built pre-launch in a staging environment

Your website went live without any SEO input

Your website has been live for 12+ months

My auditing also adapts to real business, so if you need multi-site audits or technical only, you’ll be in safe hands.

FAQs

Software audits are a fantastic introduction to SEO for brands with small budgets. They reveal all of your foundational mistakes.

However, software reports are shallow. They look at a specific set of SEO fundamentals, nothing more, nothing less. They don’t consider your brand, business, local market or competitors. An SEO consultant will provide a tailored strategy and will consider SEO ranking factors in the context of your business; diving deeper into the areas that are most important for SEO success and your industry.

The audit will include insights, opportunities & recommendations which can be passed over to the different teams (technical & content) to start implementing changes based on impact. There will be other findings which will be more applicable to incorporate into a task roadmap.

I talk my clients through what I’ve found, help them fill skill gaps and liaise with internal & external parties to execute recommendations in a timely manner.
