SEO audit services
An SEO audit service is a specialist-led review of your whole website that ends in a written report and a ranked list of fixes. Unlike an automated scan, it combines crawl data, analytics, search results and manual checks to explain what is limiting organic performance, why it matters and what to do about it first.

What's included
6 DeliverablesTechnical audit
A full crawl and manual review of indexing, site architecture, redirects, canonical tags, speed, mobile usability and structured data, with examples of each problem and where it appears on the site.
Content and on-page analysis
Titles, headings, copy, internal links and search intent are assessed page by page, highlighting thin, duplicate or overlapping content and the pages with the most room to improve. Priority pages come first.
Backlink profile review
We examine who links to you, how natural the profile looks, which pages attract links and any patterns that could carry risk, then compare it with the competitors you actually face.
Competitor and gap analysis
We identify the terms and topics your competitors rank for that you do not, and the page types and content depth that appear to be working for them. Gaps are ranked by value.
Prioritised action plan
Every finding is rated by likely impact and effort, with clear instructions that a developer or editor can follow, so you know what to do first and what can wait.
Findings walkthrough
A live session to take you and your team through the report, answer questions and agree next steps, whether you carry the fixes out yourselves or ask us to. Recording is shared.
How it works
4 StepsStep 1: Scope and access
We agree goals and the site areas to cover, and request read access to analytics and Search Console. Questions about past changes help too.
Step 2: Collect data
We crawl the site, pull search and traffic data, and gather competitor and link information. Everything is stored so findings can be checked later.
Step 3: Analyze and verify
Automated findings are checked by hand, so the report holds real problems and not tool noise. Each issue gets a severity rating.
Step 4: Report and walkthrough
You receive the report and action plan, then a session to explain the findings and decide what to do next.
Frequently asked questions
5 QuestionsHow is this different from your free SEO audit tool?
The free tool gives a quick automated snapshot of common issues. A paid audit adds manual analysis, full-site crawling, competitor and backlink review, a prioritised plan and a conversation with a specialist who can answer questions. The audit is the right choice when decisions or budgets depend on the findings.
How long does an audit take?
It depends on the size and complexity of the site and how quickly we get access. A small site is much quicker than a large ecommerce store. We confirm timing when we agree the scope. Very large sites may be sampled by template.
Can I use the report without hiring you?
Yes. The report is written so your developers, writers or another agency can act on it. We are glad to help with implementation, but there is no obligation to use us for it. It includes clear instructions for each fix.
How often should a site be audited?
A full audit makes sense before a major investment, after a redesign or traffic drop, and then every year or so for most sites. Lighter checks in between catch new issues sooner. Changes in your market or a new platform are also good reasons for a fresh look.
Will fixing the issues improve my rankings?
Fixing real problems removes obstacles, but we cannot promise ranking gains or timeframes, since competitors, content and search updates all play a part. The plan puts the changes most likely to help first. Some fixes show effects sooner than others.
