SEO Audit Services

An SEO audit tells you exactly why your website isn’t ranking and what to fix first. Our SEO audit services combine a full technical crawl, an on-page and content review, a backlink profile review, and an AI search readiness check, delivered as a prioritized action plan ranked by impact. No 40-page PDF of automated warnings; a clear roadmap you can act on.

What Our SEO Audit Covers

Technical SEO Audit

Crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and site architecture. The same checks behind our technical SEO services.

On-Page & Content Review

Titles, headings, internal linking, and how well your content matches search intent, with clear keep, improve, or consolidate calls.

AI Search Readiness

Schema depth, entity consistency, answer-first structure, and llms.txt, so ChatGPT, Gemini, and AI Overviews can find and cite you. See AI search optimization.

Performance & Page Speed

Load times, render-blocking assets, and Core Web Vitals scoring, with fixes ranked by impact. Related: page speed optimization.

Local Search Signals

Google Business Profile, NAP consistency, and location page structure for businesses that win or lose in the map pack. Related: local SEO services.

Backlink Profile Review

Who links to you, how authoritative and relevant those links are, whether anything looks toxic enough to disavow, and which links competitors have earned that you have not. Feeds into our off-page SEO services.

Analytics & Tracking Review

Whether Search Console and GA4 are set up correctly, whether form submissions and calls are actually being recorded, and whether the numbers in your reports can be trusted. Related: marketing and analytics.

Competitive Context

How your site stacks up against the pages actually outranking you, and which gaps are worth closing first.

How the Audit Works

01

Crawl & Collect

We crawl your site the way search engines do and pull data from Google Search Console, analytics, and performance tools to build a complete picture.

02

Manual Review

A developer reads your actual code and templates, not just tool output. This is where the issues automated audits miss get found.

03

Prioritize by Impact

Every finding is ranked by its effect on rankings, AI visibility, and conversions, so you know what matters now and what can wait.

04

Deliver & Walk Through

You get the full report plus a walkthrough in plain language. Want the fixes implemented? We build WordPress sites, so we can ship them too.

An Audit Built by Developers

Most SEO audits are exported from a tool and lightly annotated. Ours are performed by the team that builds custom WordPress sites, which changes what gets found: template-level issues, render-blocking code, schema errors, and structural problems that never show up in an automated report. It also changes what happens next. Because we write code, the audit’s recommendations are ready to implement, by your team or ours.

Cataloging Content

Where a Content Audit Fits

A full SEO audit has four recognized components: technical, on-page, content, and off-page. Ours covers the technical foundations, on-page fundamentals, performance, local signals, and AI search readiness, and the content review judges whether each page actually matches the intent it targets.

A content audit is the deeper version of that one component: a page-by-page inventory of the site, measured against traffic, rankings, engagement, and business purpose, with a keep, improve, merge, or retire decision on every URL. On a small site that work fits inside the main audit. On a site with hundreds of pages it is a substantial exercise in its own right, so we scope it as a separate phase, usually once the technical foundation is solid.

Either way it is one engagement with one prioritized plan, not two reports to reconcile. Our content audit entry explains the method in detail.

FAQs

SEO Audit FAQs

What does an SEO audit include?

Our SEO audit services cover the full picture: a technical crawl of your site (indexability, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, and site architecture), an on-page and content review, a backlink profile review covering link quality, relevance, and competitor gaps, a check of your AI search readiness, and a review of your analytics and tracking so you know the numbers you are measuring against can be trusted. You get a prioritized fix plan ranked by impact, so you know exactly what to tackle first and why.

What’s the difference between an SEO audit and a content audit?

An SEO audit covers the whole site across its four standard components: technical foundations, on-page fundamentals, content, and off-page signals, plus performance and AI search readiness. The content portion checks whether your pages match the intent they target. A content audit is the deeper version of that one component: a page-by-page inventory measured against traffic, rankings, engagement, and business purpose, with a keep, improve, merge, or retire decision on every URL. It is part of the same engagement rather than a separate purchase. On smaller sites it fits inside the main audit; on larger ones we scope it as its own phase, usually once the technical foundation is solid.

How is your SEO audit different from free audit tools?

Automated tools output long lists of issues with no sense of which ones matter. Our audits are performed by the same team that builds custom WordPress sites, so we read the actual code, judge each issue’s real impact on rankings and AI visibility, and hand you a prioritized plan. And because we’re developers, we can implement the fixes too, not just report them.

Does an SEO audit cover AI search readiness?

Yes. Alongside traditional SEO checks, we evaluate how well your site is set up for AI search engines like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews: schema depth, entity consistency, answer-ready content structure, and files like llms.txt. The fixes that help you rank in Google are increasingly the same ones that get you cited by AI, and the audit covers both.
