Services / SEO Audits

SEO Audits. Clarity before complexity.

Understand what is holding search back, which opportunities deserve attention and what your team should do next. Evidence first. A practical roadmap after.

  • Evidence-backed findings
  • Priorities, not just warnings
  • Implementation-ready handover

01 / Diagnose

Find the real constraints

Validate significant issues against page and account evidence.

02 / Prioritise

Know what deserves effort

Connect technical findings to business priorities and delivery capacity.

03 / Act

Give your team a clear handover

Recommendations with owners, dependencies and validation criteria.

Diagnosis, not noise

An audit should make decisions easier.

A long list of warnings does not tell you what is blocking discovery, which pages matter or what your team should fix first. Acting on every tool alert can waste time and budget.

We combine technical checks, page-level evidence and commercial context into a clear roadmap, with owners, dependencies and acceptance criteria for each agreed priority.

Every alert is a signal. Not every signal is a priority.

A missing description on a low-value page is not the same as a blocked revenue-driving collection. We explain what is observed, how confident we are and what needs further investigation before proposing work.

What we investigate

Six lenses on your organic performance.

Coverage, crawl limits, markets, sampling and access are agreed upfront. The report records exclusions and uncertainties rather than implying every page received a manual review.

01

Crawling & indexing

Check whether important pages can be reached and interpreted, and distinguish crawl access from actual indexing.

  • Response codes, robots rules and noindex
  • Canonicals, sitemaps and rendering
  • Priority-page inspection and coverage trends

Typical output

Evidence-backed indexability issues and affected URL examples.

02

Architecture & internal links

Review how a customer and a crawler move from your main pages to the pages that matter.

  • Navigation, hierarchy and orphan candidates
  • Internal links and redirect chains
  • Facets, pagination and duplicate pathways

Typical output

Structure recommendations with page and template dependencies.

03

Content & search intent

Assess whether your pages answer real buyer questions and give each priority topic a useful destination.

  • Intent-to-page mapping and overlap
  • Titles, headings and content usefulness
  • Relevant competitors and opportunity gaps

Typical output

Page improvements, consolidation candidates and content briefs.

04

Experience & search appearance

Separate useful performance and product-data improvements from cosmetic audit-score chasing.

  • Mobile experience and Core Web Vitals
  • Relevant structured-data validation
  • Template-level performance constraints

Typical output

Experience findings with field/lab distinctions and testing steps.

05

Authority & credibility

Look for evidence of genuine expertise and relevant reputation without inventing credentials or treating tool scores as Google metrics.

  • Business and author information
  • Relevant referring-domain context
  • Spam-policy concerns where evidence supports them

Typical output

Credibility recommendations and qualified link-risk observations.

06

Measurement & delivery readiness

Check the baseline and the team's ability to turn recommendations into work that can be verified.

  • Search Console and analytics consistency
  • Key events and attribution limitations
  • Owners, access and release dependencies

Typical output

Baseline definitions and an implementation-ready priority register.

Start with the right question

What prompted your audit?

The reason for the review shapes what we investigate first.

Establish a baseline

Get a clear picture before spending more.

For teams unsure which issues are material or whether existing SEO activity addresses the right problems.

  • Review representative templates and commercially important pages
  • Validate significant alerts against page-level evidence
  • Create a ranked backlog with effort and implementation context

Inside a useful finding

From observation to a testable next step.

Illustrative examples only—not findings from your website or client results. Actual priorities depend on the affected pages, business context and evidence.

Illustrative finding / Investigate first

A priority collection carries a noindex instruction.

Evidence
Example only: the rendered page contains noindex, the URL is absent from the intended sitemap, and Search Console shows an exclusion consistent with the instruction.
Recommended action
Confirm whether the exclusion is intentional. If the page should be discoverable, remove conflicting directives, update the sitemap and validate the released page.
Owner & confidence
Developer + SEO lead
High confidence in the technical observation; commercial impact still requires measurement.
How to validate
Inspect the released HTML and URL signals. Monitor indexing afterwards; removing noindex does not guarantee inclusion.

The audit process

Clear questions. Careful investigation. Useful answers.

Timing is agreed around the site's complexity and access—not an arbitrary promise. Each stage has a defined output.

  1. 01

    Agree the questions

    Define priority pages, markets, concerns, data access and exclusions. An audit should answer a business question.

    What you receive

    Written coverage and access checklist.

  2. 02

    Collect & investigate

    Combine crawl and account data with manual template reviews. Validate important findings and record evidence gaps.

    What you receive

    Evidence register and working diagnosis.

  3. 03

    Prioritise & explain

    Separate blockers, opportunities and maintenance. Add confidence, dependencies, effort context and proposed ownership.

    What you receive

    Executive summary and implementation roadmap.

  4. 04

    Handover & next steps

    Review recommendations with your team and agree who implements and validates. Further delivery is scoped separately.

    What you receive

    Review workshop and agreed next actions.

Your handover

A report built to leave the inbox.

Decision-ready summary

The main constraints, opportunities, limitations and choices in language leadership can act on.

Evidence & issue register

Affected examples, observations, confidence, recommended actions and validation criteria for each priority.

Practical delivery roadmap

A sequenced backlog with owners, dependencies and relative effort—not unsupported revenue predictions.

Team review & handover

A discussion of the findings, open questions and the implementation or retesting scope you want next.

Scope & investment

Know what you are commissioning.

Audit fees are individually scoped. Your proposal sets the boundaries before work begins—without bundling an unwanted long-term commitment.

Define the coverage

Site and template count, priority pages, markets, account access, crawl limits and sampling approach.

Agree the deliverables

Report depth, evidence register, roadmap, review meeting and delivery checkpoints.

Separate diagnosis from delivery

Implementation, content production, specialist testing, retesting and migration monitoring only when explicitly included.

Discuss your SEO audit

You keep account ownership and can take the recommendations to your existing team. An enquiry is not an order or payment.

Grounded in official guidance

Technical evidence has limits. We explain them.

Independent Google guidance—not agency performance claims or endorsements.

A live test isn’t an indexing promise

Search Console’s URL Inspection tool distinguishes indexed information from a live test. A successful live test cannot guarantee indexing or Google's canonical selection.

Read Google’s guidance

Performance needs real context

Google's good Core Web Vitals thresholds are LCP ≤ 2.5 seconds, INP ≤ 200 milliseconds and CLS ≤ 0.1. Field experience and lab diagnostics are different; good scores alone do not guarantee rankings.

Read Google’s guidance

No guaranteed number-one rankings

Google warns against guaranteed first-place rankings and claims of a special relationship with Google. An audit should make its evidence and proposed work understandable.
