Whether you’ve been hit by an algorithm update, launching a new site, or plateauing in traffic, we’ll pinpoint exactly what’s working—and what’s not.

What’s Included in Our Full SEO Audit
On-Page SEO Audit
Page-level SEO makes or breaks your visibility. We analyze every key on-page factor including title tags, H1-H6 usage, meta descriptions, keyword placement, duplicate content, thin content, image optimization, internal anchor text, and structured data. We also assess semantic relevance and E-E-A-T signals to ensure each page is aligned with modern SEO expectations
Off-Page SEO & Backlink Profile Review
Backlinks still matter—but not all links help. We audit your backlink profile using tools like Ahrefs and SEMrush to detect toxic links, identify unnatural link velocity, and uncover missing opportunities. We assess domain authority, referring domains, anchor text diversity, and brand mentions—providing both clean-up advice and link-building insights
Technical SEO Audit
We start where search engines start. We crawl your entire site to uncover 404 errors, redirect chains, canonical conflicts, mobile usability issues, Core Web Vitals performance, HTTPS status, and crawl depth. We evaluate your sitemap, robots.txt, indexing status, and internal linking architecture to ensure bots—and users—can move through your site smoothly.
Content Quality & Keyword Alignment
Not all content is created equal. We evaluate the quality, depth, and keyword targeting of your key pages. Are you using outdated terms? Are multiple pages competing for the same keywords? Is your blog content serving search intent? We provide a full content gap and cannibalization analysis—plus recommendations to improve topical authority.
Competitor SEO Audit
Know how your site compares to top competitors in your niche. We benchmark your SEO metrics—domain authority, keyword overlap, content volume, technical health—against your competition. Then we show you the gaps and quick wins to outperform them.
On-Page SEO Audit
SEO On-Page Audits is all about optimizing the content and elements on your website. Our on-page audits cover every detail to ensure your site is fully optimized.
Content Quality
We assess the relevance, depth, and clarity of your content, ensuring it demonstrates strong E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust). We flag thin pages, duplication, and opportunities for richer, user-focused optimization.
Meta Tags
Your title tags, meta descriptions, and image alt attributes are reviewed for keyword alignment, click-through rate potential, and proper formatting — making sure each page earns attention in SERPs.
Internal Linking & Structure
We optimize your internal linking strategy to boost crawlability, support topic clusters, and direct authority flow where it matters most.
Headers & Semantic Markup
H1s, H2s, and structured data are audited for logical hierarchy and alignment with user intent, enhancing readability and SERP enhancements like rich snippets.
Keyword Usage & On-Page Targeting
We audit your use of primary and semantic keywords, ensuring each page has a clear topical focus without over-optimization or cannibalization.
Off-Page SEO & Backlink Profile Review
Off-page SEO is where your authority and digital reputation take shape. While on-page optimization builds your foundation, off-page signals elevate your brand’s visibility, trust, and ranking potential. Our Off-Page SEO Audits provide a clear picture of how your website is perceived across the web and where your authority gaps lie — so you can earn trust, links, and rankings.
Backlink Profile
We evaluate the number, quality, and topical relevance of backlinks pointing to your domain. This includes dofollow/nofollow ratios, anchor text diversity, link velocity, and toxic link detection using industry best practices.
Referring Domain Diversity
One link from 10 unique sources outweighs 10 links from one source. We analyze the variety and authority of linking domains — a proven metric for long-term ranking power.
Topical Relevance & Link Context
Backlinks from relevant, trusted sites in your niche signal stronger authority to search engines. We score your links based on content context and subject-matter alignment.
Toxic & Spammy Links Audit
Using SEJ’s “Dark Side of Link Building” guidance, we identify unnatural or manipulative link patterns that could trigger penalties or suppress visibility — and provide disavow recommendations.
Authority Score & Link Growth Trends
We benchmark your domain authority growth over time, detect unnatural link spikes, and offer ongoing monitoring suggestions to stay ahead of algorithm updates.
Technical SEO Audits
Technical SEO is the structural foundation of every high-performing website. If search engines can’t properly crawl, index, and render your content — even the best content won’t rank. Our Technical SEO Audits identify and fix the issues that impact site health, search visibility, and performance at scale. We deliver a clean, crawlable, and index-ready site architecture tailored to modern search engine requirements.
Site Speed
Fast-loading sites improve user experience and impact rankings directly through Core Web Vitals. We diagnose and resolve bottlenecks in code, hosting, and assets to improve load times across devices.
Mobile Usability
With mobile-first indexing as the standard, we ensure your site is responsive, tap-friendly, and fully accessible on all devices — meeting Google’s mobile usability and UX guidelines.
Crawlability & Indexation
We uncover crawl errors, blocked resources, orphan pages, and inefficient crawl paths. Your robots.txt, XML sitemaps, and internal links are all reviewed to ensure efficient discovery of your key content.
Structured Data & Schema Markup
Rich results start with clean, validated structured data. We audit your schema implementation to help improve your visibility in SERPs through stars, FAQs, events, and more.
Site Architecture & Navigation
We assess hierarchy depth, URL structure, breadcrumb trails, and navigation design to support SEO scalability and UX.
Error & Redirect Management
From 404s and soft errors to redirect chains and canonical conflicts — we identify and eliminate technical issues that dilute equity and frustrate both bots and users.
Content Quality & Keyword Alignment
We evaluate how well your content aligns with user intent and target keywords. Each page is reviewed for clarity, depth, originality, and semantic relevance. We ensure your content meets E-E-A-T standards and is strategically mapped to high-value keywords — without over-optimization or cannibalization. The result? Smarter content that ranks better and delivers real value.
Topical Relevance & Depth
We evaluate if your content fully answers the user’s intent and addresses the topic comprehensively. Shallow or generic pages are flagged, and opportunities for depth and value are outlined.
Keyword Targeting & Semantic Coverage
We assess the use of your primary and related keywords — ensuring they are naturally integrated, contextually relevant, and aligned with how real users search. No stuffing, no guesswork.
Readability, Formatting & Engagement
We check that your content is easy to scan, visually structured, and formatted for modern web consumption — improving time on page and reducing bounce.
E-E-A-T Signals in Content
We review how your content demonstrates Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trust. This includes tone, sourcing, author bios, and credibility indicators — essential for trust-building and rankings.
Content Gaps & Competitive Opportunities
Content Gaps & Competitive Opportunities By analyzing your competitors, we identify missing topics, questions, and supporting content that can be added to strengthen your topical authority and win featured snippets.
Competitor SEO Audit
Gain the upper hand in search by uncovering exactly what your competitors are doing — and how to do it better. Our Competitor SEO Audit goes beyond surface-level comparisons to deliver deep insights into your rivals’ keyword strategies, backlink profiles, content gaps, and technical performance. We pinpoint where they’re winning traffic, where they’re vulnerable, and how you can outpace them in rankings, authority, and conversions. If you're serious about SEO growth, this is where your strategic advantage begins.
Organic Keyword Benchmarking

Technical Strengths & Weaknesses

Strategic Growth Opportunities
The audit ends with a tactical plan: what to replicate, what to avoid, and how to outrank competitors through smarter, data-backed SEO execution.
What Makes Our SEO Audit Different
Manual + AI-Powered Precision
We combine human expertise with AI tools to surface issues no automated scanner can detect on its own—like intent mismatches, engagement gaps, or content dilution.
Prioritized, Actionable Fixes
You won’t get a generic checklist. You’ll get a prioritized plan that separates must-fix-now items from long-term improvements, complete with developer-ready instructions and stakeholder notes.
No Obligation, Just Clarity
Whether you implement the fixes in-house or with our help, our audits are designed to empower your team with transparency, clarity, and control over your SEO future.
A Roadmap You Can Actually Use
Every audit concludes with a prioritized action plan by ROI impact and ease of implementation — perfect for internal teams or external developers to act on immediately.
Harnessing the Power of Google Search Console
We tap into the full potential of Google Search Console to transform raw search data into strategic SEO wins — optimizing visibility, fixing issues, and revealing the exact queries and content that drive growth.
Performance Insights That Drive Results
We use Google Search Console (GSC) to uncover how your site is performing directly in Google’s eyes — analyzing clicks, impressions, CTR, and average rankings across pages and queries.
Keyword-Level Visibility Analysis
GSC reveals the exact search terms bringing traffic to your site. We use this data to refine content, optimize on-page SEO, and uncover high-potential keywords you're already ranking for — but not capitalizing on.
Indexing & Coverage Diagnostics
We detect crawl errors, excluded URLs, and indexing issues that may be holding your content back. Every critical issue is flagged, prioritized, and fixed to ensure search engines can access and trust your content.
Link Reporting & Authority Signals
We audit the internal and external links Google sees as most important — helping you double down on top-performing content and identify opportunities to strengthen internal architecture and backlink targets.

Beyond Google Search Console, we deploy a full suite of industry-leading SEO tools to provide the deepest, most accurate insights possible. Each tool plays a specific role in uncovering what’s working, what’s broken, and where untapped growth lives.

Most asked questions
What exactly is an SEO audit?
An SEO audit is a comprehensive review of your website's ability to rank in search engines. It covers technical SEO, on-page optimization, content quality, backlinks, site structure, mobile usability, and more. Think of it as a health check that identifies what’s helping or hurting your visibility.
Why do I need an SEO audit for my website?
Search engine algorithms evolve constantly. An audit helps you stay aligned with best practices, identify performance barriers, uncover missed opportunities, and correct issues before they impact rankings or traffic.
What tools do you use during an SEO audit?
We combine industry-standard SEO tools with manual analysis. This includes platforms like Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, and custom crawl diagnostics—plus our proprietary E-E-A-T alignment checklist.
How often should I get an SEO audit?
We recommend a full SEO audit at least twice a year, or whenever your site undergoes major changes—like a redesign, migration, or significant content update. Ongoing mini-audits may be monthly or quarterly, especially for enterprise or ecommerce sites.
How does an SEO audit support my content strategy?
Our audits inform your content by identifying keyword gaps, underperforming pages, and opportunities for semantic enrichment. We ensure your content not only ranks but aligns with what search engines define as “helpful, trustworthy, and authoritative”.
Can SEO audits help with recovering from a Google penalty?
Yes. If your rankings have dropped suddenly or you’ve been hit by an algorithm update, our audits can diagnose the issue and outline a recovery roadmap. This includes backlink analysis, spam signal checks, and technical compliance.
Do you audit social media or local SEO as part of the SEO audit?
Yes, we offer SEO audits that integrate with your social media and local SEO presence. This includes reviewing Google Business Profile consistency, brand mentions, social signal indexing, and NAP data accuracy for local visibility.
What’s the difference between a technical SEO audit and a full SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit focuses solely on backend elements like site architecture, crawlability, page speed, and indexing issues. A full SEO audit includes technical, on-page, off-page (backlinks), content quality, UX signals, and E-E-A-T alignment to give a holistic performance overview.
How long does an SEO audit take?
Timelines vary based on site size and complexity. A typical audit for a mid-sized website takes 7–14 business days. Larger enterprise sites may take up to 3–4 weeks due to deeper crawl and data analysis requirements.
Will I need a developer to implement audit recommendations?
Some recommendations—like fixing site speed, schema, or crawlability—may require a developer. We categorize each fix by type (content, UX, technical), so you’ll know what you can do in-house vs. what needs dev support. We can also collaborate directly with your team or partner dev agency.
Do SEO audits include mobile performance evaluation?
Absolutely. With Google’s mobile-first indexing and Core Web Vitals playing a major role, mobile usability is a core pillar of our audits. We analyze page speed, mobile UX, touch targets, and responsive design compatibility.
Will an SEO audit guarantee higher rankings?
No reputable SEO agency will guarantee rankings. However, a thorough audit provides clear, prioritized actions that improve your site’s ability to rank by fixing barriers, enhancing content, and aligning with algorithmic expectations.
What industries benefit most from SEO audits?
All industries can benefit—from SaaS and ecommerce to healthcare and local services. However, industries that deal with YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) topics—such as finance, legal, or health—benefit significantly due to the importance of trust, accuracy, and E-E-A-T compliance.
