A Website SEO Audit Shows Where Growth Is Leaking
Most sites we review have the same pattern. A few pages earn most of the traffic, dozens sit just below page one and a handful of hidden problems hold the whole domain back. Common culprits include pages blocked from indexing by accident, duplicate URLs splitting authority, slow templates and old redirects that waste crawl activity.
Tools such as Screaming Frog or Semrush can list hundreds of warnings. What they cannot do is tell you which ten matter for your business. That judgement is the part of a professional website SEO audit you are paying for, and it is where an experienced specialist saves your developers weeks of work on issues that would never have moved rankings.
What a Comprehensive SEO Audit Covers
Six areas, reviewed against your Google Search Console and analytics data so every finding is tied to real performance.
Crawling and indexation
Robots.txt, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, status codes, redirect chains and the Page Indexing report in Search Console.
Speed and page experience
Core Web Vitals field data, mobile rendering, image weight, script loading and hosting response times.
Site architecture
Navigation depth, orphaned pages, internal links, URL structure and how authority flows to the pages that sell.
SEO content audit
Thin, duplicated or outdated pages, keyword cannibalisation, title and heading quality, and gaps against search intent.
Backlink audit
Link profile quality, risky or manipulative links, lost links worth reclaiming and anchor text patterns.
SEO competitor analysis
Which competitors win the searches you want, what their pages do differently and where they are weak.

Questions About Our SEO Audits
What is included in an SEO audit?
Our audits review crawling and indexing, site speed and Core Web Vitals, site architecture and internal links, on-page content, backlinks and your main competitors. Each finding is linked to the affected URLs and scored by impact.
You also get developer-ready instructions, content recommendations and a walkthrough call so the report turns into action.
How long does a website SEO audit take?
Most audits take two to three weeks once we have access to Search Console, analytics and your website. Very large or ecommerce sites with thousands of URLs can take longer, and we agree the timeline before starting.
How often should a website have an SEO audit?
A full audit once a year suits most businesses, with lighter monthly monitoring in between. Run a fresh audit sooner after a redesign, a platform change, a sudden traffic drop or a major Google core update.
Will you fix the issues the audit finds?
Yes, if you want us to. Some clients hand the report to their own developers, while others ask us to implement the fixes directly on WordPress, Shopify and similar platforms. We can also review your team’s changes before they go live.
What is the difference between a technical SEO audit and a full SEO audit?
A technical SEO audit focuses on how search engines crawl, render and index your site, including speed, structured data and redirects. A full audit adds content quality, keyword targeting, backlinks and competitor analysis, giving a complete view of why the site ranks where it does.
