An SEO Audit Service That Ends in a Plan, Not a 90-Page PDF
A thorough review of your site’s technical health, content, local presence and competitors, turned into a short list of what to fix first and why.
Automated SEO audit tools are good at producing long lists. They will flag hundreds of "issues", from missing alt text to long titles, all in the same shade of red. What they cannot tell you is which five things are actually stopping you from ranking. That judgement is what you pay a person for, and it is the core of my SEO audit service.
I review the site the way Google does and the way a customer does. Technically: crawling, indexing, speed, mobile and structured data. Content: whether each important page clearly answers the search it should rank for. Authority: the links and mentions you have compared with competitors. And, for local businesses, your Google Business Profile and citations.
You receive a short written report with an executive summary, the findings that matter, and a ranked action plan with effort estimates. We go through it together on a call. You can then implement it yourself, give it to your team, or ask me to do the work.

- Rankings or traffic dropped and you do not know why
- You are planning a redesign and want a baseline first
- An agency is promising results and you want an independent view
- You are buying a website or business and want due diligence
- Your team needs a clear list rather than a tool export

Why work with me on this
Because I build and fix websites as well as audit them, my recommendations are realistic. I will not tell you to rebuild your navigation when a template change does the same job in an afternoon.

Questions people ask
What is included in an SEO audit?
A review of technical health, on-page content, competitors, backlinks and (for local businesses) your Google presence, ending in a prioritised action plan.
How often should I get an SEO audit?
A full audit once a year is sensible for most small businesses, plus a quick check after any redesign, migration or sudden traffic change.
Do I need to give you access to my site?
Read-only access to Google Search Console and analytics makes the audit far more accurate. Admin access to the website is not needed for the audit itself.
Can you implement the recommendations?
Yes. Many clients ask me to carry out the plan as a fixed project or move on to monthly SEO consulting.
