An SEO audit that shows exactly what to fix.
Not sure why you're not ranking? We audit your site and hand you a clear, prioritised plan of exactly what's wrong and what to fix first.
Guesswork wastes time and money. Before you invest in SEO, you need to know what's actually holding you back, and what will move the needle fastest.
Our audit digs into your technical health, on-page SEO, content, backlinks and competitors, then turns it all into a plain-English, prioritised action plan, not a 100-page report you'll never read.
A good audit is only as valuable as the plan that comes out of it. We do not hand over a 100-page export full of jargon and leave you to decipher it. You get a clear, prioritised list of what to fix first, in plain English, so you or your team can act on it straight away.
What's included
Technical health check
Speed, crawlability, indexing, schema and site errors reviewed in full.
On-page & content review
Where your pages and content are falling short of ranking.
Backlink & authority analysis
Your link profile, risks and the authority gap to close.
Competitor & keyword gap
The terms your competitors rank for that you don't, and the fastest ones to win.
Indexation & crawl-budget review
Which pages Google is ignoring, and why, so you stop losing rankings to thin or duplicate URLs.
Prioritised action plan
A clear, ranked list of what to fix first for the biggest impact.
Why an audit comes before the SEO
Most stalled SEO is not a content problem, it is a diagnosis problem. Businesses invest in blog posts or links while the real issue, pages Google cannot index, a technical change that quietly broke rankings, or content targeting the wrong intent, goes untouched. An audit exists to stop that waste before it starts.
We look at your site the way Google does, then work backwards from the outcome you want. The result is not a data dump. It is a short, ordered list of the specific changes that will move your rankings the most, so every hour and dollar you spend afterwards goes to the work that actually matters.
A plan you can act on, with or without us
The deliverable is a prioritised roadmap in plain English: what is wrong, why it matters, and what to do about it, ranked by impact and effort. Each item is specific enough that your developer or content team can pick it up and run, and we are happy to walk your team through it.
If you would rather we implement it, we can move straight into the fixes. If you would rather run it in-house, the plan is yours to keep. Either way you leave the audit knowing exactly where you stand and what the fastest path to more rankings and traffic looks like.

SEO Audit FAQ
Do I have to sign up to ongoing SEO after an audit?
No. The audit stands on its own. Many clients use it to fix issues themselves or with their team. If you'd like us to implement it, we can, but there's no obligation.
What's the difference from a free audit?
A free strategy call gives you the headline issues and opportunities. A full audit goes deep across technical, on-page, content and links, with a detailed, prioritised roadmap.
How much does a full SEO audit cost?
A full audit is a fixed project fee scoped to the size of your site, which we confirm up front. A free strategy call covers the headline issues first, so you can decide whether a deep audit is worth it.
How long does an SEO audit take?
Most audits are completed within one to two weeks, depending on the size and complexity of your site. You then get a prioritised action plan you can implement yourself, with your team, or with us.
What does the audit actually cover?
Technical health such as speed, crawlability and indexing, on-page and content quality, your backlink profile and risks, and a competitor comparison, all turned into a ranked list of the fixes that will move the needle fastest.
My rankings dropped suddenly, can an audit find out why?
Yes. A sudden drop usually traces back to a specific cause: a Google algorithm update, a technical change that broke indexing or canonicals, a manual action, or lost backlinks. We diagnose exactly what changed and when, then give you a recovery plan rather than guesswork.
Will the audit tell me if my SEO agency is doing a good job?
It will. An independent audit is one of the clearest ways to see whether the work you are paying for is sound. We assess the current state of your site objectively and show you where it is strong, where it is weak, and what should be happening that isn't, so you can make an informed decision.
