    Our audits

    Technical audit

    Examine the foundation of your website with a full technical review. We check crawlability, indexing, page speed, mobile usability, and site architecture to identify anything that might prevent search engines from finding, understanding, or ranking your pages.

    On-page audit

    We review content quality, headings, metadata, keyword targeting, and internal linking to improve relevance, structure, and visibility. Strong on-page optimisation helps your site rank higher and makes it easier for visitors to find exactly what they need.

    Off-page audit

    Understand how your website is perceived across the web. We assess your backlink profile, authority signals, and competitor performance to identify opportunities for growth and highlight potential risks.

    SEO audit FAQs

    An SEO audit is a comprehensive review of your website to identify issues that may be limiting its ability to rank well in search engines. It examines everything from technical elements like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawl errors, to content quality, internal linking, and backlink profiles.

    Essentially, an SEO audit provides a snapshot of your site’s overall health, highlighting strengths, weaknesses, and opportunities. For businesses experiencing low traffic, an audit shows exactly where improvements are needed to increase visibility, drive more qualified visitors, and ultimately improve conversions. A thorough audit also gives actionable recommendations, helping you prioritise fixes based on impact and effort. This of it as a roadmap to boost performance and ROI.

    SEO audits are grounded in a combination of technical, on-page, and off-page factors that collectively influence your website’s visibility.

    Technical elements include site speed, mobile-friendliness, URL structure, crawlability, and indexing. On-page factors cover content quality, keyword targeting, metadata, headings, and internal linking. Off-page aspects focus on your backlink profile, domain authority, and online reputation. Audits also consider user experience signals such as engagement metrics, bounce rates, and navigation clarity.

    By analysing these areas, an audit identifies both obvious and hidden obstacles preventing your site from ranking higher and earning more conversions.

    SEO audits are essential because they reveal the factors holding your website back from performing at its best. Without regular audits, technical errors go unnoticed, content can underperform, and your site may fail to meet search engine guidelines. Audits also help prevent issues from compounding over time, such as broken links, slow page speeds, or duplicate content.

    For businesses, this translates into more visibility, better user experience, higher rankings, and ultimately increased revenue. Audits are particularly valuable when launching a new website, after a redesign, or following a drop in search performance. 

    SEO audits aren’t one-size-fits-all; different audits examine different parts of your website, and the right one depends on what you’re trying to fix or improve.

    A technical SEO audit looks at the foundations: crawlability, indexing, site speed, mobile usability, and architecture. An on-page audit focuses on your content, metadata, headings, and internal linking. An off-page audit examines your backlink profile, authority signals, and how your site is perceived across the web. A content audit reviews what you’ve already published, identifying gaps, thin pages, and opportunities to improve or consolidate. A UX and conversion audit looks at how visitors actually experience your site, and whether it’s set up to turn traffic into enquiries or sales.

    Most businesses benefit from a combination of these, which is why our audits cover all of them. That way, nothing gets missed and you get a complete picture of what’s working, what isn’t, and exactly where to focus next.
