Website Audit Services

If your website has lost visibility, or you are struggling to drive clicks via organic search, an SEO audit will help uncover the key issues that are likely holding you back.

Custom-Written Audits Offering Clear Guidance

Over a career spanning more than 20 years, I have audited hundreds of websites across a wide range of industries. No two audits are the same. Each report is written based on a thorough analysis of your website, your market, and your business objectives, and provides a clear, honest assessment of what’s required to achieve your online goals.

My reports can help you:

Identify potential algorithmic or manual penalties – and the recommended steps required for recovery.
Uncover technical issues that may be preventing search engines from properly crawling or indexing your site – and prioritise the fixes.
Assess content quality and alignment with E-E-A-T principles – helping you to shape your content strategy.
Highlight content gaps and duplication issues across your site – to ensure you are targeting the correct search terms and prompts effectively.
Evaluate how well pages align with search intent, not just keywords – so your website attracts visitors who are more likely to stay and explore.
Assess UX and performance issues that may be impacting engagement and conversions – with clear guidance on fixing these sorts of problems.
Analyse backlink quality and risk – and set out a plan for securing more high-quality links and citations.
Identify opportunities to improve visibility in AI-generated search – via systems such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google Gemini.

The type of audit you require will depend on the size of your website and the issues you are currently experiencing. A discussion with me via phone or video conference will help to determine which audit is best, based on your circumstances. You can arrange this initial chat via my contact page.
