Diagnose before you prescribe

Most SEO problems are fixable. But you have to know what they are first.

A site can look healthy on the surface and still have index bloat, cannibalized keyword targeting, toxic backlinks, or crawl architecture that quietly prevents key pages from ranking. You can spend months on content or link building without fixing those issues and see no movement.

Our audit process examines six dimensions — technical health, crawlability, on-page optimization, content quality, backlink profile, and competitive positioning. The deliverable isn't a report full of red flags. It's a prioritized roadmap that tells your team what to do, in what order, and why.

What's included

Six-dimension SEO audit with an actionable roadmap

Every audit covers the full site, not just a sample — and ends with a clear action plan.

Technical SEO Audit

Crawl coverage, index bloat, Core Web Vitals, redirect chains, canonical errors, and server-level performance issues.

On-Page & Content Audit

Title tags, meta descriptions, heading structure, keyword targeting accuracy, duplicate content, and thin page identification.

Backlink Profile Analysis

Domain authority, anchor text distribution, toxic link identification, and competitor link gap analysis.

Content Gap Analysis

Map what topics and keywords competitors rank for that your site currently misses — and quantify the traffic opportunity.

Competitive Landscape Review

Benchmark your site against the top 3–5 competitors in your niche to understand what closing the ranking gap actually requires.

Prioritized Action Roadmap

Every issue ranked by impact and effort, with clear recommendations for what to fix in-house, what to outsource, and what timeline is realistic.

Good questions

Your questions, answered straight.

Free audits run a single tool and output a generic score. A real audit is a manual process that combines multiple data sources, competitive analysis, and expert judgment to distinguish symptoms from root causes. Ours takes days, not seconds — and the output is a strategy document, not a PDF of flags.
A thorough audit of a small to mid-size site takes 5–7 business days. Larger sites or e-commerce stores with thousands of pages take longer. We confirm the timeline upfront based on your site's scope.
A drop audit is a specific investigation, and yes — we do them. We look at the timing of the drop against algorithm update dates, analyze which pages and keywords were affected, and work backward to the likely cause. It's one of the most common audit requests we receive.
The roadmap is written so your in-house team or any competent developer can execute most fixes independently. We explain every recommendation in plain English. If you want us to implement the fixes, that's a separate engagement — but you're not locked in.
Yes. Competitive analysis is a core part of the audit. We review the top-ranking competitors in your space to understand what they're doing that you're not — in terms of content depth, backlink sources, technical setup, and on-page signals.
