SEO audit services – FAQs.

What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is a comprehensive analysis of a website to assess its visibility in search engines and identify areas of improvement.

This diagnostic process examines various aspects of a site, ranging from technical infrastructure and on-page elements to off-page factors like backlinks. The audit evaluates how well a website aligns with best practices, ensuring it’s primed for optimal search engine performance. Factors like site speed, mobile-friendliness, content quality and meta tags are scrutinised.

The ultimate goal of an SEO audit is to provide actionable insights and recommendations that enhance a website’s organic search ranking, drive more traffic and boost overall digital effectiveness.

What is a technical SEO audit?

A technical SEO audit is a deep dive into the backend elements of a website to ensure its optimal performance in search engines.

Unlike general SEO audits that encompass content and backlink analysis, a technical audit zeroes in on website infrastructure. It assesses factors like site speed, mobile responsiveness, crawlability, indexing, XML sitemaps and URL structures. The audit also identifies issues such as broken links, duplicate content and errors in robots.txt files.

By uncovering and addressing these technical hindrances, the audit ensures that search engines can effortlessly crawl, index and rank the website, paving the way for improved search visibility and user experience.

How long does an SEO audit take?

The duration of an SEO audit can vary based on the size and complexity of the website, the depth of the audit required, and the tools or methodologies employed by the auditor.

A basic audit for a small website using automated tools might be completed within hours. However, a comprehensive audit for a larger or more complex website can take several days to weeks. This is because a detailed analysis involves assessing technical aspects, on-page factors, off-page elements like backlinks, and sometimes even competitor evaluations.

It’s essential to understand that while tools can speed up the process, a thorough, manual review by an experienced SEO team often yields the most insightful and actionable results.
