SEO Audit Services: Know What Is Holding Your Site Back
Most underperforming sites are not missing traffic for one reason — they are missing it for a dozen small, fixable ones. Our SEO audit finds them, ranks them by impact, and tells you exactly what to fix first. You can request a free SEO audit through our quote form.
The Audit
What Our SEO Audit Covers
A useful audit goes far beyond an automated scan. We combine crawler data with manual review across every layer that affects how search engines see your site — so nothing important hides behind a green score.
- 01
Technical crawl and indexation
The crawl runs the way a search engine sees your site, hunting for crawl errors, blocked pages, broken redirects, orphan pages, and indexation problems that keep good content out of search results.
- 02
Site speed and Core Web Vitals
Loading speed, responsiveness, and visual stability get measured across your key page templates, and the heaviest bottlenecks get flagged — oversized images, render-blocking scripts, and slow server responses.
- 03
On-page elements
We review titles, meta descriptions, headings, URL structure, canonical tags, and schema markup to find the pages that are sending weak or mixed signals to search engines.
- 04
Content quality and thin pages
Thin, duplicated, or outdated pages that add little value get identified, alongside content gaps where your competitors answer search queries you never address.
- 05
Internal linking
We check how link authority flows through your site — important pages buried too deep, orphaned content, broken internal links, and missing contextual links that could be doing more work.
- 06
Backlink profile and toxic link review
Your inbound links get analyzed for spammy patterns, low-quality networks, and sudden unnatural spikes, so you know which links support you and which ones may be a risk.
- 07
Local SEO factors (where relevant)
For businesses that serve a local area, we check your business profile accuracy, local citations, reviews presence, and location-page structure.
- 08
Competitor benchmark
We compare your site against the competitors who currently outrank you, so every recommendation is grounded in what it actually takes to compete in your market.
The Process
How the SEO Audit Works
A predictable, transparent process — you always know where your audit stands and what comes next.
- 1
Share access and context
Tell us about your site, your goals, and anything you have already tried. If you can share Google Search Console access, it gives the audit a stronger foundation — if not, we work with what is publicly available.
- 2
Crawl and manual review
Our specialist team runs a full technical crawl of your site and follows it with manual, page-by-page review. Tools find data points; people find the patterns and decide what actually matters.
- 3
Prioritization by impact and effort
Every finding is sorted by how much it matters and how hard it is to fix. Quick wins come first, structural projects come next, and low-value noise stays out of the way.
- 4
Written findings report
You receive a clear written report that explains each issue in plain language — what it is, where it occurs, why it matters, and what the recommended fix is.
- 5
Walkthrough and next steps
We go through the findings with you so nothing is ambiguous, and outline the logical next steps — which issues to fix yourself, and where a partner like Rank Rays can help with implementation.
