SEO Audits FAQs

How often should I get an SEO audit?

We recommend comprehensive audits annually, with lighter check-ups quarterly. However, audits are essential before website redesigns, after traffic drops, or when planning major SEO investments to ensure resources are deployed effectively.

What does an SEO audit include?

Our audits cover technical SEO (crawling, indexing, site speed), on-page optimisation (content, titles, structure), backlink analysis, competitor research, content gaps, and search performance trends. You receive a prioritised action plan with specific recommendations.

Will you fix the issues identified in the audit?

Audits identify and prioritise issues with implementation guidance. Many clients handle fixes internally, whilst others engage us for implementation. We're flexible and can provide ongoing support or simply deliver the roadmap for your team.

How long does an SEO audit take?

Most comprehensive audits take 5-7 working days from initiation to delivery. Complex sites with thousands of pages or extensive technical issues may require additional time to ensure thorough analysis.
