Free SEO audit for your website

The audit covers the areas that most often stop small business websites from being found. Each one is explained in plain terms, so you can understand the problem and what to do about it even if you have never looked at SEO before.

• Technical health. We look for broken pages, faulty redirects, duplicate pages and other problems that make it harder for search engines to crawl your site properly.
• Indexing. We check whether Google has actually included your important pages in its index, because a page that is not indexed cannot appear in search results at all.
• Page titles and descriptions. These are the words people see in search results before they click. We check whether they are missing, duplicated, too long or failing to say what the page is about.
• Content gaps. We compare the pages you have with the services and places people are searching for, and point out the pages your site is missing.
• Local signals. For businesses serving a local area, we review your Google Business Profile and your citations, which are listings of your business name, address and phone number on other websites and directories.
• Speed and mobile. We check how quickly your pages load and how well they work on a phone, since many of your customers will find you that way.
• Quick wins. We finish with the changes likely to make the most difference for the least effort, so you know where to start.

You receive a written summary of what we found, organised by priority rather than as a long list of every minor warning a software tool can produce. Each issue comes with a short explanation of why it matters and what to do about it, written for a business owner rather than a developer. Where something is already in good shape we say so, because knowing what does not need fixing is just as useful as knowing what does.

We do not promise a set turnaround time, as the work involved depends on the size of the site. If you would like to understand what an audit report usually covers before you request one, our guide to reading an SEO audit report walks through each section and what it means.

The free audit is designed to give you a clear overview and a set of priorities. Some websites need a deeper investigation, for example a large online shop, a site that lost visibility after a redesign or a migration, or one with complicated indexing problems. For those we offer a full technical SEO audit as a paid SEO audit service, priced by quote once we know what is involved.

If you go on to join one of our monthly retainers, a full onboarding audit is included in the first month of every package. That means the free audit is never wasted, because it simply becomes the starting point for more detailed work.

When you fill in the form below, it helps to tell us which services matter most to your business and which towns or areas you want to be found in. The more we know about the work you actually want, the more relevant the findings will be. It is also worth mentioning any recent changes, such as a new website, a change of address or a drop in enquiries you have noticed, because these often point straight to the cause of a problem.
