SERVICE / SEO AUDIT

An SEO audit and growth plan that turns search into leads.

A paid SEO audit for businesses whose search traffic is flat, or arrives but does not convert. Alex audits the site by hand across technical SEO, keywords and intent, content, internal links, and competitors, then hands over a prioritized 90-day growth plan: what to fix, what to build, and which queries to own to grow rankings and qualified leads.

WHEN A CRAWL CANNOT TELL YOU WHY

The free SEO Audit gives a fast structural read.

The paid SEO Audit adds a human strategist. Alex diagnoses why search is not producing leads, which queries the site should own, and the growth plan to get there, then walks you through it.

WHAT THE AUDIT COVERS

The audit reviews six layers.

Each layer pairs what the audit finds with the strategist's read and a growth recommendation, so you leave with priorities, not just a list of problems.

  • Technical SEO and crawlability.

    Indexation at scale, render and JavaScript SEO, Core Web Vitals, canonical and redirect integrity, sitemaps, robots, and structured data. The audit confirms search engines can reach, render, and trust every page that matters.

  • Keywords and search intent.

    The queries your buyers actually use, the intent behind them, the terms you should own, and where you rank now. This is the judgment a crawl cannot make: which searches are worth winning for the business.

  • On-page and content.

    Titles, meta, headings, passage optimization, and content depth against the pages already ranking. Where a page answers the query well, where it is thin, and what it takes to earn the click and the answer box.

  • Internal linking and architecture.

    Site structure, orphan pages, anchor text, and how link equity flows to the pages meant to convert. Often the fastest, cheapest lever for moving rankings on the pages that drive leads.

  • Competitive SEO.

    Who is winning the searches you want and why: the content, links, and structure behind their ranking, and the specific gap to close to outrank them.

  • Growth strategy and priority.

    Alex turns the findings into a ranked plan tied to traffic and leads, grounded in Search Console and analytics. Each item carries impact, effort, and an owner, so the work starts in the right place.

WHAT YOU GET

What every SEO Audit delivers.

A diagnosis you can act on, a plan that sequences the work, and a call that makes the trade-offs clear. The point is more qualified traffic and leads, not a longer to-do list.

  • An SEO audit and diagnosis report.

    A plain-language report across the six layers, each finding backed by evidence: a Search Console data point, a ranking URL, a measured number, or a competitor page. It includes a keyword and competitor opportunity map showing the searches worth winning next.

  • A prioritized 90-day growth plan.

    The strategy: what to fix, what to build, and which queries to own, ranked by impact against effort, with a clear owner for each item. Built to grow qualified traffic and leads, and to hand to any team to ship.

  • A 45-minute strategy walkthrough.

    Alex walks through the diagnosis and the plan, answers questions, and is candid about which items are worth hiring for, which you can run in-house, and which can wait. The call is recorded for the client.

HOW IT WORKS

A fixed-scope audit in four steps.

  1. 01

    Access and context.

    You share access to the site, analytics, and Search Console, plus the growth goal: the leads, bookings, or sales the site is meant to produce. The audit is measured against that goal, not a generic ideal.

  2. 02

    The audit and review.

    Alex audits the six layers by hand, runs the competitive and keyword review, and reads where the evidence points: which searches the site can win, and where rankings and leads are leaking.

  3. 03

    The 90-day growth plan.

    Every finding is ranked by impact, effort, and dependency. The plan leads with the highest-leverage move, then sequences the next 90 days toward more qualified traffic and inquiries.

  4. 04

    The strategy walkthrough.

    A 45-minute call where Alex walks through the findings and the plan, and is candid about what to do in-house, what to hire for, and what can wait.

OUT OF SCOPE

What the audit does not include.

The audit names the next step, but the work is scoped separately. Implementation runs under SEO, and the broad design, trust, and conversion read is the Strategic Website Audit.

  • Implementation of the fixes.
  • The broad design, trust, and conversion review. That is the Strategic Website Audit.
  • Paid search or paid social review.
  • Email marketing review.
  • Sales operations or CRM cleanup.
  • Copywriting or content production.
WHEN THIS AUDIT IS THE RIGHT MOVE

The audit is built for a specific situation.

The right move when

  • Organic traffic is flat or declining and the cause is not clear.
  • Traffic arrives, but few visitors turn into qualified leads.
  • Rankings are stuck while competitors keep climbing.
  • You are about to invest in SEO and want the strategy and priorities first.
  • A redesign or migration shipped and rankings dropped after launch.
  • There is a lot of content but little organic traffic to show for it.

Not the right move when

  • The site is brand new and has not had time to rank or collect search data.
  • One specific technical thing is obviously broken and should be fixed first.
  • The SEO plan is already clear and the work is scoped.
  • The business is not ready to act on the plan.
FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

These answers cover what the audit includes, the strategy and growth plan you get, how it differs from the free SEO Audit and from an ongoing SEO retainer, how long it takes, and what access is needed.

How is this different from the free SEO Audit?
The free SEO Audit is automated. It crawls up to 25 pages and returns pass, warn, and fail verdicts on the structure in about a minute. The paid SEO Audit is run by Alex by hand: it adds keyword and intent strategy, a competitive read, and a prioritized 90-day growth plan with a walkthrough call. The free tool finds the technical blockers; the paid audit tells you what to do about them to grow traffic and leads.
Is this just a list of problems, or an actual plan?
A plan. The report names what is wrong and backs each finding with evidence, but the deliverable is a prioritized 90-day growth plan: what to fix, what to build, and which queries to own, ranked by impact against effort with an owner for each item. You leave knowing what to do first, not just what is broken.
Will this actually help me get more traffic and leads?
That is the goal the audit is measured against. Alex starts from your growth target, finds where rankings and leads are leaking, and sequences the fixes that move qualified traffic and inquiries first. The audit does not guarantee rankings, but it gives you the clearest path to them and an honest read on what each step is worth.
How long does the SEO Audit take?
Most SEO Audits are completed in about two weeks after access and scope are confirmed. The plan covers the following 90 days, and the strategy walkthrough call happens once you have had time to read the report.
What access do you need?
Access to the site, your analytics, and Google Search Console, plus the growth goal the site is meant to support. Search Console and analytics are where the real evidence lives: what people search, where they land, and where they drop off. The audit is read-only on your accounts.
How is this different from an ongoing SEO retainer?
The audit is a fixed-scope diagnosis and plan, not a monthly engagement. Many businesses use it to validate or scope an SEO investment before committing: you get the strategy and the priorities first, then decide whether to run the work in-house, hand the plan to another team, or have the studio ship it.
Should I get this or the Strategic Website Audit?
Get the SEO Audit when the problem is search: flat rankings, organic traffic that does not convert, or competitors outranking you. Get the Strategic Website Audit when the question is broader than SEO and covers design, trust, and conversion across the whole site. The SEO Audit goes deeper on search; the Strategic Website Audit goes wider across the site.
