What is a Technical SEO Audit Report?
A technical SEO audit is a process that aims to uncover issues that are specific to your website and how it performs in the search engines. The higher you rank, the easier customers looking for what your business offers will find you.
Any issues discovered are presented in a report that allows you, or your chosen SEO auditing service partner (such as me), to prioritise them and set about removing them from your website.
Once resolved, this can help improve your website’s position in the search engine results pages, allowing your business to be found easier.
Why is an SEO Audit Important?
Over 91% of internet searchers only ever view Page 1 of the results.
A healthy, error-free website is vital to your business success online.
Your visitors demand an experience without issues, and so do the search engine crawlers (or spiders, as they are commonly known).
Whilst your main focus has to be the human visitor, you have to consider the spiders too, if they hit errors, this will hurt your position in the results. The risks are high. It could leave you out of sight of people searching for your services.
Internet users and the search engine spiders are amongst the harshest critics; they will be checking your website’s performance.
- How fast does it load
- The quality of your content
- The design (or theme)
- Topic relevance
- What queries your site matches
The search engines will also use a complex set of calculations (algorithms) to help decide on your ranking position.
These website crawls can happen frequently, sometimes more than once in a single day. That is why having a professional, like me, on your side.
What do Your Technical SEO Audit Services Check?
Here is a brief summary of some areas that are checked;
- The content on your website such as images, copy and internal links.
- Updating your content management system (e.g. WordPress) and its plugins.
- Technical settings in the background, such as your hosting and server setup.
After completing the SEO audit, you will be armed with all the information needed to help boost your website’s performance.
Typical reports could highlight the following issues and place them in order of importance to repair:
- Duplicate content or spelling mistakes are affecting the site.
- Technical issues such as poor security and page speeds.
- Usability errors, such as broken links.
By removing all the issues, your website will be ready to climb the search engine pages. This will help people looking for what you offer to find you easier and ahead of your competition.
How Can I Order an Audit?
Technical SEO audit reports are part of my overall website management service, however, you can also request these as a standalone service.
All websites have unique demands and expectations. I scope and price each audit project individually to ensure I meet your needs.
However, the average cost for a technical SEO audit on websites with less than 25 pages is between £500 and £750.
Each completed audit is supplied with a prioritised list containing a detailed guide on how to fix any issues discovered.
