Do I need to give you access to anything?

We need read-only access to your Google Search Console and Google Analytics. For the full technical audit, FTP/SFTP access is helpful but not required. Everything we do is non-invasive.

How long does the audit take?

Standard delivery is 5 business days. If we need to coordinate access with your developer, it may take slightly longer. Rush delivery (2-3 days) is available on request.

What if I do not have a Google Search Console set up?

We can set it up for you as part of the audit. It is essential for ongoing SEO and completely free. We also provide alternative data sources if GSC is not yet configured.

Do you also fix the issues you find?

The free Local SEO Opportunity Audit shows you the issues and the recommended fixes. If you want us to implement them, our implementation plans start at $1,500/month and include all technical remediation.

Audit Scope

What Does a Technical SEO Audit Actually Analyze?

Every aspect of your site that affects search performance — benchmarked against your top competitors.

Full Site Crawl

We crawl every page of your site and flag every technical issue — broken links, duplicate content, missing meta tags, excessive redirect chains.

Core Web Vitals

LCP, INP, CLS analyzed and benchmarked against competitors. We give you a performance score and specific, actionable fixes.

Indexation Audit

We check which pages are indexed, which are blocked, and whether Google is seeing and understanding your best content.

Mobile Analysis

Mobile-first indexing means your mobile site IS your rank. We test every page on real mobile devices, not just emulators.

Schema Markup Check

LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Article schema verified. Missing or broken schema means lost rich result opportunities.
