What do you need from me?

The URL, and a sentence about what the site is supposed to do for the business. If you want the deeper version, read-only access to Google Search Console lets us look at what Google actually sees instead of inferring it.

How long does it take?

We confirm receipt and tell you when to expect the video at that point. Recording it properly takes longer than skimming a report tool, and we would rather be accurate than fast.

Do you audit WordPress, Wix, and Shopify sites?

Yes, and custom builds. The platform changes which fixes are cheap and which are expensive, so the video says which is which for yours.

What is a technical SEO audit, versus a full one?

A technical audit asks whether search engines can get to the site, render it, read it and rank it. That covers crawl and index, speed, site structure and structured data. A full audit adds content and authority work, plus local signals. The free video covers the full technical picture and the biggest gaps in the rest.

What happens after the video?

Nothing, unless you want it to. Many people take the notes and fix things themselves or hand them to their developer. If you want us to do the work, the next step is a short call and a fixed quote for a foundation project.

SEO audit services

Send the URL. Get a video back.

A free SEO audit, recorded as a short video by the person who would do the work. It shows what is holding the site back in search and what to fix first. It also tells you honestly whether we are the right fit.

Free video audit

The URL and a sentence about the business is enough.

Read-only Search Console access, if you want to share it, makes the video sharper.

What comes back

The video
Around ten minutes, screen-recorded, walking through the site as a search engine and a customer would see it. Plain language, specific to your pages.
The notes
A short written list of what to fix, in priority order, with the reason next to each item. Yours to hand to anyone.
The fit call
An honest read on whether the work is worth doing and whether we are the right people to do it. Sometimes the answer is that you do not need us yet.

What the video covers

Six things we look at, in the order they matter.

A technical SEO audit asks one question in six ways. Can a search engine get to this site, render it, read it and rank it? And once it can, does the site deserve the ranking?

01
Crawl and index
What Google can and cannot reach: pages missing from the index, redirect chains, duplicate URLs, and the robots and canonical mistakes that hide good pages.
02
Speed and Core Web Vitals
Field data where it exists, lab data where it does not, and the two or three actual causes behind a slow score rather than a list of forty warnings.
03
Structure
Whether each page has one clear job, whether titles and headings say what the page is, and whether the internal links let a crawler and a person find the important pages.
04
Structured data
Whether there is schema at all, and whether it validates and matches the page. Then which rich results the site is eligible for but not earning.
05
Content gaps
The questions customers ask before they call that the site does not answer, and the pages competing with each other for the same search.
06
Local signals
If you serve a place: whether the site and the Business Profile agree on who you are and where. The deeper local review lives on the local SEO page.

When to get an audit

Signs a site needs one.

Traffic dropped after a redesign or a platform move

The most common audit request, and usually the most fixable: redirects, lost pages, or a structure that no longer matches the searches.

Pages you published are not in Google

Indexation problems are quiet. Nothing looks broken, and the pages simply never appear.

The site feels slow on a phone

If it feels slow to you on a good connection, it is measurably slow to a customer on a bad one.

Rankings have not moved in a year

Steady content with no movement usually means a structural or technical ceiling, not a content problem.

You inherited a site and nobody knows what is on it

An audit is the fastest way to get an honest inventory before you decide what to keep.

The reports you get are unreadable

If a monthly report does not tell you what changed and why, a second opinion in plain language is worth ten minutes.

When it becomes a project

Technical SEO services, quoted fixed.

If the video shows work worth doing and you want us to do it, it becomes a foundation project: a defined list of work at a fixed price, with a finish line. Ongoing SEO is a separate decision, made after the foundation holds.

Technical SEO fixes

The foundation project: crawl and index repairs, redirects, speed work, structured data, and measurement, scoped to a fixed price with a defined finish line.

Site speed work

Core Web Vitals on WordPress, Wix, Shopify, and custom builds. The usual culprits, in order: theme output, then images, then third-party scripts.

Migration and redesign audits

Before and after a platform move or a redesign, so the redirects hold and the structure survives. The rankings should come with you.

Yes. The video and the written notes are yours whether or not we ever speak. No call is required first, and there is no obligation after. If we think we are not the right fit, the video says so and, where we can, points you to someone who is.
