SEO Audit

An SEO audit shows what needs fixing before you commit to more search work. We investigate your website's search performance, explain the evidence and put the important actions in order.

01Question

Start with the question you need answered

Perhaps traffic has fallen, important services are hard to find, or a redesign has left you unsure what changed. An audit gives that problem a defined scope.

We start with your priorities and the information available. Access to Search Console and analytics helps us distinguish a search visibility problem from a measurement issue or a change in the people visiting your site.

02Examine

What we examine

Search access

Questions the audit investigates

Can search engines reach and index the pages you want found?

Page purpose

Questions the audit investigates

Does each important page answer a distinct customer search?

Content

Questions the audit investigates

Are service explanations, facts and buying questions useful and complete?

Site structure

Questions the audit investigates

Can visitors and search engines reach important pages through relevant links?

Technical experience

Questions the audit investigates

Are performance, mobile behaviour or broken journeys creating obstacles?

Search performance

Questions the audit investigates

Which pages and queries changed, and when?

Enquiries

Questions the audit investigates

Does the intended contact route work, and what does the available tracking show?

The exact checks depend on the website. An online store needs product and category analysis; a service business needs a close look at its services, coverage and contact routes.

03Findings

Get decisions, not just a list of errors

A finding needs a reason to matter. We explain what we observed, which pages it affects and the action worth considering. An automated warning alone is not proof that a change will improve rankings.

Your action plan separates urgent repairs, improvements with dependencies and items that need more evidence. It also identifies the access or business facts needed before work can begin.

04Example

What an action record looks like

Use this illustrative record to see what a useful audit recommendation contains. It is not a finding about your website.

  • Field

    Evidence location

    Example entry

    The affected service URL and the saved inspection result

  • Field

    Observation

    Example entry

    An unintended indexing restriction is present

  • Field

    Impact to investigate

    Example entry

    The intended public page may be excluded from search

  • Field

    Recommended action

    Example entry

    Confirm the page should be public, then correct the restriction

  • Field

    Dependency

    Example entry

    Access to the relevant website setting and approval to change it

  • Field

    Validation

    Example entry

    Recheck the setting and inspect the page again; monitor indexing separately

The record connects the observation with an action you can commission. It does not predict when a search engine will include or rank the page.

05Keep

Keep useful work you already have

An audit does not automatically lead to a new website.

  • We look for repairs and improvements within the current setup first.
  • Where a rebuild or migration is justified, the recommendation explains the limitation and what needs protecting during the change.

06After

What happens after the audit?

You can discuss implementation with Webzstore or use the findings to brief your existing team. We agree who handles the fixes, how completion will be checked and which measures to review afterwards.

An audit records a point in time. Search performance after implementation still depends on the website, competition and search systems; it is not a ranking guarantee.

Questions about SEO audits

Do you need access before the first call?

No. Bring the website address, your main concern and any dates associated with a change. We will explain which permissions are needed for the agreed assessment.

Is the free call the audit?

No. The call helps establish the problem and scope. The audit is the investigation and action plan agreed afterwards.

Can you audit a site that has recently moved platforms?

Yes. Tell us what changed and when. Old URLs, redirect records and before-and-after search data can help investigate the move.

Is implementation included?

The proposal makes that clear. Audit findings and implementation are separate pieces of work unless both are included in the agreed scope.
