A website SEO audit is a critical step in developing and executing an effective search engine optimisation strategy. An SEO audit examines all the factors that influence how search engines like Google rank your website. This includes technical components, on-page optimisation, off-page signals, and more.
At Shake Digital, our expert SEO auditors will perform a comprehensive analysis of your website to uncover weaknesses and problems that may be limiting your organic visibility and search traffic. We use advanced tools and proven methodology to evaluate your site’s overall SEO health and uncover specific issues you need to address.
The benefit of an SEO website audit is it provides you with a complete evaluation of areas for improvement. Rather than guessing what might be wrong with your SEO, our audit will pinpoint the exact problems so you can take targeted action to fix them. This prevents wasted time and resources. Our audits result in a clear roadmap for boosting your SEO rankings and revenue.
Our SEO Auditing Process
When you choose Shake Digital for SEO auditing services, you’ll benefit from our refined 6-step process:
Initial Consultation
We start every project with an in-depth consultation to understand your business, goals, target audience, and current organic performance. This helps guide the audit to focus on your highest-priority needs.
Technical SEO Audit
Our experts thoroughly evaluate your website’s technical SEO health. This includes inspecting page speed, mobile-friendliness, proper crawling and indexing, security protocols, and more. Technical issues can significantly impact rankings, so fixing them is critical.
On-Page SEO Audit
A core part of our auditing process examines your on-page SEO optimisation. We analyse elements like metadata, content, keyword targeting, URL structure, internal linking, and more. The on-page audit uncovers optimisation opportunities.
Off-Page SEO Audit
Your off-page SEO encompasses external signals like backlinks, earned mentions, social shares, and other citations. Our link analysis tools assess your site’s backlink profile and domain authority. The audit identifies new link building opportunities.
Ranking Analysis
We conduct a detailed ranking analysis for your target keywords across Google and other search engines. This shows how you currently rank for core terms versus competitors. It also reveals new keyword opportunities to pursue.
SEO Report and Recommendations
Our audit culminates in a comprehensive presentation of our findings and recommended actions to improve SEO. We walk you through the data, summarise the highest priorities, and provide specific fixes.
Implementation
If desired, we can directly implement the recommendations from your audit. Our SEO specialists will develop an SEO strategy and execute the actions to enhance on-page and off-page optimisation for measurable rankings growth.
