SEOcycle is committed to delivering transparent, high-quality, affordable services with integrity and which suit the needs of each of our clients. These include SEO services and website audits.
The form and scope of these audits vary depending on our client’s unique needs.
Some businesses come to us seeking a site audit as a standalone service – not necessarily looking to embark on an SEO campaign, but rather with the specific goal of wishing to optimise their new or existing website or better understand how they are placed for organic visibility online.
Just as every client and their business is different, every audit is different.
What is an SEO Audit?
An SEO audit analyses and evaluates the optimisation of a website for search engines. It takes a deep dive into your website to understand and assess those factors that impact your ability to rank highly for organic searches on search engine results pages (SERPs).
It considers:
- On-page elements you can control quite easily (e.g., keyword research, contextual content, internal linking, sitemaps, and more).
- Off-page elements that you can’t control but can influence (e.g., backlinks).
- Technical SEO, which can be very complex (including elements from page speed to site security and mobile optimisation, competitor analysis, indexation and crawlability, and more).
An SEO audit should be carried out in advance of issues arising – and having an SEO audit is recommended whenever you:
- Are designing/developing/launching a new website
- Are significantly updating an existing website
- Are embarking on a new SEO campaign
- Are assessing an ongoing SEO campaign (e.g., after several months or a year)
- To understand why your ranks on search engine results pages have significantly dropped
- The ranking algorithm has undergone a significant update
- You want to ramp up your search engine results page position
