Most SEO spend is wasted on the wrong work because no one knows what is actually holding the site back. An audit fixes that. You get a clear read of what is broken, why your rankings sit where they do, and a roadmap ordered by impact, not a raw list of errors.
An audit is not a list of everything a tool flagged. It is a diagnosis. A good one answers three questions in plain language, then turns the answers into an ordered plan.
If pages are blocked, slow, duplicated, or hidden behind broken code, nothing else matters. We check crawling, indexing, speed, and structure first, because these problems cap everything above them.
We look at whether your pages match what people are searching for, cover the topic well, and are not competing with each other. This is where most sites quietly lose to a competitor who said it better.
We review your backlinks and brand signals against the sites already ranking, so you know if the gap is content, trust, or both, and what it will take to close it.
A free crawler answers none of these. It hands you a color-coded list of errors with no sense of which ones cost you traffic and which ones do not matter at all. Teams then spend months fixing warnings that were never the problem.
Our audit is done by a person who reads the site the way Google and a buyer do, checks it against the competitors who outrank you, and delivers a roadmap ordered by impact. You always know the next thing to do and why it comes first.
Nine areas of review, delivered as one report and one ranked plan. Every finding comes with why it matters and what to do about it.
The complete review across technical, on-page, content, and off-page, pulled into one report with findings ranked by impact. This is the foundation every other service on this page builds from.
Crawling, indexing, site speed, Core Web Vitals, canonicals, redirects, structured data, and mobile. The problems that cap your whole site if they go unfixed.
Titles, headings, search intent, thin and duplicate pages, and pages competing with each other. Where the content wins or loses the ranking.
Your link profile against the competitors ranking above you, plus any toxic or spammy links dragging you down and the gaps you need to close.
The keywords, pages, and links your competitors have that you do not. This turns the audit from a checklist into a plan for taking their traffic.
A keyword map and content plan that assigns every target search to one page, so you build the right pages in the right order instead of guessing.
Every finding turned into a task, ranked by impact and effort, with quick wins up top. Your team or ours can pick it up and start on day one.
A check that your analytics, Search Console, and conversion tracking are set up right, because a plan is only as good as the numbers you measure it by.
Senior direction on a retainer: strategy, priorities, a second opinion on your team or current agency, and a fractional SEO lead who owns the plan.
Some teams do not need another agency doing the work. They need senior direction, a plan they can trust, and someone to keep them honest. That is what our consulting covers.
From a single audit to ongoing senior direction.
An audit earns its keep whenever you are about to spend money on SEO, or you already are and cannot tell if it is working.
Traffic flat for months and no clear reason why. An audit finds the ceiling and how to break it.
A traffic drop after an update, a migration, or a redesign. We trace the cause and give a recovery plan.
Record what ranks and plan redirects so a new site does not quietly wipe out your traffic.
Marketers who need senior direction, a second opinion, or a plan to work from without a full-time hire.

If we run it as a retainer: the roadmap is worked through in priority order, with monthly reporting against the audit baseline, a strategy call, and the plan refreshed each quarter as the site and the search results change

|---|---|---|
| What you get | A list of every error the tool found | A diagnosis of what is costing you rankings, and why |

| Intent and content | Cannot judge it | Reviewed by a person against real searches |
| Competitors | Not included | Compared against the sites ranking above you |

| Typical audit | Rank Titans | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | A long PDF of everything found | A report plus a task list ranked by impact |
| Language | Jargon aimed at other SEOs | Plain language you can act on or hand off |
| Priorities | Left to you to work out | Quick wins first, then the heavier work |
| Follow-up | None | A walkthrough call and the option for us to execute |
| Honesty | Padded to look thorough | Only what matters, told straight |
Every finding is ranked by impact and effort, with quick wins first. You always know the next thing to do, instead of drowning in a list of warnings.
A tool cannot judge search intent, content quality, or which issues actually cost you traffic. Ours is read and prioritized by someone who has fixed these problems before.
Take the roadmap and run it in-house, or hand the work to the same team that wrote it. You are not stuck holding a plan with no way to act on it.
If the problem is your product, your market, or a decision that will not pay off, we say so. An audit that only tells you what you want to hear is worthless.
It depends on the size of your site and how deep you need to go. A focused audit for a small site is a few hundred dollars, and a full audit with a strategy roadmap for a larger site runs into the low thousands. We price by scope, and every option is on the SEO packages page. We also offer a free starter audit.
A free tool spits out a list of errors with no order and no context. Our audit is done by a person who checks what the tool cannot: search intent, content quality, competitor gaps, and which issues actually matter for your rankings. You get a roadmap ordered by impact, not a wall of red flags.
A full audit usually takes one to two weeks, depending on the size of the site. You get a written report with findings and a prioritized roadmap, plus a call to walk through it. Larger sites and deeper strategy work take longer, and we agree the timeline before we start.
Either way. The audit and roadmap can be handed to your team, or our team can carry out the fixes and the ongoing work. Many clients start with an audit and move into a retainer once they see the plan. You are not locked into either path.
Yes. A drop usually traces back to a specific cause: an algorithm update, a technical change, lost links, or a migration that went wrong. We check the timing against known updates and your own changes, isolate the cause, and give you a recovery plan.
An SEO consultant sets direction and priorities without necessarily doing all the hands-on work. That covers strategy, reviewing what your team or another agency is doing, training, and acting as a fractional SEO lead who owns the plan. It suits companies with an in-house team that needs senior direction.
Yes, and it protects you. The audit is how we learn your site, size the work, and set honest expectations before any retainer starts. It means the plan is based on your actual site, not a template, and you can take the roadmap elsewhere if you choose.
Yes, and this is the best time to do it. A pre-migration audit records what already ranks, plans the redirects, and flags the pages and structure to keep, so a redesign does not quietly wipe out your rankings. We also check the new site before it goes live.
