Are you looking to get your website audited properly? We provide a detailed SEO audit service so you can understand what is going wrong and how to correct it. For every potential client of ours, we do a thorough analysis of the website, in fact, even before we prepare the SEO contract.
We have done over 100+ SEO audits for various business sectors, including ecommerce brands, clinics, hospitals and law firms across Kerala, the GCC, the USA, the UK and other English speaking countries. Every audit helps the client understand the critical hidden issues on their website. There could be several unnoticed problems like canonicals, keyword cannibalization, crawl errors, redirects, spammy backlinks, plagiarized content or even hidden text.
This page is all about how a professional website SEO audit is done, and how we can help you fix the errors on your website by turning our findings into an actionable plan that helps you gain search traffic.
You should know everything about your website's current situation. Why it is not ranking, and how you can fix it. It has to be audited by an SEO professional. An SEO audit gives you detailed reports on your website architecture, keywords, URLs, content quality, on-page, off-page and other technical errors.
If you simply put your URL into a tool, you won't know the specific details, like what is working and what you should avoid. We have to use Google Search Console and tools like Ahrefs and Moz to figure out everything on your site. We also review your website code, understand the crawl errors, and fix JavaScript, images, CSS and so on. This helps Google bots crawl and index your website for better visibility and rankings.
Your organic traffic is supposed to grow over the years. If it declines or stays flat, you have to get your website audited to check which keywords are ranking, their search volume, how to get the low-hanging keywords to rank #1, or how to prioritize more high transactional intent keywords.
Most businesses, or SEO companies with limited experience, may launch a website and add pages without a proper keyword map, topic clusters, sitemap, internal linking structure or schema markup. You can't simply create pages and blogs without a proper roadmap. An SEO audit helps you create a solid SEO plan.
A comprehensive SEO audit every 3 to 6 months helps you understand whether your current SEO agency is working effectively. You can measure the progress of the ongoing work, the keywords, the organic traffic you get from SEO, how to improve your campaigns, and so on.
If you are planning to redesign a website that is already ranking, get it audited beforehand so you don't lose the traffic and rankings when you launch the new site. The audit helps you identify and protect your top pages, redirects, canonical pages, backlinks and internal links so you preserve the rankings and traffic.
If you are planning to scale across Kerala, India or other countries, our audits help you understand how to scale and expand within your current website setup, and how to rebuild across different locations.
You might get a notice from Google Search Console saying there are errors preventing your website from being crawled. Or you enter your URL into Screaming Frog, SEMrush, Ahrefs and see a lot of technical errors with a low health score. Or your Google PageSpeed Insights shows a low speed and your site doesn't load fast for your customers. For this, we can get your website audited and give instructions to your dev team on what fixes are needed and how to get them done. Otherwise, we will have it done for you.
We cover six core areas in every audit. Each one looks at a specific part of your site's SEO health.
We crawl your website with Ahrefs Site Audit and Screaming Frog. With the Ahrefs audit, I look at the health score, AI Overviews, ChatGPT pages, the backlink profile (DR and UR), organic keywords, organic traffic, content, and a competitor analysis covering their traffic, keywords, backlink profile, crawl errors and technical issues.
On the technical side, we check speed and Core Web Vitals, 404 pages, 4xx pages, pages linking to broken pages, orphan pages, pages linking to redirects, HTTPS status, 302 and other 3xx redirects, meta descriptions and meta tags, title tags, multiple H1s, word count, duplicate pages without a canonical, the sitemap, noindex tags, CSS files, image files that are too large, missing Open Graph tags, Twitter cards, and structured data validation errors.
Elite Infotech came to us recently, and with just a few website fixes a few weeks ago, they started getting traffic. We haven't even done their backlinks yet, there are none. We simply fixed the site through the audit and the content, and it started working.
Structure matters to SEO because all of this has to be done upfront. We need to know how Google views your website. First we explore the keywords, then the topics. We cluster them and build the sitemap from that. Then we build the internal link structure on top of it, so Google reads the site effectively and so a user on any page can reach the supporting pages and won't miss anything on the website.
We check everything: the grouping, the silos, category to category pages, even blogs linking to category or service pages, and pages with no links. We also create a complete internal linking plan that covers the topics you want to target in future.
Luxury Concept connected with us recently and had a bad structure. We built a proper structure for them, and they will start getting enquiries again.
We check what is covered in your content. We use Surfer SEO and Originality.ai to check if it's done properly, without too much AI content, and using real detail. We mostly check at least the first four competitors' content. We look at all the heading tags, H1, H2s, H3s, so that every topic is actually covered.
We flag the keyword gaps, the content gaps, cannibalization, thin content, AI-generated content, the wrong keywords, and whether the search intent of the content matches the keyword intent.
I found a lot of cannibalization with one client who had two separate websites optimized for the same keyword. We caught it in the audit and told them. This happens with a lot of websites. We also found content gaps when we compared them against their competitors.
We check the URLs, and whether the slug contains inappropriate characters. We check the headings, H1, H2, H3, whether the headings use and expand the main heading properly and follow the correct hierarchy, whether the primary keyword is in the H1, and whether secondary keywords are used well in the other headings. We look at the structure of the content and whether LSI terms are used properly. We check the keyword placement in the first 200 words, the 200 OK and other HTTP codes, the images, the alt text (whether it's too broad), and the image slug.
We also check that the schema markup is implemented well for local business, organization or service pages. We check the map and locations and all the calls to action, that the phone number, WhatsApp and other forms are working and even implemented at all, that the Open Graph tags are done properly, that the call button and phone numbers on the site are correct, that social media links are added, and whether the GMB profile is linked. Everything is checked against Google's guidelines.
Schema markup gives you rich results in search. That's mostly your service pages showing underneath your main page when someone searches for you. For ecommerce sites you can see products with pricing, availability and ratings. You also get recipes, videos (with thumbnail and duration), and events (with time, location and date).
We create the schema based on the page type, whether it's a service page, product, organization, event and so on. We use a schema markup generator to build it and a schema testing tool to validate it, check for errors and fix them.
I have seen this go wrong on many websites. People list product, service and even local business schema all on the homepage. People who don't understand schema well end up putting it everywhere. It happens a lot with local SEO agencies in Kerala.
Tracking matters because it's what shows whether the monthly SEO activities you're doing are actually giving results. You need to check the improvement in traffic, the backlink profile, and the quality of the backlinks.
We use GA4 to count goals and events: traffic improvement, organic traffic, keywords, new users, leads, calls, form submissions, and GMB profile calls, impressions and messages. For ecommerce we track add to cart, the thank-you page, add item, remove item and so on. This tells us what has to be improved.
Every audit runs over about 5 to 7 days. Here's what happens.
You give us access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics (GA only if you are already getting traffic).
We crawl the site through Ahrefs and check Search Console for technical errors, crawl errors and backlinks.
We find your keywords, your competitors' keywords and the blogs they cover, build the topic clusters, create the sitemap and internal link structure, and cross-check this against your current sitemap.
We check the content and understand the content gaps and structure.
We put together the complete audit report of what has to be fixed and how. This is documented, and we also explain it to you in a meeting.
Tools give us the data, but we read it manually.
For most errors and to get an overall picture.
For Core Web Vitals, to see penalties if any, the sitemap, schema markup and other crawl errors.
For content checks.
On-demand crawl and the on-page grader for page-level audits.
For the deeper technical crawl.
Alongside Search Console.
We've audited law firms, ecommerce brands, interior designers, construction companies, packers and movers, logistics companies, institutions, RV thermostat brands, industrial chemical and equipment companies, construction equipment, CCTV and safety camera brands, home automation companies, ayurveda hospitals, eye hospitals, dental clinics, yoga institutions, tour agencies and business setup companies.
Every audit is reviewed by Aiswariya Kolora, so you get what actually needs to be done, not just a report generated by a tool.
We've worked across Kerala and India, the UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah), Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Australia, the US, the UK, Canada and Malaysia.
The free audit is a generic version covering the basic things affecting your website. It's crucial information, but it won't include the how-to-fix documents, comprehensive keyword lists and so on.
We bring a full-funnel view across SEO and paid. You can check our certification here.
We've implemented for 100+ clients and hit a 100 health score through our technical SEO services, on-page SEO services and keyword research services. We have our own developers, and we're easy to communicate with.
Honestly, it's usually the basics. Keyword mapping, cannibalization, topic clusters, a solid website sitemap and the internal linking structure. Even the agencies that claim to be the best often get these wrong.
After the audit, you have three ways forward.
You take our roadmap and handle the fixes, or forward it to your own SEO or dev team.
We have developers and SEOs to get it all done for you.
We handle the topic clusters, keywords, internal link structure and the technical work, and your writer handles the writing.
