Our SEO Audits services

Site speed

How fast your website operates is a key ranking factor now. We evaluate page load times, server responsiveness and Core Web Vitals for mobile and desktop performance, as well as total blocking time, contentful paint, cumulative layout shifts and more.

Think you need a site speed test? Ad Rank One can help with this and a whole lot more besides.

Mobile responsiveness

People use a range of devices to spend time online and your site has to be responsive on all of them. We evaluate how well it adapts to, loads on and functions across smartphones, tablets and desktops.

Mobile-first indexing is now a top priority for search - so it needs to be a top priority for you too! Prevent ranking drops, improve your bounce rate and capture search traffic from a range of sources with an in-depth SEO audit.

Content quality

Content has long been king in the world of SEO - and this is even more true now that AI search is making waves. Your website content has to be high-quality, relevant, practical and useful to drive visibility in both organic search rankings and AI citations.

An SEO audit will help identify which pages are outdated or underperforming so you can see where best to target your efforts for significant and long-lasting rankings boosts.

Competitor analysis

An important aspect of any SEO audit, competitor analysis involves looking at what others in your industry are doing online. This will identify new keyword opportunities, content strategies and backlink profiles, and beneficial linkable assets.

We work closely with our clients to develop a deep understanding of their brand and their sector, competitors included, to ensure that insight and analysis is accurate, relevant and useful.

Backlink profile

Backlinks are those that point towards your site from external sources and this is incredibly valuable for SEO success. But not all backlinks are created equal.

SEO analysis will review which links are the most relevant and authoritative, which are harmful and damaging your site, and where high-value link-building opportunities lie.

Page relationship

Here, all internal links, URL structure and thematic relevance are evaluated across the entire website to make sure that search engines are fully able to understand its hierarchy.

Your website structure and breadcrumbs have to make sense for search crawlers to index effectively. An audit will make sure that this is the case and reveal any areas ripe for improvement.

Why is an audit important for SEO?

Regular SEO audits are a vital part of any digital marketing strategy, diagnosing hidden technical issues, identifying opportunities to outrank your competitors and enhancing the overall user experience to boost your rankings as the ultimate objective.

How long does an SEO audit take?

Typically, an SEO audit will take between one and four weeks to complete, depending on how big your website is, what platform it’s on and the depth of the analysis required.

Smaller sites of up to 50 pages can take a week to review, while a site of up to 500 pages can take upwards of three weeks.

How often should SEO audits be done?

Regular reviews are necessary to ensure that your site is performing optimally.

Depending on the size of your site and what industry you’re in, this could be carried out every three to six months - but every business should aim to have a site review conducted at least once a year.

What’s the difference between a content audit & a technical SEO audit

A technical SEO audit will look into structural issues that may be affecting how search engines are finding and loading your website. This covers crawlability, indexing, site speed, structure and structured data.

A content audit, meanwhile, will assess the quality, relevance and inherent value of the visible page content accessible to your site visitors. This includes content freshness, keyword targeting, user intent, content gaps and cannibalisation.

What are common technical SEO issues found during a website audit?

Common issues that we often see when carrying out site reviews include orphan pages that are impossible for crawlers to find, blocked resources, improper canonical tags that confuse crawlers, slow page load speeds, excessive redirect chains, unresponsive design and so on.

How do I do a local SEO audit?

You need to carry out a review of your digital footprint on your Google Business Profile, as well as any citations and brand mentions you’ve accrued over the years, and your local website signals.

This is something Ad Rank One can certainly help with, however, so you can focus on the more important aspects of running your business.
