Technical SEO audit

Technical SEO Audit Service With a Prioritized Fix List

A technical SEO audit service finds the problems content alone cannot fix: pages Google never indexes, redirect chains, slow templates, duplicate URLs competing with each other.

We crawl up to 1,000 URLs, compare the results with your Google Search Console data and check speed, mobile rendering, site architecture and structured data. You get a fix list ranked by impact and effort, written so your developer can act on each item, plus a walkthrough call or recorded video.

Fixing the high-impact items first helps search engines crawl and index the pages you care about, which gives your existing content a better chance to perform.

Deliverables

What's included in our technical SEO audit service

  • Crawl of up to 1,000 URLs

    An SEO crawler maps every reachable page, status code and link on your site. Sites above 1,000 URLs are quoted separately.

  • Indexing and coverage review

    We compare crawled pages with the Search Console indexing report to find pages excluded, blocked, marked noindex or indexed by mistake.

  • Core Web Vitals and speed

    We review LCP, INP and CLS field data in Search Console, then test key templates to trace slow loads to images, scripts or server response.

  • Mobile rendering

    Key templates are checked as Google's smartphone crawler sees them, including content hidden on mobile and elements that fail to load.

  • Architecture and internal links

    We measure click depth, find orphan pages and flag important pages that receive few internal links from the rest of the site.

  • Redirects, broken links and canonicals

    The report lists redirect chains and loops, 404s that still receive links, duplicate URLs and pages where Google chose a different canonical than the one you set.

  • Sitemaps, robots.txt and schema

    We check that XML sitemaps list only canonical, indexable URLs, that robots.txt blocks nothing important and that structured data is valid and eligible for rich results.

  • On-page basics sample

    A sample of pages is checked for missing or duplicate title tags, meta descriptions and H1s, to show whether the problem is site-wide.

Fit

Who it's for

  • Sites losing search traffic

    Clicks dropped without an obvious cause. You need crawl and Search Console data compared to find what changed.

  • Before or after a migration

    A redesign, CMS change or domain move is planned or just happened. You need redirects, canonicals and indexing verified before small errors spread.

  • Content that does not get indexed

    You publish regularly but new pages sit as "Discovered - currently not indexed" or "Crawled - currently not indexed". You need to know whether crawl paths, duplication or page quality is the cause.

  • Teams with a developer but no SEO

    Your developer can fix things but needs exact instructions: each issue with affected URLs and the expected change.

Process

Our process

  1. Kickoff

    Step 1: Kickoff and access

    After you approve the quote and pay, we hold a short call or send a questionnaire about recent site changes. You grant Search Console and GA4 access.

  2. Once access is granted

    Step 2: Crawl and data pull

    We crawl up to 1,000 URLs and export indexing, performance and Core Web Vitals data from Search Console for comparison.

  3. Before delivery

    Step 3: Analysis and prioritization

    We check crawl findings against Search Console data, group issues by cause and score each one for impact and effort, with the affected URLs attached.

  4. Within 10 business days

    Step 4: Report delivered

    You receive the fix list in Google Docs, ordered so the highest-impact, lowest-effort fixes come first.

  5. After delivery

    Step 5: Walkthrough call or video

    We walk you and your developer through the findings on a call or in a recorded video.

Timing

Turnaround & revisions

The 10 business days start when we receive access to Search Console and the site, so grant access at kickoff. Our listed price covers up to 1,000 URLs; larger sites are quoted separately.

If a finding or spec is unclear, raise it on the walkthrough call or by email and we clarify it. We do not do development work; content and on-page fixes, such as titles, meta descriptions and internal links, we can implement under a separate quote.

FAQ

Technical SEO Audit FAQ

More questions? See the full FAQ or ask us directly.

How long does a technical SEO audit take?

We deliver the report within 10 business days of receiving access to Google Search Console and the site. That covers a crawl of up to 1,000 URLs, a comparison with your Search Console data and the prioritized fix list. The walkthrough call follows delivery, or we send a recorded video instead.

Do you fix the issues the audit finds?

We do not do development work such as template changes, server configuration or speed fixes in code. Those go to your developer with a clear spec for each item. We can implement content and on-page fixes, such as title tags, meta descriptions, headings and internal links, through our on-page SEO service or a separate quote.

What if the site has more than 1,000 URLs?

The standard audit covers a crawl of up to 1,000 URLs. Larger sites, such as online stores with many product and filter pages, are quoted separately based on the number of URLs to crawl. Tell us the approximate size and we send a quote within 24 business hours.

Why does the audit need Search Console access?

A crawler shows what is on the site; Search Console shows how Google treats it. The indexing report reveals pages Google excluded and why, and the Core Web Vitals report gives field data from real visitors. Comparing both is how we separate issues that affect search from ones that only look bad in a crawl.

Will fixing technical issues increase traffic?

We cannot promise traffic gains; Google warns against SEO providers that guarantee rankings. Fixing indexing, duplication and speed problems removes obstacles that can stop good pages from being crawled and shown. Whether traffic grows also depends on content quality and competition, which is why the report notes where on-page or content work is needed.

How often should a site get a technical audit?

A site audit is most useful after a migration, redesign or CMS change, and when traffic drops without an obvious cause. Sites that publish often or change templates frequently may want one every few months. Our Authority blog plan includes a quarterly technical SEO audit for sites that want regular checks alongside new content.
