What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is a full in-depth analysis of your website with regards to its search engine optimisation. An SEO auditor will investigate a range of website elements that impact your SEO results, such as the performance of your site and the quality of its content.

A thorough auditing process can also help you get a glimpse into how your competition is ranking.

How can an SEO audit improve your website's performance?

SEO is extremely important when it comes to the popularity of a website and where your website ranks in search engines results pages. As SEO auditing will offer you an in-depth analysis of your SEO performance, it can help you improve the ranking of your site’s web pages.

Although SEO auditing won’t make the changes itself, it will offer you the means and recommendations to spot potential improvements in your SEO structure.

The benefits of an SEO site audit

As you might have guessed, SEO auditing comes with a whole slew of benefits that are sure to help you improve the ranking of your website. Take a look below to see what benefits you can expect from in-depth SEO analysis provided through auditing!

Improve your website's performance

Website performance can be key to a company’s success, especially with today’s focus on all things digital. Although this tends to lean more towards technical SEO, an audit can still help you spot ways to boost the performance of your site.

An in-depth analysis of your site’s SEO metrics can offer your tech team a way of finding potential performance faults with your site. Factors such as broken links, page speed, mobile responsiveness, and similar technical aspects can all impact the performance of your website.
Alongside the technical performance of your site, your website’s SEO performance can also be improved thanks to an audit.

SEO performance is based on how your website compares to your competition and whether or not you are one of the first search results. Site auditing excels in offering your technical team the knowledge they need to improve your SEO performance.

Enhance your content strategy and tactics

Improving your content strategy and tactics is key to bringing more site visitors to your home page. However, it can be difficult to know exactly what is lacking with your current strategy and how you can improve this.

Through a site audit, you will be able to find out ways your content strategy is lacking and what you need to adapt to ensure a well structured SEO copywriting style. Elements such as using relevant keywords in meta tags, the amount of content and keyword density on each page, the use of images with alt text, all play a role in boosting your website’s performance.

A robust content strategy is key to getting to the first page of the top search engines, which is why reviewing it is so important.

Let us help you create an effective SEO content strategy.

A SEO audit is a comprehensive and lengthy process that will analyse your current website's information, including the:

  • Architecture
  • Content Management System
  • Page Titles
  • Meta Descriptions
  • URL Structure
  • Coding Issues

A SEO audit is often the first step in redesigning a company's digital marketing strategy. However, regular audits are equally important as they help you understand how the Google Search Engine ranks your website as it and your website evolve.

An SEO audit can be quite a complex process and the way in which it is conducted changes depending on the digital marketing agency you work with. At White Chalk Road, we perform SEO audits through a complete diagnosis of the website's technical problems by utilising various tools and company processes.

We begin by harvesting all your website information, identifying positives and any issues that contribute to lowering your Google ranking, including improper URL structures, broken links, site speed, low quality of content, and much more.

We then offer recommendations on how your technical SEO can be improved and help you implement those recommendations, such as adding structured data or creating an XML sitemap.

The amount of time a SEO audit takes is highly dependent on the size, complexity, and amount of issues you may have on your website.

Generally, performing a technical SEO audit for one of our clients takes around 6 hours to complete but may take a couple of hours longer for large websites.

To ensure you are consistently ranking highly on Google and other search engines, you should consider completing an SEO audit regularly. Ideally, you will want an in-depth SEO audit at least 1 to 2 times a year to maintain your website's performance.

The price of your SEO audit will depend on the size of your site and what elements require investigation. At White Chalk Road, we offer an obligation free SEO audit to Australian businesses. If you would like to know more, get in touch.
