Audit – Free Website SEO Analysis

A technical SEO audit is a structured check of everything that decides whether search engines and AI assistants can read, index and cite your site. We cover 6 areas in one session: Core Web Vitals and site speed, technical SEO health, schema and structured data, GEO readiness for AI search engines, content gaps, and user experience. You receive a written action plan by the end of the session. In practice we measure before the call, not during it. The 45 minutes go to findings instead of data collection. For example, we measured our own site in 2026 across 5 consecutive requests and 45 pages, and we run the same checks on yours: response time, plugin load, whether a page builder generates the markup, and whether AI crawlers are blocked in robots.txt. You keep the plan whether or not we ever work together, and nothing about it is conditional.

We do it because it is the most honest way to start a working relationship. You see how we think, we see what your site actually needs, and both sides make a better decision about whether to work together. There are no gotchas and no obligation. It is also a business decision rather than generosity. A 45-minute conversation tells both parties whether there is a fit. That beats three rounds of proposals built on guesswork. We measured the alternative and it costs everyone more. In practice some of these calls end with us recommending you do nothing right now, or pointing you elsewhere. What we never send is an automated 40-page report generated by a free tool, because a report like that is not worth the time it takes you to open it. That honesty costs us some deals and saves us far more time.

Automated tools find technical errors. They cannot tell you which of those errors matter for your business, your niche and your competitive position, and they do not check whether AI engines can cite you at all. An automated crawler is a tool that lists errors, not one that ranks them by consequence. The gap shows up in the numbers. For example, when we audited a large recruitment site we measured its GEO readiness at 28% and its brand mention presence at 20%, and neither figure appears in any standard crawler report. The causes were specific: content locked inside builder widgets, no llms.txt, and a robots.txt that drew no distinction between AI search crawlers and AI training crawlers. In practice we measured our own pages with the same scorer before publishing them, so the standard we apply to you is the one we apply to ourselves.

Access to your Google Search Console is helpful but not required. Everything else we handle on our side before the call, so there are no forms to fill in and no questionnaire to prepare. If you do not have Search Console set up, we can cover that during the session. In practice we measure what is publicly visible before we speak: server response time, schema structure, hreflang correctness, AI crawler access in robots.txt, and whether an llms.txt file exists. That is enough to arrive with findings rather than questions. For example, on our own site there are 11 linked schema nodes and 7 hreflang tags, and both are visible to anyone who wants to check them without asking us for permission. For example, we can confirm in advance whether your schema resolves as one connected graph or as scattered fragments, which decides a great deal.

You get the action plan and you can do whatever you want with it. If you want to continue with a paid engagement, we will both have a clear picture of what that should look like. If not, the audit still gives you a real roadmap you can execute yourself or hand to another provider. There is no follow-up sequence and no pressure. We work this way for a practical reason. There are 2 of us, so chasing prospects who are not a fit costs more than it returns. In 2026 we measured where our time actually pays off, and pursuit was not it. In practice we would rather spend 45 minutes and leave without a deal than start a project we cannot make succeed. If you want a supplier who pushes until you sign, we are not it.

Technical fixes typically affect rankings within 2 to 4 weeks, because they do not depend on authority. Content and authority changes compound over 3 to 6 months. The audit tells you which category each fix falls into, so you can set expectations that match reality instead of hoping. The split matters more than the total. Fixing schema, speed or crawl access produces a measurable change quickly and cheaply. Building authority is cumulative and cannot be accelerated with money. For example, our own site answers in 0.46 seconds across 45 pages, and that baseline is what makes every later action register at all. We measure the same figures on your site before and after, so the change is visible rather than asserted. We measure the same figures on your site before and after any fix, so the change is visible in numbers rather than asserted in a report.
