WHICH WEBSITE AUDIT PACKAGE
TO CHOOSE?
MANY SEO AGENCIES DO NOT CHARGE FOR AUDITS?
Well, it's true but their audits usually involve auto audits. Your business must have received emails or calls highlighting issues in your website and then offering solutions. That email must have gone to hundreds of businesses with slightly different title & description.
We are not going to discuss their strategy of getting new businesses on board, however, we spend a lot of time on each project whilst offering detailed manual & auto analysis with improvements & strategies.
IN-DEPTH AUDIT REPORT
Technical Analysis
The website's technical aspects are reviewed to ensure that it is optimised for search engines. This includes analysing the website's URL structure, meta tags, sitemaps, and other technical factors.
User Experience Analysis
The website's user experience are to be evaluated to determine how easy it is for users to navigate and find the information they need. This includes assessing the website's layout, design, and overall usability.
Website Speed & Performance
The website's loading speed, images and overall performance are to be evaluated to ensure that it provides a smooth user experience.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTO & MANUAL ANALYSIS
Auto website audit and manual website audit are two methods of analysing and assessing a website's performance, user experience, and SEO factors.
Auto website audit uses automated tools to crawl the website and generate reports on various metrics such as page speed, broken links, meta tags, and other technical factors. These tools can quickly analyse large amounts of data and provide valuable insights into a website's performance. However, they may miss important details that only a human reviewer can catch. Additionally, automated tools are limited in their ability to evaluate user experience, content quality, and overall website design.
IN-DEPTH AUDIT REPORT
Content Analysis
A review of the website's content to ensure that it is relevant, informative, and up-to-date. We test for readability, clarity, and accuracy. We advise recommendations if content needs SEO implementations or improvements.
Mobile Analysis
The website's mobile optimisation is checked & tested to ensure that it is responsive and mobile-friendly. This includes checking the website's layout and design for mobile devices.
Backlink Analysis
A review of the website's inbound and outbound links to assess the website's link profile. This includes analysing the website's backlinks, internal links, and outbound links to ensure they are relevant and high-quality.
80% OF OUR AUDIT REPORT INVOLVES MANUAL AUDITS
Our manual website audit involves a human reviewer thoroughly analysing a website's performance, user experience, and SEO factors. This process can be time-consuming and require specialised expertise, but it provides a more comprehensive and detailed analysis of the website. Manual website audit allows us to identify issues that automated tools may miss and provide tailored recommendations for improving the website's performance and user experience.
IN-DEPTH AUDIT REPORT
Security Analysis
The website's security is checked to ensure that it is protected from hacking attempts and other security threats.
Competitors' Research
How your competitors' are performing? Is pricing the main factor in their performance or there is more to it? We sort of do an audit for their performance as well.
