Audit Services
Every layer of your site, checked and documented
Technical SEO covers dozens of interconnected systems. We audit each one systematically nothing gets missed, nothing gets guessed.
Full Site Crawl
Crawl-path analysis mapping every URL, internal link, redirect, and canonical. We find the architecture issues Google encounters every time it visits your site.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, CLS, and INP — Google's three performance ranking signals. We diagnose root causes and deliver element-level fix specifications your developer implements directly.
Schema & Structured Data
JSON-LD implementation across 10+ schema types. FAQ, Organization, Product, Article, LocalBusiness, BreadcrumbList — every page gets the schema it is eligible for.
Mobile SEO Audit
Google indexes your mobile site first. We audit mobile-desktop parity, viewport configuration, tap targets, and mobile page speed against Google's thresholds.
Internal Link Audit
Internal links distribute ranking authority across your site. We map link equity flow, identify orphaned pages, and build an internal linking strategy that amplifies your strongest content.

Our Audit Process
A systematic 5-step audit methodology
No automated reports dressed up as audits. Every issue is manually verified, severity-scored, and matched to a specific fix recommendation.
Crawl & Data Collection
We crawl your full site with Screaming Frog, pull GSC + GA4 data, and collect Core Web Vitals lab and field data across key page templates.
Issue Classification
Every finding is classified by type (technical, performance, schema, mobile), severity (critical / moderate / low), and estimated ranking impact.
Root Cause Analysis
We go beyond flagging issues we identify why each problem exists and what is causing it, so fixes address the root, not the symptom.
Fix Specification
Every issue gets a developer-ready fix spec: what to change, where, and how. No vague recommendations precise implementation instructions.
Prioritised Roadmap
Issues are ranked by ranking impact and implementation effort. You get a clear order of operations: fix these 5 things first, then these 10.
Audit Focus Areas
Deep expertise acrossevery technical layer
Different sites have different technical debt. We adjust focus based on what we find not a fixed checklist applied identically to every client.

Technical SEO Questions
Technical SEO questions,answered honestly
A technical SEO audit is a comprehensive review of your website’s technical infrastructure — the elements that determine whether Google can find, crawl, understand, and index your pages correctly. It covers site architecture, page speed, Core Web Vitals, schema markup, mobile usability, indexation, internal linking, and dozens of other factors that directly affect your search rankings.
For most sites under 1,000 pages, we deliver a complete audit within 48–72 hours. Enterprise sites with 10,000+ pages typically take 5–7 business days. Every audit includes a presentation walkthrough session where we explain findings and answer questions before you action anything.
We do both. The audit identifies and prioritises every issue with developer-ready fix specifications. Remediation (actually making the changes) is available as a separate service if you do not have an in-house developer, or we can work alongside your existing dev team.
Tools like Semrush and Ahrefs generate automated reports — they flag hundreds of issues with no context, severity scoring, or root cause analysis. Our audit involves a human SEO specialist manually verifying every critical finding, identifying why it exists, and writing a specific fix instruction. The difference in quality and usefulness is significant.
Google officially confirmed Core Web Vitals as a ranking signal. Sites with poor LCP, CLS, or INP scores are at a disadvantage in competitive search results. More importantly, poor Core Web Vitals directly impact user experience — slow pages lose visitors before they even see your content.
Yes. AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews rely heavily on structured data (schema markup), clean semantic HTML, and well-organised content to understand and cite your pages. A technical audit that includes schema implementation is one of the fastest ways to improve AI visibility alongside traditional rankings.
We recommend a full technical audit annually, with lighter monthly monitoring checks in between. Sites that publish a lot of new content, undergo development changes, or migrate platforms should audit more frequently — development changes regularly introduce new technical issues unintentionally.
Technical audits are priced based on site size and complexity. Most small-to-mid-size sites (under 500 pages) fall in the $800–$2,000 range for a one-time audit. Ongoing technical monitoring is included in all GrowthEngine SEO retainer packages at no additional cost.
