What is a Technical SEO Audit?

As you’ve landed on this page, you’re probably somewhat clued up on SEO and understand you need something more than a generic ‘SEO Check-up’. Those types of check usually only scratch the surface of tech/onsite SEO, content, off site-SEO and are often automated data spat from a tool.

A Technical SEO audit (also some times referred to as an On-Site SEO audit) is comprehensive SEO deep dive into how a Search Engine can crawl, index, render and rank a website and uncover issues that can be holding you site back in organic search.

Even with the best UX, the most engaging content and a good backlink profile, there can be technical issues that can be holding a site back and hurting your SEO campaign.

• You have been seeing a decrease in organic traffic

• You feel like you are lacking against your competitors in the search results

• You have recently had a new website or website re-design/migration

I’ve worked at leading SEO agencies for a total of 6 years, auditing 100s of websites of all types and sizes. From small company brochure sites, to large ecommerce brands.

I’ve worked in-house for a total for 6 years, managing SEO for some of the most well-known brands in Asia.

From a medical health publisher in 9 markets, with over 300K pages receiving million+ organic visits a day.

To the biggest ecommerce site in SE Asia, with over 50 million+ pages, receiving 10 millions of organic visits per day.

I have in-depth experience with multi-lingual/locale websites, enterprise ecommerce and JavaScript based websites.

SEO Audit Services FAQs:

Any type of website and any type of CMS, including ecommerce.

No, as I’m assessing how search engines crawl and index your site, all I need to be able to see is the publicly accessible part of the site.

All depends on the size and complexity of the site. Smaller sites may take me 20 hours, larger sites can be much longer. Lead time for most project are generally 3 weeks.

There are many tools that offer audits, however they rely on a limited number of checks and you still need someone to interpret the data.

They may flag an issue, but there could be multiple reasons why it’s happening. A human touch is needed to dive into all the data, figure out why and how its happening, then suggest the correct fix appropriate to the situation.

This is why audits take the time they do. I do use tools to gather the data, but then it’s all manually analysed.

For data gathering I mainly use Screaming Frog crawler and Server log Analyser, Ahrefs site auditor, Google Search Console, Google Analytics and various Google search operators.

For the biggest of sites, a cloud based crawler is often needed due to the sheer number of URLs. I’ve used Deepcrawl, Botify and Oncrawl mainly.

I also use a bunch of Chrome plugins to help analyse pages, export data from Google, and generally make things more efficient.

A large chunk of the work is done in Excel, manually looking through rows and rows of data digging out the issues. A few magic formulas here and there to make it scalable.

Price can vary greatly depending on how big your site is (how many known pages it has) and how many pages appear indexed in Google.

To give you an idea, my prices start at $3500.
