Extensive Manual SEO Audit: SEO site checkup to bridge the gaps
From broken links to algorithmic penalties to poor layout, there are hundreds of things that can affect your website’s performance and search engine rankings. But how do you get to know exactly where the gaps are? – We bet you’ve already heard about an SEO Audit, so let’s move on to it.
What is an SEO Audit?
An SEO audit is the website SEO analysis of what’s affecting its performance and keeping you from converting your visitors into leads. A thorough SEO website audit conducted by our experts can help you uncover these problems, optimize your website, and drive more traffic to your online business.
Difference between automatic and manual SEO Audit
You might have seen or done SEO audits using popular SEO tools like SEMRush, AHREFs, SiteAuditor, etc. And you are probably asking yourself: why do I need a manual one?
Automatic audit is a synthetic report generated after a site is crawled compared against best practices. It will give you a list of technical onsite errors discovered as a result of crawl, and provide generic info about each of them. However, any tool is just a number of algorithms that crawl your website. It has pretty hard settings and cannot consider a lot of things, evaluate and interpret results like a human can do. This makes the difference between an automatic audit and a manual one.
Why is SEO Audit important?
SEO audit is like a health check-up that can find all your website’s weak points. By ordering it, you get a unique opportunity to find out what is really going on with your website and detect even the smallest issues hidden behind a flawless view of your site.

Does Your Website Need an SEO Audit?
Since Google continues to update its search algorithm, it is important that you conduct a full SEO audit of your website at regular intervals to maintain a good search engine ranking. However, there are several circumstances in which an SEO website audit becomes an absolute necessity.
These include:
- When you have just built a new website
- When you have redesigned your existing website
- When you have experienced a sudden drop in your website traffic or search engine rankings
- When you have received a manual penalty from Google webmaster
In all such circumstances, we can help you devise a strategy to restore your website’s performance and drive more organic traffic to your online business hub.

What is the SEO auditing process like?
The audit acts as a strategy piece and action list of tasks for our SEO Experts to action. But getting this strategy requires following a below procedure:
- The client requests a quote for an SEO site audit.
- We provide a quote based on website size and platform.
- Once approved, the client shares GA and GSC access with our agency and provides all the necessary information if any.
- We perform SEO checks and provide a SEO audit report with instructions on how to resolve the issues.
- If the client wants us to implement all the SEO audit points, we do this at an extra cost.
- Once all the changes are made to the website, we re-check them at no cost.
Also, note that some of the actionable items can be attended to fairly quickly to ensure we plug the many deficiencies in your campaign sooner rather than later, while other tasks must be staged and applied over time. We are often asked why we cannot apply all the tasks in one full swoop. Outside of the need to schedule these tasks within existing workload priorities, our team is intimately aware and experienced enough to know that any website that ‘overnight’ becomes perfectly tweaked for Google will raise flags by Google for over optimisation. It is for this reason and with a focus on long term results that our team implements tasks in a controlled manner – delicately balancing your online business objectives with compliant Google SEO tactics.
