What Is an SEO Audit and Why Do I Need One?

SEO Reports show you data. SEO Experts deliver results.

Having an SEO consultant perform an SEO audit is a critical early step in any digital marketing campaign. An SEO audit assesses how your current website and online presence are functioning at the SEO level—and whether your strategy is operating based on best practices. Many of the problems audits reveal aren't immediately visible.

There are many ways your SEO initiative can go wrong, and staying within best practices can be challenging. Assessing issues like keyword usage, site structure under the hood, user experience, and more is essential.

When it comes to SEO Audits you can find several different SEO software online and run a report. The value in an SEO audit is having an SEO expert analyze the data within the report and tell you what’s important and should be actioned on your site based on years of research, guidelines and trial and error.

Benefits of SEO Audits

Let's get specific so you can understand precisely why SEO audits are invaluable. The auditing process helps businesses identify website imperfections and tactical flaws that suppress sites in search rankings. Once those flaws are gone, you'll feel comfortable knowing your site is using the right strategy while following best practices.

Website users will get a superior experience, which matters more than many people realize; Google looks for design flaws that can frustrate a site's visitors, and it dings you for them. For instance, a slow loading page is enough to bury your site on page 10 of the search results. You'll also learn what competitors are doing with their own SEO efforts and how well those efforts serve them.

Keywords are, well, key, but they're not all equal—and some of yours might be underperforming, while others that you haven't even thought about could be grabbing searchers' attention in the rankings. Yet others might attract the wrong people entirely. In the long term, an SEO audit will massively increase your ROI. Fixing fundamental SEO flaws prevents problems and offers solutions much longer than just adding more SEO on top of existing mistakes.
