SEO Audit FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What Is Included in an SEO Audit?
An SEO audit includes an analysis of technical SEO, on-page optimization, content quality, backlinks, keyword targeting and user experience. The audit checks factors such as crawlability, indexing, site speed, metadata, internal links, duplicate content and broken links. It identifies problems that can limit a website’s organic search visibility and rankings.
Is the SEO Audit Free?
We offer an introductory video audit for qualified prospective clients.
This audit is designed to provide a practical overview of the biggest opportunities we see across the website and Google Business Profile. It’s not a full SEO strategy, but it should give you useful recommendations you can act on whether you hire us or not.
More detailed audits involving keyword research, Search Console analysis, competitor research, content planning and implementation strategy are typically part of a paid SEO engagement.
What Will I Receive After the Audit?
You’ll receive an approximately 30-minute video walkthrough showing the main issues and opportunities we found. Rather than sending an automated report filled with technical warnings, we explain:
- What we found
- Where we found it
- Why it may matter
- Which opportunities appear most important
- What you may want to work on first
The video is yours to review, share with your team or give to your web developer.
How Long Does an SEO Audit Take?
The time required depends on the size and condition of the website.
A smaller local service website usually takes less time to review than a multi-location website with hundreds of pages, several service areas and multiple Google Business Profiles.
For deeper campaign audits, the timeline can also depend on access to Analytics, Search Console, the website CMS and other reporting platforms.
We will explain the expected scope before beginning any paid audit or strategy work.
Do You Use Automated SEO Audit Tools?
Yes, but we do not rely on them alone.
Automated tools can help identify technical warnings, missing elements, crawl issues and performance concerns. However, they cannot fully understand your business priorities, customer intent, local competition or which services matter most to your revenue.
Every audit includes manual review and professional judgment. We focus on the issues that may affect visibility, usability and leads rather than treating every automated warning as equally important.
How Often Should a Website Be Audited?
A full audit doesn’t need to happen every month. However, it may be worth reviewing your SEO after:
- A website redesign
- A platform migration
- A sudden ranking decline
- A major Google update
- A change in services
- The addition of new locations
- A long period without SEO work
- A change in marketing providers
Businesses running an ongoing campaign should also review performance and priorities regularly so the strategy can adjust as rankings, competition and business needs change.
Is This Audit Only for Green Bay Businesses?
Our service is built primarily for local businesses in Green Bay and Northeast Wisconsin, but the same audit process can apply to service-based companies in other markets.
We are best suited for local and multi-location businesses that rely on Google Maps, organic search, phone calls, appointments, quote requests or contact forms to generate new business.
We are generally not the right fit for national SEO campaigns, ecommerce SEO or businesses that don’t yet have a website or claimed Google Business Profile.
