Comprehensive SEO Audit Services

What we examine during an SEO audit

Every audit is shaped around the website and its goals. We investigate the areas most likely to influence discoverability, qualified traffic, conversions, and long-term search growth.

Technical Foundations

We review crawlability, indexation, rendering, status codes, canonicals, sitemaps, directives, mobile performance, and Core Web Vitals.

Architecture & Internal Links

We assess navigation, click depth, page relationships, orphaned content, internal authority flow, and access to important URLs.

On-Page SEO

We evaluate titles, descriptions, headings, URLs, images, schema, page purpose, search presentation, and conversion paths.

Content Quality & Intent

We identify thin, outdated, duplicated, overlapping, or misaligned content and uncover opportunities to better serve the searcher.

Keyword & Competitor Gaps

We compare your visibility with real search competitors to find missing topics, page types, search intents, and strategic openings.

Authority & Backlinks

We examine referring domains, link quality, competitive authority gaps, anchor patterns, and the pages earning external validation.

Analytics & Measurement

We review tracking, Search Console data, organic landing-page performance, conversions, reporting gaps, and useful success metrics.

AI Search Readiness

We assess entity clarity, source-worthy content, brand consistency, structured answers, and signals that support visibility beyond traditional results.

Modern Search Visibility

Audit the complete discovery journey—not just rankings.

Customers may discover your business through organic listings, local results, featured answers, videos, AI-generated summaries, conversational platforms, or a branded search after seeing you somewhere else.

A modern audit looks at whether your website provides the technical access, clear information, credible evidence, and connected brand signals needed across that wider search environment.

  • Clear service, product, brand, author, and location entities
  • Useful answers supported by original expertise and evidence
  • Consistent information across the website and trusted sources
  • Logical relationships between pages, topics, and customer needs
  • Content structured for people without sacrificing machine clarity

From scattered data to an actionable strategy

We combine crawling tools, search and analytics data, competitive research, and manual expert analysis. Each phase adds context to the findings that came before it.

Goals & Discovery

Data Collection

We crawl the site and gather relevant Search Console, analytics, keyword, backlink, competitor, performance, and indexation data.

Expert Analysis

Our team validates findings, investigates patterns, identifies root causes, and connects technical observations to content and business impact.

We deliver prioritized recommendations, explain what matters and why, and help your team understand the best path to implementation.

When an Audit Makes Sense

Use an SEO audit at the moments that matter.

An audit is most valuable when it supports a decision, explains a meaningful change, or creates the foundation for a larger search strategy.

START

Before a New SEO Campaign

Establish a reliable baseline and avoid building ongoing work on top of unresolved technical or strategic problems.

DROP

After a Traffic Decline

Investigate technical changes, content losses, competitive shifts, tracking problems, migrations, and other potential causes.

MOVE

Before or After a Migration

Protect important URLs, rankings, links, analytics, redirects, indexation signals, and the customer journey during a major change.

FLAT

When Growth Has Plateaued

Find the next opportunities when publishing more content or making isolated optimizations is no longer producing meaningful gains.

SCALE

For Large or Complex Websites

Identify patterns across templates, categories, faceted navigation, JavaScript, international sections, and large content inventories.

AI

When Search Behavior Changes

Evaluate how clearly the web explains your brand and expertise as customers increasingly use AI and conversational discovery tools.

Why SEO Audits Matter

Make better decisions before investing more.

A strong audit helps your team direct time, budget, and development resources toward work supported by evidence instead of assumptions.

Connect SEO recommendations to high-value pages, qualified audiences, conversions, and measurable business outcomes.

Why Cadence SEO?

We can collaborate with your developers and content team or provide broader SEO consulting and implementation support.

SEO Audit Questions

Frequently asked questions

A professional audit should make your website easier to understand—not introduce another layer of confusion.

What is an SEO audit?

An SEO audit is a structured evaluation of the factors influencing a website’s search visibility. It may include technical SEO, crawlability, indexation, content, search intent, on-page elements, internal linking, authority, competitors, analytics, user experience, and AI-search readiness. The outcome should be a prioritized plan—not simply a list of tool warnings.

What is included in Cadence SEO audit services?

The exact scope depends on the website and the reason for the audit. Typical areas include technical foundations, site architecture, on-page SEO, content quality, keyword targeting, competitor gaps, backlinks, analytics, conversion paths, structured data, and modern search visibility. We define the scope before the work begins.

What is the difference between a free audit and a professional SEO audit?

A free video audit is an introductory review intended to highlight a few meaningful opportunities and help determine whether a deeper engagement makes sense. A professional audit is a broader investigation using multiple data sources, manual analysis, URL-level findings, strategic prioritization, and a detailed implementation roadmap.

How long does an SEO audit take?

Timing varies with website size, complexity, goals, access to data, and the agreed scope. A focused audit of a smaller website requires less analysis than an enterprise, ecommerce, international, or heavily JavaScript-dependent site. We establish the expected timeline as part of scoping.

What access do you need?

Useful access may include Google Search Console, analytics, tag management, the content management system, relevant reporting platforms, and historical context from your team. We only request access that supports the agreed audit and can begin with public data when needed.

How often should a website receive an SEO audit?

There is no universal schedule. Audits are especially useful before a new campaign, before and after a migration, after an unexplained traffic change, when performance plateaus, or when a website has grown significantly. Large and frequently changing sites may benefit from more regular technical monitoring and periodic strategic audits.

Can Cadence SEO implement the recommendations?

Yes. We can collaborate with your existing marketing, development, content, and leadership teams or provide ongoing SEO consulting and implementation support. The best arrangement depends on your platform, internal resources, and the work identified during the audit.

Does the audit include AI search visibility?

Where relevant, we review signals that can influence how search and AI systems understand the business, including entity clarity, content structure, brand consistency, source quality, expertise, structured data, and supporting third-party signals. No agency can guarantee a mention or citation from a specific AI platform.
