SEO AUDIT
Find out why the right people aren't finding you.
A senior SEO review, run by a person. Not a scan.
You see what's holding your website back, in plain language, and get a 30/60/90 day plan to fix it.
From $3,500. Standard sites get their readout in about 2 weeks from access.
20 minutes on Zoom. We confirm your site size and price before anything is invoiced. If it isn't the right fit, we'll say so.
SOUND FAMILIAR?
Your website should be bringing you work.
- Your website looks fine, but the phone doesn't ring from it
- Competitors show up on Google and you don't
- Your rankings dropped and nobody can tell you why
- You're paying for ads to make up for being hard to find
- Someone handles your SEO, but you've never seen a clear plan
THE 4C REVIEW
We look at four areas.
Every audit covers the same four areas, so nothing gets missed.
Code
Is your site built so Google can read it? We check speed, mobile, broken links, errors and pages Google can't find.
Content
Do your pages say what buyers search for? We check titles, headings, thin pages and the keywords you're close to winning.
Community
Who links to you, how strong those links are, and whether any of them are hurting you.
Competitors
Who's beating you, for which searches, and where they have links and pages you don't. This includes sites that rank for your words without selling what you sell.
Plus local: for businesses that serve an area, we check your Google Business Profile and where you show up on the map.
WHAT YOU GET
A plan, not a pile of data.
- A summary you can read in 3 minutes: what's working, the 3 biggest problems, and the top 3 fixes
- Scores for code, content, links, competitors and local search
- Every issue sorted by how much it matters
- The searches you're closest to winning, and the ones competitors own
- What's next and how to fix it: a 30/60/90 day plan with no more than 15 items, each with a reason
- A readout call to walk through it together
Every report is reviewed by a person. No tool dumps, and no jargon without a plain explanation.

HOW IT WORKS
Five steps from call to plan.
- Book a 20-minute call. We make sure the audit is the right first step and confirm your site's size.
- Pay and send the short intake. Payment is a FreshBooks invoice. The intake covers your services, service area, top 3 competitors and your Google Business Profile. Send read-only access to Search Console and Analytics with it, which gets you to your readout fastest.
- We run the audit. Each tool is set up and run by hand.
- Readout call. We walk you through what we found and the fix plan.
- You decide. Fix it yourself, hand the plan to your team, or have us run it as part of an ongoing plan.
WHAT COMES AFTER
Fix what's there first.
The best gains usually come from fixing what's already there and growing the rankings you already have.
New keywords come next, chosen to fit your strategy, the buyers you want and what you sell.
Search work feeds your content, social and newsletter. That's why it often grows into a full marketing department.
SINCE 2007
We've run SEO audits for service businesses since 2007.
One service business came to us when its ads kept bringing in the wrong inquiries. The audit showed where the gaps were, and it was the start of a long working relationship.
The good thing is those are all very qualified leads.

QUESTIONS
Questions owners ask.
- What happens on the 20-minute call?
- You tell us what's going on with your website and search. We check your site size, tell you which audit fits and what it costs, and give you one next step. No pitch deck, and no invoice unless you say yes.
- Do you need my passwords?
- No. The core audit uses public data. Read-only access to Search Console and Analytics makes it sharper.
- Is this just a software report?
- No. We use professional tools, set up and run by hand. Then a person reviews every finding and writes the plan in plain language.
- Why does it take about 2 weeks?
- Each tool is run and watched by a person, and bigger sites take longer to crawl. Most of the wait is getting access and booking the readout. Sending access with your intake speeds it up.
- How do I know which size my site is?
- We check your page count, keywords and competitors on the call, before you pay.
- I already have an SEO person. Is this still useful?
- Yes. Hand them the plan. It gives you a clear way to check the work.
- Will you fix what you find?
- If it fits. The plan shows what to fix first. You can do it yourself, give it to your team, or have us run it as part of an ongoing plan.
