For businesses search doesn't seem to notice
Find out why people searching for what you offer aren't finding you
When someone searches for a reformer class, a massage clinic or a protein brand like yours and finds a competitor first, the SEO audit looks at your site the way a search engine does and explains why: technical problems, pages you're missing and weak local signals. You get a prioritised list of fixes in plain language that you can act on with us or without us.
What you get
What’s included
Technical crawl
Broken pages, redirect chains, indexing problems, duplicate content and sitemap or robots.txt issues found and listed.
Page-level review
Titles, descriptions, headings and content on your main pages checked against what people search for.
Missing pages
Services, locations and common questions you should have a page for and don't.
Local signals
Google Business Profile, listings and location details checked, for businesses that serve a local area.
Speed and mobile
Core Web Vitals and mobile usability problems that can hold rankings back.
Prioritised fix list
Every issue ranked by impact and effort and written so you or your developer can act on it, without forty pages of jargon.
A good fit if
- Local studios, gyms and spas that don't appear in Maps or local results
- Coaches and creators whose website traffic comes almost entirely from social
- Supplement and DTC brands paying for every visitor through ads
- Anyone about to redesign or migrate who wants to know what to protect first
Not included
- Making the fixes, which we quote separately once you've seen the list
- Ongoing SEO, content writing or link building (see Marketing & Growth)
- Paid search and ad accounts
- Guaranteed rankings, which no audit can promise

Questions
Questions about SEO audit
How is this different from a free SEO tool report?
Free tools flag hundreds of warnings without saying which matter. We check them by hand, drop the noise, and add what tools can't judge: whether your pages match what your buyers search for, and which missing pages cost you the most.
What access do you need?
Google Search Console and analytics help most. We can start without them using what's public, but the report will say less about what already ranks and what's slipping.
Do you cover local SEO and our Google Business Profile?
The audit checks your profile and local signals. If the profile itself needs work, our local SEO and Google Business Profile package handles the setup and ongoing optimisation.
Can you make the fixes too?
Yes. We quote the work once you've seen the list. Smaller technical fixes are usually quick, while new pages or a platform move are bigger jobs. You're free to take the list to anyone.
How soon will fixes show up in search?
Technical fixes can show within weeks, once Google recrawls the pages. New pages and local improvements usually take months. The fix list notes which items should move first so you know what to watch.
