Find out exactly what’s holding your website back

A clear, honest picture of your SEO - and where to
focus first

Not sure why your website isn't showing up in Google? Or maybe you've been told you need SEO but you're not sure where to start? An SEO audit gives you the clarity to move forward with confidence.

This is a one-off piece of work — no ongoing commitment, no pressure. Just a thorough look at your website, followed by a clear, prioritised set of recommendations written in plain English.

What the audit covers

The audit typically includes:

  • Technical health check — how well Google can find and understand your site

  • Keyword research — what your ideal customers are actually searching for

  • On-page review — titles, headings, meta descriptions and page content

  • Google Business Profile assessment — for businesses serving a local area

  • Content opportunities — where you have the best chance to show up in search

  • Competitor insights — how you compare to others in your area or niche

  • A prioritised action list — so you know exactly what to tackle first

What you’ll receive

A detailed written report, tailored to your business, delivered within five working days of on-boarding. Everything is written in plain English — no jargon, no assumptions that you know what any of it means.

We'll also have a follow-up call to walk through the findings together, so you leave with a clear understanding of your website's situation and a confident sense of what to do next.

Investment £395

If you decide you'd like me to implement the recommendations for you, this can be arranged as a separate piece of work at an additional cost of £455 — bringing the full audit and implementation to £850 in total. There's no obligation to do this, and no decision needed until you've seen the report and know exactly what's involved

What happens after the audit?

That's entirely up to you. Some clients take the recommendations and implement them independently. Others choose to continue with SEO Set-Up & Implementation, where I do it all for them. Either way, you'll have everything you need to make that decision.

frequently asked SEO audit questions

I’ve collected some of the most commonly asked questions

  • I typically deliver your report within five working days of our initial call. If you need it sooner, get in touch and I'll do my best to accommodate you.

  • Not at all. The report is written for business owners, not SEO specialists. I'll explain everything clearly.

  • That's exactly what SEO Set-Up & Implementation is for. Many clients move from audit to implementation — it's a natural next step, and having done the audit together means we can hit the ground running.

  • Yes — an audit is a great starting point for a new site. It means your SEO foundations are built on solid research from day one rather than guesswork.
