See exactly why your site is not ranking — and how to fix it

Frequently asked questions

How long does an SEO audit take?

Our turnaround is 5–7 business days from when you grant access. We'll agree a precise deadline at kickoff and hit it. Larger sites (Enterprise tier) may take slightly longer — we'll confirm scope upfront.

What access do you need to run the audit?

Read-only access to Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 is sufficient for most audits. We may also ask for a staging URL, CMS access, or server logs if specific issues warrant deeper investigation.

Do you fix the issues or just report them?

The SEO Audit is a diagnostic and prioritised fix list — we tell you exactly what to fix and why, scored by impact and effort. If you want us to implement the fixes, we can scope that as a separate project or an ongoing retainer.

Can a one-time audit really improve our rankings?

Yes — particularly if technical issues are holding the site back. We've seen audits unblock significant ranking improvements within weeks (see our case studies). That said, SEO is ongoing: an audit is the best starting point, but a retainer is often needed to sustain gains.

What if my site is on WordPress / Shopify / Webflow?

We audit sites on any platform. Our recommendations will be specific to your CMS — we know which issues are platform-level limitations and which are configurable. Some fixes may require developer involvement on your end.

Do you cover local SEO in the audit?

Yes — if your business has a local presence we include Google Business Profile review, local citation consistency, and LocalBusiness schema as part of the audit.

How is this different from a free tool like Ahrefs or Semrush site audit?

Automated tools flag issues but don't prioritise them, explain their business impact, or tell you what to fix first. Our audits combine automated crawls with manual expert analysis — we interpret the data and give you a clear, ranked action plan, not a 200-item checklist.
