Site Audits
- What is an SEO site audit and why do I need one?
An SEO site audit is a comprehensive review of your website's technical, on-page, and off-page SEO. It helps identify issues that may be hurting your rankings and provides a roadmap for improvement. - How do I run a free SEO audit on my website?
Use free tools like Google Search Console, Google Analytics, and free versions of SEO audit tools (e.g., Ubersuggest, SEOptimer) to scan your site. Start by verifying your site in Search Console to get data directly from Google. - What should I check in an SEO site audit?
Focus on technical health (crawlability, indexing, speed), on-page elements (titles, headings, content), and off-page factors (backlinks, authority). Also check mobile usability and security (HTTPS). - How often should I audit my website for SEO?
A full SEO audit once or twice a year is typical, but you should check key areas monthly. Major site changes or traffic drops warrant an immediate audit. - Can I fix SEO audit issues myself?
Yes, many common SEO issues can be fixed yourself with basic tools and some learning. But complex technical problems may require a developer or SEO specialist. - What are common technical SEO problems found in audits?
Common issues include crawl errors, broken links, duplicate content, slow page speed, mobile usability problems, missing meta tags, and incorrect canonical tags. These can hinder indexing and rankings.
