An SEO site audit measures the health of a website from a technical standpoint.
What does an SEO audit include?
- SEO Health Score – A score from 1-100 that indicates your website’s SEO Health. A healthy website is in the range of an “80.”
- SEO Errors, Warnings, and Suggestions – An SEO Audit breaks down your website’s On-Page SEO health into three categories: Errors (these are affecting your rankings), Warnings (these could become an issue if not addressed), and Suggestions (these could help improve, but are not hurting your rankings). These issues include identifying 4xx errors, duplicate content, missing meta descriptions and page s, along with broken links. It also includes a review of HTTPS implementation, correct usage of the hreflang attribute, crawlability, and indexability.
- Backlink Analysis and Toxicity Report – This report finds all websites that link to yours. Here we can identify any websites that Google views as being “Toxic” and could be hurting your SEO.
- Organic Traffic Report – This report breaks down what keywords are driving traffic, and which pages your organic traffic is going to.
