SEO audit services: know what blocks your site, and where to start

An SEO audit measures why your site does not capture the demand it should, and in what order to fix it. You receive a quantified diagnosis across four areas and a roadmap prioritised by impact, ready to be delivered by your team or ours.

  • 01A readable diagnosis, not a tool export: every issue comes with its volume and its consequence.
  • 02Four areas covered: technical, content, links and AI engine access.
  • 03A roadmap sorted by impact, including what not to fix and why.

01

Why an audit comes first

Investing without a diagnosis means producing content on a foundation that blocks indexing, or buying links to pages Google does not serve. The audit puts decisions back in order: what blocks first, what pays next. It is also the only way to know whether your budget belongs in technical work, content or authority.

02

What the audit covers

Four areas, one reporting format, so the workstreams stay comparable.

Technical

Crawling, indexing, rendering, mobile performance and control files, with the volumes observed page by page.

Content and keywords

Coverage of buying queries, cannibalisation, and the gap with the sites already ranking on your intents.

Link profile

Backlinks, anchors, referring domain quality and the authority gap with your direct competitors.

AI visibility

AI crawler access verified one user-agent at a time, plus citation tests on a sample of queries from your market.

03

How an audit runs

Three short phases, scaled to the size of your site.

Framing

Your priority queries, markets and technical constraints, so the audit answers the decisions you face.

Survey

Crawl, performance data, competitive analysis and citation tests, run on your live site.

Debrief

A readable document, a presentation call and a six-month roadmap sorted by impact.

04

What changes with Firstrow

We sell a diagnosis you can act on, not a score.

  • Every finding is tied to an action, an estimated effort and an expected impact
  • Metrics are named and measured separately, never collapsed into one overall grade
  • The audit also says what is not worth fixing, and why
  • Our team can deliver the fixes, without starting over

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How long does an SEO audit take?

A few business days between framing and debrief, depending on the size of the site and the number of markets to cover.

What exactly do we receive?

Prioritised findings, a roadmap ordered by impact and effort, and a debrief walked through with your team. Every recommendation states who delivers it and what it should change.

How much does an SEO audit cost?

It depends on the size of the site, the number of markets and the areas covered. We give you a firm figure after the first conversation, before anything starts.

We already have an audit, do we need another one?

Not necessarily. If yours is recent and covers AI visibility, we start from its findings and move to delivery. Otherwise we only redo the missing areas.

What happens after the debrief?

You are free to have the roadmap delivered by your team, another provider or us. The terms of an ongoing engagement are in the proposal, with no commitment at audit stage.
